Botticelli Reimagined
As Martin Roth, Director of the V&A, said: “Sandro Botticelli is one of the greatest artists of the Renaissance ... his celebrated imagery has come full circle to represent a contemporary ideal of beauty. This ambitious exhibition considers his legacy and shows how and why it has suffused into our collective visual memory.”
Being the largest Botticelli exhibition in Britain since 1930, the V&A's show includes fashion (designs from Elsa Schiaparelli and D&G), film, drawing, photography, tapestry, sculpture and print. Also on display are over 50 original works by Botticelli, alongside works by artists such as Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Edward Burne-Jones, William Morris, René Magritte, Elsa Schiaparelli, Andy Warhol and Cindy Sherman. This show might be one of the funnest ways to look over aesthetic evolutions and design processes.
