# Botticelli dies in Florence on 17 May 1510 as the received end date

Date: 1510

## The fact

Treccani and Britannica independently record Botticelli’s death in May 1510.

It is one event.

## Context

Death ends agency. Late financial distress claims stay medium-confidence allegation where not documented as ledgers here.

[Sandro Botticelli](/people/sandro-botticelli)’s documented role is bounded by other offices and collaborators named in the sources below. Sharing a field with them is not a reason to drop a documented act, and it is not a reason to assign later consequences done in the name after death.

Treccani/Britannica: death 1510 in Florence. Vasari’s poverty narrative is partly coloured; workshop continuity to the end is also argued by modern scholars.

Named person as heading of the dated public instrument. Later editors, museums, printers, or offices share publication. Complex where later carriers are the surviving public file.

## Evidence and sources

Treccani — Alessandro Filipepi detto Botticelli and Britannica — Sandro Botticelli independently describe this instrument.

Official or archival record: Treccani — Alessandro Filipepi detto Botticelli (https://www.treccani.it/enciclopedia/alessandro-filipepi-detto-botticelli/; Istituto della Enciclopedia Italiana).

## Significance

Death 1510 is an outcome path of high confidence on the year in the standard file.

## What is established and what is not

Established as a sourced public record of this instrument at the date assigned here.

What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions.

The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit.

Established here: a sourced, dated public instrument with a named contribution by Sandro Botticelli.

They are not a public rating.

The driver `health-system-capacity` is attached because the mechanism named in Significance follows from this instrument, not because a standing list of welfare headings needed another tick. Sandro Botticelli did not file a later UNESCO form, a later Loeb colophon, or a later museum label as a personal act. A portrait or conventional bust is not this mechanism. Allegation, reconstruction, and established occurrence stay distinct. No museum founding as his act. Do not invent cause of death. Keep the carrier date of later English distinct from the received historical year stored in the date field. Do not read a later English edition as a recovered autograph of Sandro Botticelli.
