from the 29/ 9/ 2010 until the 1 / 6/ 2011 Treasure of the Medicis
The glory of the Lords of Florence in the 15th century
This exhibition invites one to enter into the very heart of the Medici palace in Florence, by recalling, among these very rarely masterpieces, a history of the Medici taste.
Wherever the Medicis were installed, they reigned more thanks to the splendor of their taste than through the power of their bank.
The Medicis invented modern Western art, by encouraging Fra Angelico, Botticelli, by conferring a nobility on Italian language literature, by supporting Michel-Angelo and Raphaël, by displaying Bronzino’s Florentine mannerism, by carrying the minor arts to their apotheosis, by creating the first operas in history with Peri’s and Caccini’s two “Eurydices”, as well as by underwriting Galileo’s astronomical discoveries.
