Botticelli – Florence & The Medici @ The Ridgefield Playhouse: This latest Great Art on Film Series at The Ridgefield Playhouse follows Florence in the era of the powerhouse Italian statesman, Lorenzo de’ Medici, and Sandro Botticelli (1445-1510) who together represented the heart of Renaissance art and culture.

The film relives Florence and all its art workshops through Botticelli’s life and collaborations. From the outset of his career under the wing of the Medici family, Botticelli established himself as the inventor of an ideal beauty, seen in works such as The Allegory of Spring and the Birth of Venus. The death of Lorenzo de Medici marked the downward spiral of the Florentine master, who was destined to be forgotten for over three centuries, but the rediscovery of Botticelli by the Pre-Raphaelites re-ignited a genuine fascination with the artist and sparked a Botticelli-mania which continues to this day.
