Botticelli sworks in a chronological order, I feel that I have undertaken a somewhat venturesome task. All the more so as I have no fresh documentary evidence to bring forward in support of the order in which I have here placed them. Some system of classification was, however, indispensable ;and I have been induced to adopt a chronological system because it seems to me that a classification according to period (though in the case of this artists works it is beset with difficulties) is clearer and more critical than a classification according to subject The latter plan which has been followed by several of Botticelli sbiographers, who have dealt with his pictures under the headings of religious works, allegorical works, historical works, portraits, etc. is attended by serious disadvantages. It obliges the writer to treat of early works side by side with late ones; to overlook all the affinities of type, style, and feeling which link certain pictures together as productions of the same period ;and to relinquish the effort to reconstruct the artists life-work in the order of its natural development.
