Botticelli — “the first exhibition ever to be devoted to the oeuvre of this great Italian Renaissance master in German-speaking lands” — will be at the Städel Museum in Frankfurt, Germany, through February 28.

Organized in three parts, it explores the painter’s various tasks and thematic fields. The portraits and allegorical paintings of the first section illustrate the degree of sophistication with which Botticelli drew on this highly developed genre and enriched it through new impulses. While the second chapter centers on his famous mythological representations of goddesses and heroines of virtue, the third part is dedicated to his abundant religious oeuvre.
