His works are characterized by their exquisite beauty and attention to detail. One of his notable masterpieces is "The Cestello Annunciation" created in 1489.

Another remarkable artwork by Botticelli is "The Descent of the Holy Ghost, " painted between 1495 and 1505.

"Pallas and the Centaur, " created between 1480-1485, demonstrates Botticelli's ability to portray mythological subjects with grace and elegance. In "Virgin and Child with Two Angels" (1485/95), Botticelli presents a tender portrayal of motherly love as Mary cradles baby Jesus while two angels look on adoringly. Similarly, "Virgin and Child with an Angel" (1475/85) showcases his skill in capturing maternal affection through delicate brushwork.

Here, he portrays Mary surrounded by heavenly beings who pay homage to her divine role as a mother figure. His portrait titled "Portrait of a Youth" (c. 1482 / 1485) reveals his ability to capture individuality through meticulous details like facial expressions and clothing choices.
