Shanghai exhibition features Botticelli masterworks

Each of the copies were made from more than 1,000 photographs of the original painting, with hand-drawn details to achieve maximum similarity with the artwork. "Never before have Uffizi Galleries allowed such high-definition copies made for these masterpieces, and we believe it is worth the high cost to have them made in Italy and shipped to Shanghai. They will be important supplements to the treasured exhibits from the Uffizi Galleries," Xie said.
