Botticellis Muse
Botticellis Muse | Dorah Blume
2 posts | 6 to read
Botticellis Muse peels back layers of history to tell a fictionalized version of the life of Sandro Botticelli, his conflicts with the Medici family of Florence, and the woman at the heart of his paintings. In 1477, Botticelli is suddenly fired by his prestigious patron and friend Lorenzo de Medici. In the villa of his irritating new patron, the artists creative well runs dryuntil the day he sees Floriana, a Jewish weaver imprisoned in his sisters convent. But events threaten to keep his unlikely muse out of reach. So begins a tale of one of the art worlds most beloved paintings, La Primavera, as Sandro, a confirmed bachelor, and Floriana, a headstrong artist in her own right, enter into a turbulent relationship.

Vexingcircumstance I‘ve read the whole hitchhiker series. I‘ve always owned it as individual volumes though. I don‘t really like giant heavy books. They make my wrists angry and I can‘t carry them around with me. 6y
Erofan Yeah! Douglas Adams! 6y
