His father was a tanner. He was first apprenticed to a goldsmith after he finished school, but Sandro preferred painting so his dad instead apprenticed him to a master painter, Filippo Lippi. Lippi taught him many techniques such as panel painting (painting on flat pieces of wood or metal), fresco painting (painting on walls), and perspective. Under Lippi, he painted frescoes in the Prato Cathedral.

The expressions on the subject of the painting often had a contemplative look to them. He often used softer colors for the background while using stronger colors for the subjects of the art. He also specialized in portraits and converting written descriptions into paintings.

By 1470, he was an established master who had his own workshop. By 1478 he entered his artistic prime. Some of his most famous works are The Birth of Venus and Primavera. He was also summoned by the pope at the time along with some other master painters to work on the Sistine Chapel. He turned in three paintings: Events of the Life of Moses, The Temptation of Christ, and The Punishment of Korah.

He specialized in portraits. It was most likely because of this that the Medicis decided to sponsor him. The subjects of some of his secular works were of some of the Medici family members such as a portrait of Giuliano de’ Medici, the brother of the ruling Medici of the time, Lorenzo de’ Medici. Botticelli also painted the grandfather of Lorenzo and also his father. He also included all four of them in Adoration of the Magi.

Towards the end of his career, his painting took on a religious theme. Some examples are St. Augustine in his Cell, Agony in the Garden, and Last Communion of St. Jerome. He died in Florence on May 17, 1510.
