Botticelli Past and Present engages with this debate. The book comprises four thematic parts, spanning four centuries of Botticelli's artistic fame and reception from the fifteenth century. Each part comprises a number of essays and includes a short introduction which positions them within the wider scholarly literature on Botticelli. The parts are organised chronologically beginning with discussion of the artist and his working practice in his own time, moving onto the progressive rediscovery of his work from the late eighteenth to the turn of the twentieth century, through to his enduring impact on contemporary art and design. Expertly written by researchers and eminent art historians and richly illustrated throughout, the broad range of essays in this book make a valuable contribution to Botticelli studies. 606 $aArt$xHistory 606 $aArt$xStudy and teaching 615 0$aArt$xHistory. 615 0$aArt$xStudy and teaching. 676 $a709 702 $aDebenedetti$b Ana 702 $aElam$b Caroline 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910682516403321 996 $aBotticelli Past and Present$93084420 997 $aUNINA
