  • The Flowering of Florence: Botanical Art for the Medici" on View at the National Gallery of Art March 3 - May 27, 2002
    Office of Press and Public Information Fourth Street and Constitution Av enue NW Washington, DC Phone: 202-842-6353 Fax: 202-789-3044 www.nga.gov/press Release Date: February 26, 2002 Passion for Art and Science Merge in "The Flowering of Florence: Botanical Art for the Medici" on View at the National Gallery of Art March 3 - May 27, 2002 Washington, DC -- The Medici family's passion for the arts and fascination with the natural sciences, from the 15th century to the end of the dynasty in the 18th century, is beautifully illustrated in The Flowering of Florence: Botanical Art for the Medici, at the National Gallery of Art's East Building, March 3 through May 27, 2002. Sixty-eight exquisite examples of botanical art, many never before shown in the United States, include paintings, works on vellum and paper, pietre dure (mosaics of semiprecious stones), manuscripts, printed books, and sumptuous textiles. The exhibition focuses on the work of three remarkable artists in Florence who dedicated themselves to depicting nature--Jacopo Ligozzi (1547-1626), Giovanna Garzoni (1600-1670), and Bartolomeo Bimbi (1648-1729). "The masterly technique of these remarkable artists, combined with freshness and originality of style, has had a lasting influence on the art of naturalistic painting," said Earl A. Powell III, director, National Gallery of Art. "We are indebted to the institutions and collectors, most based in Italy, who generously lent works of art to the exhibition." The Exhibition Early Nature Studies: The exhibition begins with an introductory section on nature studies from the late 1400s and early 1500s.

  • A New Chronology of the Construction and Restoration of the Medici Guardaroba in the Palazzo Vecchio, Florence
    A NEW CHRONOLOGY OF THE CONSTRUCTION AND RESTORATION OF THE MEDICI GUARDAROBA IN THE PALAZZO VECCHIO, FLORENCE by Mark Rosen One of the most unusual projects overseen by Giorgio Vasari in the Palazzo Vecchio in Flor- ence, the Guardaroba is a trapezoidal room containing a late-sixteenth-century cycle of fi fty-three geographical maps of the earth affi xed in two tiers to the front of a series of wooden cabinets (fi g. 1). Vasari published a detailed program for the Guardaroba project in the second edition of “Le vite de’ piu eccellenti pittori scultori e architettori” in 15681, at a moment when the project, begun in 1563, was still in development. The program defi nes it as a complete cosmography of the known universe, with maps, globes, painted constellations, illustrations of fl ora and fauna, and portraits of great historical leaders. Rarities and artworks placed inside the cabinets would act together with this custom-designed imagery to refl ect back on the name and charismatic persona of Vasari’s patron, Cosimo I de’ Medici (1519–1574). The idea and program behind the Medici Guardaroba had roots in late medieval studioli — small, womb-like study spaces that valorized private contemplation and collecting through complex humanistic decoration. Yet the goal of this new space was to be a public theater for the court’s cosmography and its power to collect and sort the duchy’s fi nest objects. The incomplete status of the room today — which includes only a series of empty cabinets, a terrestrial globe (1564–1568) by the Dominican scientist Egnazio Danti, and a cycle of maps painted by Danti (between 1563 and 1575) and Stefano Buonsignori (from 1576 through c.

    Scuola elementare …………………………… Anno Scolastico ……………………………. Classe ……………………………………… Maestro/a ……………………………………. Alunno/a …………………………………….. ANDIAMO A PALAZZO MEDICI A VEDERE l’edificio più moderno del Rinascimento 1. La storia dell’edificio 2. La Cappella dei Magi 3. La Sala di Luca Giordano www.palazzomediciriccardi.it 1 1. La storia dell’edificio Il palazzo fu costruito come residenza di famiglia per volontà di Cosimo il Vecchio a partire dal 1444 ed era praticamente terminato nel 1462 (siamo nel Rinascimento o Umanesimo). Il progetto è di Michelozzo, che da Cosimo aveva avuto l’incarico di realizzare anche il convento domenicano di San Marco (quello del Beato Angelico e del Savonarola). Cosimo il Vecchio preferì il progetto di Michelozzo a quello del più noto Filippo Brunelleschi, perché l’autore della cupola gli aveva proposto un edificio troppo sontuoso. E i fiorentini avrebbero potuto vedere con invidia la costruzione di un palazzo privato così ricco! Stemma dei Medici Il palazzo è in una posizione strategica: ad un passo dal cuore religioso della città (la Piazza del Duomo con i suoi monumenti), vicino alle chiese di San Lorenzo e di San Marco, protette dalla famiglia dei Medici, e facilmente collegato attraverso Via Calzaioli a Palazzo Vecchio, il cuore politico. E’ il prototipo del palazzo fiorentino rinascimentale: è formato da un grande corpo quadrangolare a tre piani che si dispongono attorno ad un cortile porticato. 2 La facciata è in pietra forte (la stessa di Palazzo Vecchio), lavorata a bugni con rilievo diverso a seconda dei piani: più sporgenti e rustici i bugni del piano terreno, sempre più levigati a mano a mano che si sale.

