Reviews
I recall studying art history in high school and being stunned at how gorgeous and moving art from the time of the renaissance was. Though I think Michelangelo and Leonardo are the most well known, it's a disservice for lovers of art to not get better acquainted with Botticelli. His art is beautifully expressive and his use of color combined with his unique interpretation of the human form is unforgettable. Delphi did a good job of putting this collection together, and think we're lucky in our day and age to have our own digital art museum for a few dollars.
