Botticelli painted mythological subjects more often than religious ones, which were mostly commissioned by the Medici family.

Sandro Botticelli is often associated with the burning of his paintings due to the influence of the Dominican friar Girolamo Savonarola in Florence during the late 15th century. Savonarola preached against secular art and pleasures, leading to the infamous "Bonfire of the Vanities" in 1497, where many artworks, books, and luxury items were destroyed. It is believed that Botticelli, who had created works with mythological themes, felt a moral conflict and may have destroyed some of his own paintings in response to Savonarola's teachings. However, there is no definitive evidence that he personally burned his artworks.
