From Salvador Dalí to Andy Warhol, from David LaChapelle to Jeff Koons and Lady Gaga, no one seems to be immune to the eternal fascination for Botticelli and his works. A journey through the Master's art on display in the open-air museum that is Florence: an unprecedented itinerary to discover the artist who invented a new model of beauty, overcoming the barrier of centuries to inspire contemporary art. Dreamlike recreations, captivating images of the city and footage of astonishing works of art are interwoven with the voices of art scholars from around the world who narrate the splendour and contradictions of Lorenzo de Medici's Florence. Botticelli claimed to be the inventor of the ideal Beauty, which found its ultimate expression in works such as The Allegory of Spring and The Birth of Venus.
