Italian artist, which appears second in four panels of his art work. This art makes available a visual life story of the Florentine bishop Saint Zenobius. Through the architectural locations of his art, it illustrates his life as the fifth-century bishop of Florence. The picture dates about 1500 (Crum et al, 2006). Literature states that while the artist was at work on the painting, Italy was at that current moment undergoing the second misery of the Apocalypse. The date of 1500 supports to recognize the second misery as a possible reference to the attack of the Italian peninsula by the king of French, Charles VIII, who Savonarola, the Ferrarese Dominican preacher, believed would act as the scourge of God. The three miracle art depicts the scenes from the life occurrences of the Florentine bishop, Saint Zenobius. The art stands as a sequence of paintings by the Italian Renaissance artist, Sandro Botticelli. Four boards from the sequence live on, which are currently in three diverse museums, each depicts three or extra occurrences from the life of Zenobius, an early Bishop of Florence who is assumed to have died in the year 1510 at the age of 65 (Bewer " Francesca, 2010) All the arts are in tempera on wood, and approximately 66 cm; 26 inches high. However, their length differs slightly more, from approximately 149 cm to 182 cm; 55 to 72 inches (Zöllner et al, 2009). The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York has a panel with additional three miracles. The Gemäldegalerie in Dresden has a panel displaying a miracle in three acts, and the demise of the saint. It is regularly decided that the images come from the last stage of Botticelli's vocation, possibly c. 1500–1505; some experts regard them as probably the artist's up-to-date remaining works. After The Metropolitan Museum of Art was established in 1870, it had no ownership of a single of artistic work. Over the ages, through the collective efforts and intelligence of generations investigators, collectors and patrons. The Metropolitan group has developed artistically, in nature, and in cultural terms to symbolize more than 5,000 years of art crosswise the world, since the first towns of the earliest world to arts being produced today (Vasari " Giorgio, 2011). The panels were probably commissioned by a spiritual organization in Florence to be set into wood paneling all over the place in a room, it was stated by C. F. von Rumohr, a German author, in 1827 that they originated from a Compagnia di San Zenobio attached to Florence Cathedral. But it is thought unlikely that they possessed any paintings. Dr. J. P. Richter, in his whole and commanding list of the Mond Collection, in remarking on the two of the sequences which form part of that collection, says, "Their size and character make it likely that they were designed to decorate some large piece of furniture destined to contain clerical vestments in the sacristy of some church connected with the cult of Saint Zenobius very likely in that of the Duomo itself or perhaps in a room in the neighboring arch- bishop's palace"( Sebregondi et al, 2011). The intention of these four panels was probably for the beautification of furniture. The reason why I liked this art of The Three Miracles of Saint Zenobius by Botticelli is that, I find in the images an echo of the tense and energetic line of the clear, clean color, and above all, of the feverish intensity of that masterpiece. But they are most commendably intended for the decorative result for which they were anticipated. There is a sharp plan to all the numbers and items, and the spaces so drawn are painted emphatically, making a variety of tones and colors, portraying a clear, rich influence, a procedure not related to that used in the making of early windows. A different individuality which these paintings share is much usage of the skill of the time; a custom from the Middle Ages is that they are considered mainly as a story, and there is certainly not effort in them to depict the events accurately in their proper environs, as would happen to a current painter. Furthermore, the gothic and early renaissance artist, not pleased with the sign of one occurrence, makes the story develop in his painting and shows a number of its activities contrary to a mutual background, often presenting, as in old plays and miracle dramas, an expressive object-a curtain (Bober et al, 2010). Otherwise, I find in the images an echo of the tense and energetic line of the clear, clean color, and above all, of the feverish intensity of that masterpiece. But, there are three disparate stories represented in the panel, one setting in three acts. Their location is an exposed space in a town, with palaces to the right and left and an opening between giving a preview of countryside and a garden fence.
