Botticelli is one of the most beloved figures of the Renaissance period and his seductive Venus and graceful Primavera are among the world's most recognizable works of art. Now available in an attractive and accessibly priced hardcover edition, this catalogue raisonn of Botticelli's paintings offers meticulous scholarship by the distinguished Renaissance art historian Frank Zllner and more than two hundred full-color illustrations. As The Financial Times praised the previous edition of the book, "Zllner is a fabulous, accessible scholar; his book has luscious reproductions and exquisite detail."
