Seit der Antike nutzten weltliche und kirchliche Herrscher, aber auch freie Bürger, Patrizier und Kaufleute oder die Angehörigen mächtiger Handwerkszünfte Schmuck als Statussymbol. Künstler hielten diese Juwelen in Porträts für die Nachwelt fest. Ob festliches Ornat, Berufskleidung, zeitgenössische Mode oder halbnackte Schönheit, Schmuck wurde stets effektvoll in Szene gesetzt, denn was wäre besser geeignet gewesen, um den Wohlstand des Abgebildeten zu unterstreichen? Gleichzeitig verriet die symbolische Bedeutung einzelner Schmuckstücke dem Betrachter etwas mehr über die Porträtierten.

Questo titolo è una guida alla vita e alle opere di Botticelli. Per lo più trascurate fino alla fine del XIX secolo, le sue opere magistrali 'La Nascita di Venere' e 'Primavera' sono tra le opere più conosciute dell'arte rinascimentale.
