Botticini, Francesco

    0.02 sec.

Botticini, Francesco (1446–1497)

Italian painter and artisan. A number of works imitating Florentine contemporaries, including Sandro Botticelli, have been attributed to him. His best-known work is the Assumption of the Virgin (c. 1474, National Gallery, London).

His Assumption of the Virgin illustrates the heretical view expressed in a poem by the donor, Matteo Palmieri, that human souls are the angels who remained neutral when Lucifer fell, a number of saints (having merited salvation) being represented as returned to angelic status.
