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.

Why do Botticelli's women have big stomachs?
== ==Answer Botticelli expressed the romanesque figure. That period of time found women with child-bearing hips and alittle meat on their bones, attractive. This was a more realistic look at the human form than it is now.Rubens did the same and it was known as a Rubenesque figure. Another view: Romanesque is a little early for Botticelli. Romanesque is 10-12th centuries, Botticelli is 15th century. !5th century fashion made women wear dresses + extra material to make the stomach protrude. Rubens' 17th century ideal was overall plumpness.
