In one of the most characteristic paintings of the Renaissance a semi-naked woman appears, with a slender but generous body in curves; the woman tries to hide without much success and with some modesty her breasts, while her long blonde hair covers her groin and part of her thighs. To his right, two weightless characters, male and female, represent sensual love and ideal love. On the left, a nymph prepares a cloth to cover the woman's body, to remember the mysteries of knowledge and love, they must remain hidden.
That work is called The Birth of Venus, and is a painter that almost nobody knows by name. The artist was Alessandro di Mariano di Vanni Filipepi, and people told him Sandro to shorten the name of Alessandro, and he forgot the names of Mariano di Vanni Filipepi and they gave him a nickname: little botijo.
Boticelli is a container to store water. Yes, Sandro Botticelli, preponderant figure of the Renaissance, author of monumental carving in the history of painting, was disappearing on a day like today, May 17, 1510.
And from him we have his colors and his lights, and everything, everything immortal of his painting.
