:22:29. > :22:34.of the former president signals a new phase and increases the danger

:23:13. > :23:16.significant moment. When such a moment is involved in a criminal
:23:17. > :23:24.investigation it sends a message to the whole country, that nobody is
:23:25. > :23:28.above the law in Brazil. Today's development increases the pressure
:23:29. > :23:32.on the president Dilma Rousseff, already presiding over a failing
:23:33. > :23:35.economy, the fact that her predecessor, the symbol of her party
:23:36. > :23:36.was brought in by police today makes this a very dangerous moment for

:24:29. > :24:32.of its kind in the UK. But the exhibition
:24:33. > :24:33.comes with a twist. His masterpieces will
:24:34. > :24:35.appear alongside works of modern art, design, fashion
:24:36. > :24:37.and film, all inspired by him. Will Gompertz has
:24:38. > :24:39.been to take a look. The Birth of Venus, one of the most
:24:40. > :24:42.iconic images in art, instantly recognisable and much
:24:43. > :24:45.copied, by the likes of Andy Warhol, David LaChapelle, Dolce and Gabbana,
:24:46. > :24:47.and anyone fancying a go The only snag is that the original
:24:48. > :24:55.masterpiece by Botticelli It hasn't left Italy
:24:56. > :25:04.since the 1930s, when Mussolini sent it out on tour as part
:25:05. > :25:07.of a charm offensive. But the good news is that
:25:08. > :25:13.Venus has made the trip. It is thought that
:25:14. > :25:16.Botticelli painted these two near identical Venuses
:25:17. > :25:18.after his famous original It's also thought he had a little
:25:19. > :25:28.help from from friends. One of the problems with Botticelli
:25:29. > :25:32.is that he had a large workshop full of young artists who would paint
:25:33. > :25:34.paintings to his designs. Which begs the question, how can
:25:35. > :25:39.you tell which are by a master To answer that question I have
:25:40. > :25:43.tracked down the show's curator, This is one of the masterpieces
:25:44. > :25:47.of the exhibition. It's an absolutely beautiful
:25:48. > :25:49.painting by Botticelli The execution of the drapery,
:25:50. > :25:53.the landscape, of this still life here, everything is
:25:54. > :25:54.absolutely exquisite And this quality speaks
:25:55. > :26:04.for a Botticelli authenticity. These portraits are
:26:05. > :26:06.a highlight of the show. Seeing them makes the fact that
:26:07. > :26:10.Botticelli was largely forgotten for hundreds of years
:26:11. > :26:12.all the more baffling. He was, in part, rediscovered
:26:13. > :26:14.by the Victorians, most notably the Pre-Raphaelite
:26:15. > :26:17.brotherhood, artists such as Edward Burne-Jones, Dante Gabriel Rossetti
:26:18. > :26:20.and their friend William Morris. They admired the simplicity
:26:21. > :26:21.of Botticelli's line Rossetti even went as far as buying
:26:22. > :26:27.one of his paintings to which, it is said, he added
:26:28. > :26:29.a touch or two of his own. There are many works in this show
:26:30. > :26:32.echoing and emulating Botticelli but none really stand comparison
:26:33. > :26:36.with the paintings produced by this
