'''Sandro Botticelli''' (c. 1445-1510, [[Italy]]) was an [[artist]] of the [[renaissance]] period. He is perhaps most famous today for his ''[[The Birth of Venus]]'' (ca. 1485–1486).
He was probably a pupil of [[Fra Fillipo Lippi]], and was influenced by followers of [[Paulo Polliauolo]], especially around 1470 when he painted ''Fortitude'', to complete a set of seven paintings themed on the seven virtues (the other six paintings were all by Polliauolo).
