Temptations of Christ, Sandro Botticelli Magnet
Sandro Botticelli(1445 – May 17, 1510) was an Italian painter of the Early Renaissance. He belonged to the Florentine School under the patronage of Lorenzo de' Medici, a movement that Giorgio Vasari would characterize less than a hundred years later in his Vita of Botticelli as a "golden age". Botticelli's posthumous reputation suffered until the late 19th century; since then, his work has been seen to represent the linear grace of Early Renaissance painting.
As well as the small number of mythological subjects which are his best known works today, he painted a wide range of religious subjects and also some portraits. He and his workshop were especially known for their Madonna and Childs, many in the round tondo shape. Botticelli's best-known works are The Birth of Venus and Primavera, both in the Uffizi in Florence. He lived all his life in the same neighbourhood of Florence, with probably his only significant time elsewhere the months he spent painting in Pisa in 1474 and the Sistine Chapel in Rome in 1481–82.
Only one of his paintings is dated, though others can be dated from other records with varying degrees of certainty, and the development of his style traced with confidence. He was an independent master for all the 1470s, growing in mastery and reputation, and the 1480s were his most successful decade, when all his large mythological paintings were done, and many of his best Madonnas. By the 1490s his style became more personal and to some extent mannered, and he could be seen as moving in a direction opposite to that of Leonardo da Vinci (seven years his junior) and a new generation of painters creating the High Renaissance style as Botticelli returned in some ways to the Gothic style.
He has been described as "an outsider in the mainstream of Italian painting", who had a limited interest in many of the developments most associated with Quattrocento painting, such as the realistic depiction of human anatomy, perspective, and landscape, and the use of direct borrowings from classical art. His training enabled him to represent all these aspects of painting, without adopting or contributing to their development. Quote:Wikipedia

My friend loves her daughter-in-law and I wanted her to have a magnet of the two of them together to put on her fridge. The picture was so clear and made so well. I'm sure they both loved it!

This is a very small refrigerator magnet (with artwork and text to be provided, and arranged using the ZAZZLE web site software, by the customer), and I would like to have a larger size. I ordered a quantity of eight refrigerator magnets. I think that they should have been individually packaged in order to prevent one item from scratching the other during transit. However, none of the items appeared upon arrival to have been scratched. The magnetic force is adequate to hold two sheets of good-quality bond paper securely against a refrigerator or metal filing cabinet, with one sheet in front of the other. I think that the durability of the refrigerator magnets is adequate—I have handled the magnets, and attached them to, and detached them from, a refrigerator while exercising reasonable care, and have encountered no failures. I see no evidence of demagnetization (i.e., loss of magnet strength). I am very pleased with these refrigerator magnets, as are the people to whom I have given them as small and inexpensive gifts. I recommend these refrigerator magnets, and would not hesitate to purchase them again in the future. One always feels very fortunate when one receives a purchased item, and finds it to be as good-looking as on the merchant’s web site. I was not disappointed in any way—I am delighted with the image and text resolution (sharpness and clarity) and the beauty and fidelity of the colors (hues and saturation). The refrigerator magnet is assembled from two parts: (1) The magnet, and (2) a relatively thin metal shell upon which the images and text are printed. The metal shell initially has a square shape, but then wedges of metal are cut away at each of the four corners, so that the shape of the metal shell then resembles a cross, with four short, stocky fingers. The images and text are then printed onto the metal shell with great clarity, because the entire metal shell is perfectly planar at this stage of the manufacturing process. Any portions of the images or text which happen to extend into the fingers will have the same clarity as at the middle of the cross. Then the fingers are folded around the magnet to complete the assembly of the refrigerator magnet. When I created my design, I crowded text very close to the upper and lower edges of the design boundaries, so that the text did indeed extend somewhat onto the fingers as the design was being printed, causing some portions of the text to wrap around the upper and lower edges of the completed refrigerator magnet when the final assembly was performed. This looks okay to me, because the text is still easily readable.
