Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Romance of Sandro Botticelli Woven From His Paintings
The scientific history of Botticelli has been com piled, once and for all, by Mr. Herbert Horne and, save for the doubtful suggestion, Too little mind ful of the outward forms and Observances of religion, too deeply enamoured of the old pagan world of the senses, Botticelli may well have been, during no small part of his life, little light has been thrown on Sandro's personality.
But here fiction may step in, and, by following the methods of the modern detective who reconstructs the scene of a crime, the writer may reconstruct the atmosphere in which Sandro moved and the persons who must have in?uenced him.
