Relating to or characteristic of the style of Sandro Botticelli, the Italian Renaissance painter known for graceful, flowing forms and mythological themes.
Derived from Sandro Botticelli (1445-1510), an Italian Renaissance master, plus the suffix -ian meaning 'of or relating to.' The painter's name comes from his father's profession as a goldbeater (bottega means workshop in Italian).
Botticelli's paintings are so recognizable that art historians created an adjective just for his style—when you see those impossibly elegant, flowing lines and that ethereal quality, you're seeing something 'Botticellian,' and his influence shows up everywhere from fashion design to modern illustration.
