Download or read book Lorenzo De Medici and the Art of Magnificence written by F. W. Kent and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Historian F.W. Kent offers a new look at Lorenzo's relationship to the arts, aesthetics, collecting, and building - especially in the context of his role as the political boss (maestro della bottega) of republican Florence and a leading player in Renaissance Italian diplomacy. Kent's approach reveals Lorenzo's activities as an art patron as far more extensive and creative than previously thought. Known as "the Magnificent," Lorenzo was broadly interested in the arts and supported efforts to beautify Florence and the many Medici lands and palaces. His expertise was well regarded by guildsmen and artists, who often turned to him for advice as well as for patronage.
Download or read book Lorenzo the Magnificent written by Maurice Rowdon and published by . This book was released on 1974 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lorenzo de' Medici was twenty-one when he took over the government of Florence in 1469. By the age of sixteen he was already an able diplomat, following the example and training of his father and grandfather, and as head of the Medici family, he became a first-class party chief as well as the most princely patron of art and thought in Christendom. Although he had virtually no physical charm, he had immense influence over people, and at the crisis of his career he saved both the Florentine state and himself by a master-stroke of personal diplomacy. He survived an assassination attempt in which his brother died, only to grow old with gout before he was thirty-eight and be crippled by the time of his death, five years later. The grief of the people of Florence was almost hysterical when the news was broken to them; to them, as to us, Lorenzo was a figure not easily matched, let alone surpassed. The author, Maurice Rowdon, looks anew at Lorenzo the man and places him in the Italy and Europe of his day. - Jacket flap.

Download or read book The Medici Women written by Natalie R. Tomas and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Medici Women is a study of the women of the famous Medici family of republican Florence in the fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries. Natalie Tomas here examines critically the changing contribution of the women in the Medici family to the eventual success of the Medici regime and their exercise of power within it; and contributes to our historical understanding of how women were able to wield power in late medieval and early modern Italy and Europe. Tomas takes a feminist approach that examines the experience of the Medici women within a critical framework of gender analysis, rather than biography. Keeping the historiography to a minimum and explaining all unfamiliar Italian terms, Tomas makes her narrative clear and accessible to non-specialists; thus The Medici Women appeals to scholars of women's studies across disciplines and geographical boundaries.
