Renaissance artist Sandro Botticelli (1445-1510) is an icon and a true source of inspiration for many. The influence of his work can be seen in pieces from artists all around the world. From his works on the female figure, the famous Venus, and the Primavera, he has made his way into the painted and pictorial memory of humanity. Berlin film author and art historian Grit Lederer takes us along this journey as she traces the complex history of Botticelli. Lederer often visits the impressive collection of Botticelli's pieces in the Gemäldegalerie, and analyzes how his iconic works still influence art and advertising today. Experts explain the unique characteristics of his artistic style and find answers to why he was initially forgotten after his death. Botticelli’s artworks are responsible for inspiring many current-day contemporary artists, such as the French Orlan and the American Michael Joaquin Grey, who demonstrate how they are strongly motivated by Botticelli's art. The result is a film that traces Botticelli’s genius from Florence, Paris, New York, and all the way to Berlin.
