Sandro Botticelli

Botticelli's style, born in Renaissance Florence, is all about beauty, grace, and flowing lines. Think delicate figures, elongated proportions, and an ethereal, almost dreamlike quality.

Key characteristics:

• Linear Emphasis: Outlines are crucial, defining forms with elegant curves.
• Pale Complexions: Botticelli's figures often possess a porcelain-like pallor.
• Mythological and Religious Themes: Often depicting scenes from classical myths or biblical narratives.
• Emotionally Restrained: While beautiful, figures often convey a sense of melancholy or contemplative beauty.
• Rich Colors: Bright and vibrant colors, often with symbolic significance.

Think Botticelli and "Bouncing Lines": Remember how his figures seem to bounce with life and movement? That's his signature use of flowing lines!
