The life of Sandro Botticelli coincided with the close of the 15th century and the beginning of the 16th, a period that saw transition from the rule of the Medici, whose name is synonymous with patronage of the arts, to the fanatical reforms of the Dominican Savonarola. A focussed exhibition of major paintings from all decades of Botticelli's career, along with works by his followers and contemporaries, enabled three experts to explore the relationship between his distinct yet changing visual "voice" and the turbulent Florence society of his day.

Aiming to bring an understanding of the contexts of treasures of the past closer to contemporary concerns, three experts discuss Titian's Europa and Rubens's Thomas Howard, Earl of Arundel, as well as Rubens's Rape of Europa from the Prado Museum and Titian's Francesco Maria della Rovere from the Uffizi. By exploring the dynamic relationship between art and power and how both artists manipulated their style to express the political power of their clients - no less a relevant issue today - an important era comes to life for today's readers.
