Biography: Born in Florence as Alessandro di Mariano dei Filipepi, Botticelli was given his nickname, “little barrel, ” by his brother and father figure Giovanni. Botticelli studied under Fra Lippo Lippi from 1458 to 1467. In 1480, he began working on the Sistine Chapel frescoes. Although his primary subjects were allegorical and mythological interpretations, he also painted portraits and illustrated Dante’s Divine Comedy. Two of Botticelli’s most renowned works are The Birth of Venus and Primavera.