  • Le Lunette Di Giusto Utens Alla Ricerca Di Un Luogo Ameno E Di Svago Per La
    Le lunette di Giusto Utens Alla ricerca di un luogo ameno e di svago per la corte, Ferdinando I de' Medici ordinò nel 1596 a Bernardo Buontalenti l'edificazione, nei pressi del Barco Reale, della villa di Artimino. La collocazione, un alto poggio dal quale l'imponente fabbrica domina il territorio circostante, fu scelta come metafora del fermo governo del Medici sul principato toscano e la residenza di caccia fu presto nota con l'epiteto di "La Ferdinanda" in onore del suo fondatore, il granduca. Come per il sito scelto, anche la decorazione interna vuole celebrare il potere mediceo. La monumentale architettura dei due saloni di rappresentanza fu infatti arricchita da affreschi e stucchi dorati secondo un elaborato programma iconografico, volto ad esaltare le virtù personali di Ferdinando I e di sua moglie Cristina di Lorena tanto quanto la magnificenza del loro regno. Nel cosiddetto Salone Grande, in particolare, le lunette di raccordo tra le pareti e la volta del soffitto diventarono il luogo ideale per celebrare i possedimenti del principato mediceo ed il controllo capillare del territorio operato dal granduca. E' qui che trovarono posto 17 tele raffiguranti le principali ville medicee, lunette che tra il 1599 ed il 1604 il pittore fiammingo Giusto Utens realizzò con minuzia di particolari utilizzando una prospettiva "a volo d'uccello". Le ville scelte sono Cafaggiolo, Il Trebbio, Pratolino, Marignolle, Lappeggi, Castello, La Petraia, il Belvedere con Palazzo Pitti, Poggio a Caiano, L'Ambrogiana, Montevettolini, La Magia, Colle Salvetti, Seravezza. Perdute sono invece le tele raffiguranti Careggi, Cerreto Guidi e Artimino. Le tele furono trasferite nel 2014 nella villa medicea della Petraia dove sono oggi esposte al pubblico, dopo essere state a lungo in deposito presso il Museo Storico Topografico "Firenze com'era".

  • Florence Celebrates the Uffizi the Medici Were Acquisitive, but the Last of the Line Was Generous
    ArtNews December 1982 Florence Celebrates The Uffizi The Medici were acquisitive, but the last of the line was generous. She left all the family’s treasures to the people of Florence. by Milton Gendel Whenever I vist The Uffizi Gallery, I start with Raphael’s classic portrait of Leo X and Two Cardinals, in which the artist shows his patron and friend as a princely pontiff at home in his study. The pope’s esthetic interests are indicated by the finely worked silver bell on the red-draped table and an illuminated Bible, which he has been studying with the aid of a gold-mounted lens. The brass ball finial on his chair alludes to the Medici armorial device, for Leo X was Giovanni de’ Medici, the second son of Lorenzo the Magnificent. Clutching the chair, as if affirming the reality of nepotism, is the pope’s cousin, Cardinal Luigi de’ Rossi. On the left is Cardinal Giulio de’ Medici, another cousin, whose look of reverie might be read, I imagine, as foreseeing his own disastrous reign as Pope Clement VII. That was five years in the future, of course, and could not have been anticipated by Raphael, but Leo had also made cardinals of his three nephews, so it wasn’t unlikely that another member of the family would be elected to the papacy. In fact, between 1513 and 1605, four Medici popes reigned in Rome. Leo X was a true Renaissance prince, whose civility and love of the arts impressed everyone - in the tradition of his father, Lorenzo the Magnificent.

Used by permission. © 2016 The Institute for Faith and Learning at Baylor University 69 Love in Control BY HEIDI J. HORNIK y the 1480s, Sandro Botticelli was one of the leading painters of the Renaissance and was working for the Medici family. Many works of Bthis period, often considered his masterpieces, use mythological sub- jects to blend contemporary historical references and moral instruction. Pallas and the Centaur, which is recorded in the 1498-1499 inventory as “Camilla and a Satyr,” originally was hung in the “old house” of the Medici family in a ground floor room alongside the chamber of Lorenzo, together with the Primavera.1 The old palace on Via Larga was owned by Lorenzo and Pierfrancesco de’ Medici, cousins of Lorenzo the Magnificent. The female figure with long blonde hair wears a wreath of olive branches with a diamond at the top. Her white, transparent gown is decorated with linked balls or circles, perhaps a symbol of the Medici family crest. She wears leather boots and bears defensive weapons—a diamond-crusted halberd (combined spear and battle axe) and a shield on her back.2 The centaur submits to her, despite his having a bow and quiver of arrows.
