Around 1470 -1492 · altar, corporation and city
San Marco, San Barnaba, Saint Ambrose and Trebbio show how Botticelli organizes the Virgin, saints, angels and predella episodes for specific places and communities.
Botticelli's altarpieces belong to the public and devotional space of Florence as much as to his personal work. The Altarpiece of Saint Ambrose, one of his first large ensembles, brings together the Virgin and Child with several saints in an architecture that transforms their views into sacred conversation. The Altarpiece of San Barnaba gives the Marian throne a vertical monumentality; angels holding the instruments of the Passion and saints arranged on both sides connect incarnation and sacrifice. At the Altarpiece of San Marco, commissioned for the altar of the corporation of goldsmiths, Botticelli combines Coronation of the Virgin, dance of angels and vast celestial assembly above the saints terrestrial. The predella panels complemented these images with small stories readable near the altar. The Trebbio Altarpiece offers another scale of control and recalls the importance of workshop variants. Each set responds to a site, a pattern and a practice. The "Altarpieces by Sandro Botticelli" selection notably compares Altarpiece by Saint-Ambroise and Altarpiece by San Barnaba. His reading favors drawing.
An altarpiece is not an enlarged Madonna: it is an architecture of images where sky, saints, corporation and altar must work together.
