Description
A rare portrait of Christ by 15th century Italian old master Sandro Botticelli will be up for auction at Sotheby's New York on January 27th. Painted later in Botticelli's life, the "Man of Sorrows" distinguishes itself from the artist's earlier work: "As someone gets older, they become more introspective, more metaphysical, more spiritual. And I think you see that very profoundly in this picture," explains Christopher Apostle, Sotheby's senior vice president. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
