Synopsis

Botticelli, celebrated in his own time, fell into obscurity in the 19th century. This film shows the world that he lived and created in under the wing of his wealthy patrons. One animated sequence shows Botticelli's lifelong passion for the poet Dante, striking a more turbulent note than many of his more formal paintings.
