Thanks for posting. I admired great art many times at the Detroit Institute of Arts...right across the street from the Wayne St. University campus that I attended. It was my favorite place to go when I had long breaks between classes...or go there just to study in the magnificent rooms.
It is truly an experience. I highly recommend it to anyone near an art institute.
A Japanese writer, Yukio Yashiro, was a great scholar of Botticelli ( I think there was another great Japanese scholar of the artist, too):
