The exhibition explores the different ways in which Sandro Botticelli\u2019s work has been reinterpreted by artists and designers, through the display of 150 works of art from all over the world including Italy (in particular from the Uffizi Gallery), of which 54 works are by Botticelli himself. \u201cBotticelli Reimagined\u201d is one of the premier exhibitions on this year\u2019s calendar of cultural events in the UK.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Deputy Minister of Culture, Rt.

The mayor underlined the universality of the Renaissance values, perfectly embodied by Botticelli\u2019s work, and the Florentine artist\u2019s timeless message.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Orchard, 1890 by William Morris, John Henry Dearle, Morris &#038; Co.
