"St. Sixtus II" (1481) is a painting by the Italian Renaissance master Sandro Botticelli. This artwork is a notable example of Botticelli's religious paintings, which were commissioned frequently during the height of his career. The painting depicts Pope Sixtus II, who served as the head of the Catholic Church from 257 to 258 AD and was martyred under the Roman Emperor Valerian. In Botticelli's portrayal, St. Sixtus II is often represented in pontifical garb, holding the papal tiara, and sometimes with the attributes of his martyrdom.

The painting is believed to have been created in 1481, a period during which Botticelli was deeply engaged with religious themes, influenced by the spiritual climate of Florence and the patronage of the Medici family. The work is characteristic of Botticelli's mature style, which is marked by graceful figures, a delicate use of color, and a harmonious composition that reflects the ideals of beauty and piety of the time.

"St. Sixtus II" is not only significant for its artistic merit but also for its historical and cultural context. The painting reflects the veneration of saints and martyrs in the Renaissance period, as well as the political and religious dynamics of the time. It serves as an example of how art was used to convey religious narratives and to inspire devotion among the faithful.

The current location of the painting is not specified in this introduction, as that information would require up-to-date verification. Art historians and critics have studied "St. Sixtus II" for its iconography and style, contributing to the broader understanding of Botticelli's oeuvre and the religious art of the Florentine Renaissance.
