Set against the backdrop of Renaissance Florence, the story delves into the life of Sandro Botticelli, a gifted painter commissioned by the Medici to illustrate Dante's The Divine Comedy. This ambitious project aimed to bridge the realms of the sacred and secular through art, resulting in breathtaking yet unfinished drawings. As Botticelli faced a decline into poverty and obscurity, his remarkable illustrations faded from history for four centuries, highlighting the intersection of genius and misfortune in the artist's life.
