Read the full account

Standard lives place Alessandro di Mariano Filipepi, called Botticelli, in Fra Filippo Lippi’s workshop in Florence in the 1460s. This Fact is that training instrument as received, not a unique daybook of tasks and not the later independent shop.

Context

Shared work with Lippi and unnamed journeymen remains.

Sandro Botticelli’s documented role is bounded by other offices and collaborators named in the sources below.

Vasari and later catalogues place him in Lippi’s shop in the 1460s. Lippi is the master; Botticelli is the pupil.

What the sources establish

Treccani and Britannica independently describe Lippi as his master in the 1460s.

Established: Lippi-shop training in the 1460s as received. Not established: a recovered indenture dated 1 January 1462.

Sandro Botticelli did not file a later UNESCO form, a later Loeb colophon, or a later museum label as a personal act. A pupil year is not Primavera. Keep Lippi distinct from the Medici panels.
