Constance La France Poet Bio

Notes About The Poem

Bio- Sandro Botticelli- 1445-1510

Sandro
Mastering his skill of painting, diligent to detail, color, and Frescos (Sistine Chapel)
Born in Florence, Italy, apprenticed as a goldsmith, then later with a master painter 
By 1472, he had his own workshop where he created most of his works
Painting his Early Renaissance and Gothic Realism art plus doing church Frescos
He feared marriage saying it gave him nightmares, so he never married or had children
However he did love a married noblewoman and asked to be buried at her feet and was
In his later life, he was accused of "keeping a boy" but he was dismissed of charges
Yet he died in disgrace. His art remains in churches and galleries forever beloved
Botticelli

Charlie Smith April 3, 2016 at 2:03 PM Didn't know the lad. I've seen his work at the chapel. Must have thought I was just looking at Mikes brush work. I really enjoyed the bio B/W.
