THIS IS A DOWNLOADABLE E-BOOK. In the lives of Botticelli and Rembrandt there is a close similarity. In temperament as well as in experience they seem to parallel each other. In boyhood Botticelli and Rembrandt were dull, perverse, wilful. Both were given up by teachers and parents as hopelessly handicapped by stupidity. Botticelli's father, seeing that the boy made no progress at school, apprenticed him to a metalworker. The lad showed the esteem in which he held his parent by dropping the family name of Filipepi and assuming the name of Botticelli, the name of his employer.Hubbard, Elbert is the author of 'Little Journeys to the Homes of Eminent Artists', published 2004 under ISBN 9781419230769 and ISBN 141923076X.
