Being Botticelli's Women
The women created by Sandro Botticelli live in environments in which many women would dream to reside. They are goddesses enthroned in laurel. They are nymphs dancing in orange groves perfumed by ripe fruit and the same tree’s fresh blossoms. Botticelli’s women are warriors, protectors, seducers, lovers and saints. They are soft, new and supple. They are erudite, elegant and mature.

Hey, i am wonder if you could please help me. i am writing about physiognomy of botticelli womens for my college work. let me know.
Renaissance art is not my main area of study. I know the history, but that’s as far as I go.
Much apologies and good luck on your paper.
However, I recommend that you consult with your adviser on whether you can talk to outside people beyond books and journals.
Best of luck,
Catherine
