What to look for

Sandro Botticelli: graceful, flowing outlines, slender figures with pale, wistful faces, windblown hair and drapery, and a decorative, almost weightless feel.

Alessandro di Mariano di Vanni Filipepi (c. 1445 – May 17, 1510), better known as Sandro Botticelli or simply Botticelli, was an Italian painter of the Early Renaissance. Botticelli's posthumous reputation suffered until the late 19th century, when he was rediscovered by the Pre-Raphaelites who stimulated a reappraisal of his work. Wikipedia
