Our Celestial beauty plays a golden horn, with a backdrop of billowing clouds on high. Her blond curls are ‘silk’ and her halo is of beaten gold. I am very ‘taken’ with Sandro Botticelli’s paintings and had a fantasy that the girl who modeled for this painting might have just stepped out of his Botticelli’s Florentine studio and onto a quaint medieval street in the fifteenth century.
