# Pallas and the Centaur is completed as a Medici-neighbourhood mythological panel about 1482–83

Date: 1482

## The fact

Uffizi and Met Heilbrunn independently treat Pallas and the Centaur in Botticelli’s Medici mythological set.

It is one event.

## Context

Mythological panel for elite interiors is a knowledge-and-patronage path. Shared Medici household remains. Do not invent a unique Lorenzian programme memo.

[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.

Uffizi houses the panel; conventional dating neighbours Primavera. Political allegories of Medici order over chaos are modern readings, not tape. Later tickets are not the painting act.

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

Uffizi — Botticelli, Pallas and the Centaur and Met Heilbrunn — Botticelli independently describe this instrument.

Official or archival record: Uffizi — Botticelli, Pallas and the Centaur (https://www.uffizi.it/en/artworks/pallas-and-the-centaur; Gallerie degli Uffizi).

## Significance

Pallas and the Centaur is a knowledge-access path of high confidence on the work, medium on exact year.

## 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.

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. Split from Primavera. Museums are carriers. 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.
