Mientras tanto, en la vida de Sandro Botticelli
La vida entera1470
His own workshop
By 1469 Botticelli was already working on his own, in his own house. After Filippo Lippi died in Spoleto on 9 October 1469, he opened a workshop of his own in 1470, not far from the Church of All Saints.
1470
The nickname “Botticelli” becomes a name
The nickname Botticelli (“little barrel”) derives from that of Sandro's brother Giovanni; a document of 1470 already calls the painter “Sandro Mariano Botticelli”.
1472
The Compagnia di San Luca and his pupil Filippino Lippi
In 1472 Botticelli joined the Compagnia di San Luca, the Florentine painters' guild, and urged his fifteen-year-old friend Filippino Lippi, the son of his master, to do the same. His name first appears in the confraternity's Red Book, which records that Filippino was working for him as a pupil.
