桑德罗·波提切利（约1445-1510年）是意大利文艺复兴时期最受喜爱的艺术家之一，尤其以其画作《春》和《维纳斯的诞生》而闻名。然而，他作为绘图师的一面却鲜为人知。他的画作非凡出众，但由于其罕见性和非传统的风格，这一方面的成就并未得到广泛认可。

《波提切利素描集》是首部深入探讨波提切利这一艺术领域的专著。本书从美学、实践和方法论的角度，审视了绘图在波提切利创作生涯中的基础性作用——从他最早在大师弗拉·菲利波·利皮指导下完成的绘图，到他最后几幅画作中富有实验性和表现力的设计草图。此目录汇集了波提切利现存的大部分画作底稿，包括几幅新归属的作品，并在详细的条目中进行了讨论。书中的论文进一步阐述了艺术家绘图技艺的发展、他所处的更广泛的佛罗伦萨文化背景，以及通过对其一些最著名的画作底层绘图的新技术分析所揭示的设计实践。

本书聚焦于这位艺术大师鲜为人知和未被发掘的作品，是文艺复兴艺术领域的一座里程碑式出版物，将成为未来几年内的重要参考资料。

Sandro Botticelli (ca. 1445–1510) is one of the most beloved artists of the Italian Renaissance, especially known for his paintings La Primavera and The Birth of Venus. A lesser-known aspect of his career is his work as a draftsman. His drawings are extraordinary, yet their rarity and unconventional style have kept them from being more widely recognized.

Botticelli Drawings is the first major book to examine this aspect of Botticelli’s work. It considers the foundational role that drawings played in Botticelli’s oeuvre in terms of his aesthetic, practice, and process—from his earliest recorded drawings made under the master Fra Filippo Lippi to the experimental and expressive designs for his final paintings. This catalogue reunites the majority of Botticelli’s surviving sheets, including several new attributions, discussed in detailed object entries. Essays further highlight the development of the artist’s draftsmanship, the broader Florentine culture in which he worked, and his design practices as revealed in new technical analyses of the underdrawings of some of his most renowned paintings.

In its focus on little-known and unknown material by one of the best-known artists in the canon, this is a landmark publication in the field of Renaissance art that will be an important reference for years to come.
