Colombian artist Fernando Botero, who died in September, was known for his plump, colorful and playful portraits of all levels of society - from a Colombian seamstress to crime boss Pablo Escobar to the pope. His ashes will be buried in Italy, but before that his remains made a stop in his native city of Medellin. For VOA, Austin Landis reports from Medellin.
