The following link explains Savanarola's impact on the lives on many, by destroying what he viewed as 'earthly pleasures' and burned them in 'bonfires of the vanities'. His impact was great on Renaissance art. For more information,, I would check out the website.

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.
Who were Botticelli's patrons?
For the most part, the Medicis and Vespuccis commissioned the works that we have today, but there were likely many others that were burned by Savanarola. If you want more information on this: see link below!
How many paintings did Botticelli create?
There are 41 in existence(that are known about) today, but many were probably destroyed in the bonfires of Savanarola. To see a list(and Pictures) of the paintings, go to link below! For more information on the bonfires, go to link below!
What were some of Sandro Botticelli's impacts?
By painting mythological subjects, instead of only religious ones. He did not do this on his own accord, though. Those paintings were commissioned by the Medici family and others. By blending the two different philosophies, he created a new concept(Neoplatonism), which became the central focus of many paintings. More information on Neoplatonism can be found at: link below.
What was Michelangelo's four brothers names?
Lionardo, Buonarroto, Giovansimone and Gismondo were Michelangelo's 4 brothers he was the 2nd oldest out of the 4 of them. He lived with his 4 brothers and his father and Mother until he was six then unfortunately his mother passed away. From the age of 13 Michelangelo discovered that he was amazing at art, his father strongly disagreed. His father tried everything to stop him becoming and artist but Michelangelo's dream went on. When Michelangelo was 17 the pope became his patron, a patron is someone who gives you money to do your art, because in those days artist did not earn a lot of money. Michelangelo panted and created many pieces of art two very famous ones are the David a sculptured piece of work and the other was the ceiling of the Sistine chapel, he spent 4 years painting that. Michelangelo is an excellent artist who is very popular in Italy therefore the only pieces of his work in Britain is two unfinished paintings that are available to see in the national gallery. ratz stew

Who was the king and queen of Italy during the renaissance?
The King of Italy from 1900-1945, during both world wars, was Victor Emmanuel III. The King appointed the Prime Minister, who was the head of the government. Antonio Salandra was Prime Minister from early 1914, just before the war, until June 18,1916. Paolo Boselli then served until October 29, 1917, when he was replaced by Vittorio Emanuele Orlando, who finished out the war and represented Italy at the Versailles Conference.
What kind of painter was Botticelli?
That's a very complex question. To put it simply, Botticelli was a painter of the Early Renaissance, which was a major change from purely religious art. Religious work still continued, but other subjects(i.e. Mythology) came in as well. Some art critics and experts believe Botticelli combined aspects of Christianity with mythology(which is called Neoplatonism). Despite this attempt, many religiously devout were not okay with the incorporation of mythology into art, especially radicals like Savanarola(who burned earthly pleasures, or 'vanities'). My source, and a great source for finding pretty much all you need to know on Botticelli(it's all one website, but I gave you the subpages that I think will be the most useful for you): included in 'related links'

Why is Martin Luther communicated and declared a heretic?
For his 95 Thesis and for exposing the corruption and debauchery of the Roman Catholic Church. Others before him, Friar Savanarola for example, tried the same thing, but it was the invention of the printing press that helped Martin Luther communicate his message. The Church saw him as a great threat but didn't want to martyr him in fear of him being further and more passionately exalted by his followers, so they did what everybody in power does when they fear something or someone... they make it disappear whilst knowing the damage to their image and reputation had already been done. The irony is that Martin Luther was more Christian than the Pope, Luther also had a burning caustic wit as evident in his writings and his rhetoric is still studied today by people who wish to learn how to write and speak effectively.. As with most "heretics" he was a free thinker during a time when it was forbidden to do so.
What did Botticelli focus on?
To understand Botticelli, you need to first understand that in the Renaissance, the subject matter of paintings wasn't truly the artists' decision to make. While the artists were able to include hidden messages, and put their own spin on things, the topics of the paintings were chosen by patrons (those who commissioned the work). Botticelli focused on religious themes during the beginning of his career, as that was what people wanted. But as the Renaissance began to focus more on the humanities (studies of Greek and Roman literature), patrons started wanting to reflect mythology in the artwork placed in their homes. As this shift began to occur, Botticelli began painting mythological stories. But keep in mind, this was because it was what he was paid to do. He did not choose to make this change. Later, when Savanarola (a radical monk) came into popularity, mythological works were condemned. There was really no point in spending time painting mythological paintings if Savanarola was inevitably going to burn them. So, Botticelli began to focus more on religion. But I must stress that throughout his career, he did not focus on just one topic. He focused on religion and mythology-two completely different topics. But in most studies of Botticelli, emphasis is put on his Mythological Works. These works can also be said to include religious themes(Neoplatonism is the school of thought that combines humanism and religion to make them more compatible). So, if you really wanted to choose one theme that Botticelli focused on for his whole life, you could use religion, and emphasize that even though mythological works, However "the fact that he used false gods in his work did not mean he turned his back on his religion. Instead, he took mythological ideas and combined them with his faith. In a time of division between religious and humanistic values among patrons and religious leaders, Botticelli's works combined both themes in a style known as Neoplatonism, encompassing the overall idea of the Renaissance"(Bridget Mayo 1). The above quote is from my research paper that I worked on for almost a year
Does Ezio from Assasin's Creed II have a girlfriend?
He's had relationships with several women such as Caterina Sforza and Rosa the thief, but he does not have a girlfriend. The closest thing to a girlfriend he's had is Christina Vespucci, the woman Ezio sleeps with near the very start of the game. He sees her several times over the years: after his family's execution, after his two years' training in Monteriggioni, where she reveals that she is engaged, in Venice during Carnevale where she screams that she loved him and does not care that Manfredo loves her, and in an undisclosed location that is thought to be Rome, where she (and possibly Manfredo) are killed by Savanarola's men. They share a final kiss before Christina dies. Afterwards, Ezio becomes more reserved and less of a womaniser.
Is Ezio Auditore real?
No. Though many fans are convinced that Ezio Auditore was a real man because so many of his supporters throughout the games were real (Niccolo Machiavelli, Caterina Sforza, Leonardo da Vinci, etc), I assure you that Ezio was entirely fake. And although the town of Monterigionni does exist, the Auditore Villa does not.
