For my article on Francesco Botticini I plan to add many things to improve the article

1. An accurate and in depth description of his life, from childhood to adulthood. Including but not limited to travel, apprenticeships, and major commissions.

2. Relate the phases of his different work with the stages of his life

3. A description of his most famous works, along with pictures

4. His legacy among Renaissance Art and artists

5. His personal life and character aside from the art

6. A more in depth lead in paragraph

7. Structure within the different sections of the article

8. A lengthy bibliography with links for readers to find alternative information
