Book Description
The art world is filled with the presence of the Virgin Mary – a fundamental symbol of motherhood, who has been radiating youthfulness, tenderness, and compassion for two thousand years. Finding in her an inexhaustible source of inspiration, artists have consistently used the image of the Virgin Mary to reflect our own sufferings and joys. The author Kyra Belán leads us on a comprehensive tour analysing the profound meaning to be found in the images of the Virgin – from personal interpretations to spiritual reflections on a universal level. These works of art present a fascinating visual commentary on the evolution of Western art as well as a striking record of the rise in status of women in society. With more than 200 illustrations, two thousand years of human history are expressed in a single image; that of the Blessed Virgin, Mother of Christ.

Book Description
Sullo scenario di una Firenze mercantile e umanista, raffinata e ricca, dominata dalla personalità di Lorenzo il Magnifico si profila la vicenda artistica di Botticelli (1445 - 1510), che in questo contesto crea composizioni religiose e allegorie mitologiche, rebus figurativi e profane icone del Rinascimento. L'esordio da orafo e l'apprendistato presso Filippo Lippi rappresentano le prime tappe del suo percorso, determinanti per la comprensione del suo più maturo linguaggio pittorico. Le fattezze dei personaggi rievocano l'atmosfera della corte medicea, mentre le immagini sacre rispondono alle esigenze di una devozione privata e colta e, negli ultimi capolavori, le crescenti inquietudini religiose postsavonaroliane.
