Botticelli. The magic of Tondo's portrait

Tondo is a piece of painting inscribed in a circle or oval. Renaissance artists borrowed this format from ancient art, and gave it priority importance. Especially if they were going to create inspired images of the Madonna Mary, Christ, holy martyrs. Tondo "refers" us to the idea of ​​the infinite sublime contemplation of the Ideal. The exquisite master of the Early Renaissance, Sandro Botticelli, very subtly felt the symbolic significance of the tondo format and achieved a special - divine expressiveness in such a style! Let's talk with art critic Vladimir Ostrovsky about the master, without whom no story about the Renaissance is possible.
