“Botticelli Reimagined” at the Victoria and Albert Museum, London is the largest Botticelli Exhibition in Britain since 1930 with over 50 original works, as well as including over 100 other master-pieces from artists such as René Magritte, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Cindy Sherman, Bill Viola and Andy Warhol. The exhibition tells the story of the rediscovery of Sandro Botticelli in the 19th century and the influence of his work on art, design and fashion up to the present day. The design by Duncan McCauley follows the curatorial approach of a reverse chronology, and creates specific atmospheres for three different spatial sequences. The visitors move from darkness to light, from the present into the past. Glimpses between the rooms and between specific artworks draw connections between original Botticelli paintings and the works they inspired. The narrative of the exhibition begins at the present, and then takes the visitor on a journey from the reception of Botticelli’s image of beauty and the influences of his work on twentieth century art, his rediscovery in the nineteenth century, and then finally to the central gallery space where the original works of Botticelli’s are displayed.
