He was commissioned to.
Sandro Botticelli (1445-1510) was a famous painter whose most famous artwork includes:Mystical Nativity, an oil on canvas from 1500-1501 that shows an Adoration of Christ and may be seen at the National Gallery in London, andThe Birth of Venus, a tempera on panel circa 1485 that is in the Uffizi in Florence, Italy.
In Sandro Botticelli's "Adoration of the Magi," color plays a significant role, with vibrant hues that highlight the characters and create a sense of warmth and reverence. The composition is carefully organized, with the Magi arranged in a triangular format that draws the viewer’s eye to the central figure of the Christ child. Additionally, Botticelli employs intricate detail in the clothing and expressions of the figures, enhancing the narrative and emotional depth of the scene. The use of light and shadow further emphasizes the divine nature of the moment, creating a sense of ethereal beauty.
"Botticello" means "little barrel" in Italian. Alessandro di Mariano Filipepi(now known as Sandro Botticelli) modified his brother's nickname "Botticello"(presumably called that because he was big) to create the name he is known by today. So...Botticelli doesn't mean anything. It is derived from "Botticello", which means "little barrel"
It would be difficult to list all of the works attributed to Botticelli here, one of his most recognizable paintings is 'The Birth of Venus' circa 1482, approximately 5 feet 8 inches by 9 feet 1 inch. Between 1481 and 1483 Botticelli and several other famous artists were summoned to Rome to decorate the walls of the newly completed Sistine Chapel.
Michelangelo did not create the famous painting "The Last Supper," which is attributed to Leonardo da Vinci. Additionally, he was not responsible for other iconic works such as "The Birth of Venus" by Sandro Botticelli or "Mona Lisa," also by Da Vinci. While he was a master sculptor and painter, his contributions did not extend to every significant artwork of the Renaissance period.
"Birth of Venus is dependent on the delicacy of Botticelli's line. The proportions show their greatest exaggeration, yet the long neck and torrent of hair help to create the mystifying figure."
he died when he was 65, in 1510. at the time he was not as popular and struggling to keep up with with new emerging artists. He didn't create any paintings throughout the last years of his life. some say he died poor.others say he died rich with fulfillment. It's really impossible to know because he wasn't in the public eye. His popularity was very shaky. For more details, visit link below!
The Medici family was a prominent organization that often commissioned Florentine artists to create artwork during the Renaissance. Their patronage supported many renowned artists, including Sandro Botticelli, Michelangelo, and Leonardo da Vinci. The Medici's influence and financial backing played a crucial role in the flourishing of art and culture in Florence. Additionally, the Church and various guilds also commissioned works from local artists during this period.

Because even God can make mistakes. He doesn't, he created free will. People make their own choices, whether right or wrong. God didn't create temptation, Satan did.
