to Botticellian expression
"Botticelliana" is an invented adjective, so a similar invented adjective is required in English.
This, of course, is not enough; the translator has a lot more work to do to capture in English, and in metre, the full meaning of the piece.

and it is vital not to lose the resonance between the "-ian-" of "Botticelliana" and the "-ion-" of "espressione". My suggestion preserves it.
