Dresden's Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister holds 2 works by Sandro Botticelli (1445–1510) — the city's entire known holding of this artist in a single institution.
Botticelli's great mythological paintings are among the most reproduced in art history, which makes standing in front of the originals in Florence a genuinely surprising experience. The surface is delicate and linear, the colour pale and luminous, the figures simultaneously otherworldly and physically present.
