Sandro Botticelli (c. 1445-1510), c. 1492/95 (when Sandro Botticelli was around 50 years old) (detail from: The Adoration of the Magi, made by Sandro Botticelli and his workshop)

This painting was not made in 1475, as the art historians claim. All the depicted Medici are easily to identify.

Sandro Botticelli (second from the right) with his five most important assistants and co-workers around 1492/95 (when this altarpiece was made) (detail)
Sandro Botticelli lent his facial features to Saint Barnabas. (Detail from the St. Barnabas altarpiece)
Sandro Botticelli lent his facial features to Saint John the Evangelist.

Since Sandro Botticelli was, when this Bardi-altarpiece was made, already a man over 50 years of age, Saint John the Evangelist was not depicted, as is usual for him, as a young man.
