‘A hiatus occurs in Florentine painting around 1465-75[ce].* All the older artists had died and the men who were to dominate the second half of the century were too young to have had prolonged contact with them. Three of these younger artists, Botticelli, Pollainolo, and Verrochio, began their careers as goldsmiths, which perhaps helped to determine the linear and movement-oriented direction Florentine painting was to take in the second half of the 15^th century.’**
