Personality

What personality type is Sandro Botticelli? Sandro Botticelli is an ISFP personality type in MBTI, 4w3 - - 468 in Enneagram, RLOAI in Big 5, EIE in Socionics.

I started reading again about him after years (is thanks to Botticelli if at 15 I became interested with art history) and, according to various testimonies by people that actually knowed him, he was a very lively, humorous, bold and assertive man. Also Vasari, that was born a year after Sandro's death and heard more voices about the last phase of the painter's life, which was pretty depressing, than any other part, gives us back the description of a pleasant, spirited and outgoing man, with many trainees and visitors in his workshop. He appreciated luxury, great company and good food, as Poliziano (Detti PIacevoli) and Lorenzo de' Medici (Simposio/Beoni, if we want to consider that the "Botticello" named is him) said, I see him or as an ENFP or maybe a ISFP. Could be and ESFP, but I don't think much, considering how little he traveled.

Biography

Alessandro di Mariano di Vanni Filipepi (c. March 1, 1445 – May 17, 1510), known as Sandro Botticelli, 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. 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.
