The world-famous Uffizi gallery in Florence, Italy, has unveiled two newly restored 15th-Century masterpieces by Botticelli, his “Annunciation” and “The Birth of Venus.” The two paintings, which go on public display this week, were restored over 11 months with the aid of ultraviolet and X-ray photography and chemical analyses.
