Synopsis:

Sandro Botticelli, born in 1445, is one of the most important artists of the Renaissance. With his female figures, the famous Venus or Primavera, he painted himself into the visual memory of humanity. The documentary sheds light for the first time on the life of the Florentine artist, who has inspired contemporary art like no other painter and is omnipresent in fashion, advertising and lifestyle. The art historian and filmmaker Grit Lederer traced the Botticelli phenomenon in Florence and Paris, New York and Berlin. What is the secret of his paintings? Why was he forgotten for centuries soon after his death? Why did Benito Mussolini send Botticelli's works to New York at the beginning of the Second World War? Why are Botticelli's frivolous drawings so rarely seen? How did Botticelli actually live? And: What does Lady Gaga have in common with Botticelli's Venus?
