trained in the studio of Filippo Lippi whose style informs his

This was commissioned to be one of a series of seven, the others having
been executed by Piero Pollaiuolo. A stylistic affinity here also with
Pollaiuolo is perhaps due to the patrons' requirements for unity within
the series (certainly it is never evident again). Many of Botticelli's

paintings are undated, but an Adoration of the Magi (Florence, Uffizi)
has been dated by modern scholarship to c1475. This is important
because it provides evidence of Botticelli having already secured the
patronage of the Medici whose portraits (according to Vasari) appear in
the picture. So well did this work establish Botticelli's reputation
that in 1481-82 he was commissioned to join Perugino, Ghirlandaio and
Rosselli (the most celebrated painters of the day) to paint frescoes
for the Sistine Chapel. | p*******f
