Botticelli and the Italian Renaissance
Did you miss the exhibition dedicated to Botticelli, "Artist and Designer", at the Jacquemart-André museum (until 24 January)? Don't panic, we'll help you catch up with our playlist dedicated to the great master and his works! Let's go for a little tour in Florence, in the heart of the Italian Renaissance!

The scene of the three wise men offering gifts to a newborn Jesus was widely painted during the Renaissance era, so how did painter Sandro Botticelli create a version that’s still well known today? James Earle describes who and what set Botticelli’s Adoration of the Magi apart in the annals of art history.
