Venus. "The Birth of Venus" is one of Botticelli's most famous paintings.
Why do very few of Botticelli's mythical paintings exist?
Before Botticelli's time paintings had religious subjects or were portraits. That is what people commissioned from artists. The interesting thing is NOT that there are FEW mythological paintings, but that there were some commissions for mythological subjects. And from then on those subjects grew more popular. It was not like today: an artist paints what he likes and tries to sell it. In renaissance times you went to an artist and asked him to paint what you want. Also, a radical monk named Savanarola burned 'earthly pleasures' including some of Botticelli's work. For more information on Savanarola's influence, I'd go to the link below.

Was Sandro Botticelli gay?
No, he never married, he even claimed that the prospect of marriage gave him nightmares! Some say that he fell in love with Simonetta Vespucci, the most beautiful woman in Florence in her days, who was loved and admired by all. She was married to a cousin of Amerigo Vespucci and was possibly the mistress of Giuliano de'Medici (brother of Lorenzo il Magnifico). She was dubbed 'Queen of Beauty' by all inhabitants of Florence, and tournaments were held in her honour. Sadly, she died in her early twenties of tuberculosis. It is said that Botticelli was in hopelessly in love with her, but she was out of his league. She certainly is depicted in many of his paintings, some made even decades after she died, and when Botticelli was dying himself, he asked to be buried at her feet, a wish that has been granted.
