"SIMONETTA" by Sandra Kuck

Renaissance painter Sandro Botticelli's (The Birth of Venus) muse and model was a 19 year old girl called Simonetta Considered to be the most beautiful women of her day but unfortunately, , she was stricken by the plague and died at the age of 24. My depiction of “Simonetta”, is in a very emotional moment, modeled by my granddaughter and painted in 2025 inside a restored Renaissance Castle.
