This may also be an indication of the struggle within the artist. (Botticelli, Sandro: The Mystical Nativity)

The works of Botticelli were to become less fashionable and popular with the development of the Renaissance. He was to die virtually unknown in the art world. However in the 19th century Ruskin and the Pre-Raphaelites once again recognized his genius and his paintings again assumed a prominent position in the history of art. (Sandro Botticelli:Alessandro di Mariano Filipepi)
