Sandro Botticelli and Simonetta Vespucci: In Renaissance Florence, Italy Details

Simonetta Vespucci and Sandro Botticelli depend upon one another for their fame in many respects. Simonetta might have been a footnote in the history of the Medici family had it not been for Botticelli's The Birth of Venus and other paintings. Similarly if not for Simonetta Botticelli would likely have been a lesser known artist of the late 15th and early 16th centuries. Simonetta married a lesser known member of the respected Vespucci family and came to Florence from Genoa at the age of sixteen. By the time of her death at 22 she was a revered beauty who was adored in Renaissance Florence. My book considers her life as well as that of Botticelli, and his Medici patrons. The true events of Simonetta Vespucci's story have been obscured by centuries of inaccurate romantic literature.
