In the autumn 2021, the Musée Jacquemart-André
will celebrate the creative genius of Sandro Botticelli (1445-1510) and the
activity of his workshop, by exhibiting around forty works by the master, along
with several paintings by his contemporaries, who were greatly influenced by
him. Botticelli was one of the greatest artists in Florence, and his career
attests to the economic development and profound changes that transformed the
rule of the Medicis.
Botticelli is undoubtedly one of the most
well-known Renaissance artists in Italy despite the fact that his life and the
activity in his wirkshop remain something of a mystery. He consistently
alternated between the production of one-off paintings and works issued in
series, completed by his assistants.
The exhibition will show Botticelli’s workshop
strategy, laboratory of ideas as well as a place of artistic training,
characteristic of the Italian Renaissance. It will present Botticelli in his
role as a creative artist and also as a entrepreneur and master (capobottega).
Arranged in a chronological and thematic order, the exhibition will illustrate Botticelli’s personal stylistic development, the connections between his work and his milieu, and his influence on his fellow artists.
The exhibition will presenting a selection of
masterpieces from prestigious institutions such as the Louvre, the National
Gallery in London, the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, the Vatican museums and
Vatican Library, the Uffizi, the Galleria Sabauda in Turin, the Galleria
dell’Accademia and the Bargello National Museum in Florence, the Gemäldegalerie
in Berlin, the Alte Pinakothek in Munich and the Städel Museum in Frankfurt.
