Renaissance, Florence, Medici, the artAbstract
The Medici family had a prominent and effective role in the Renaissance era, especially in Florence, which was the center of European Renaissance thought, especially in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, that is, at the height of the power of the Medici family, which in turn was keen to sponsor several cultural aspects, most notably art and artists, and to focus on the owners of The New Thought, that is, the creative people among them, were keen to have a personal relationship with them, and that family harnessed the intelligence of art to spread the ideas that it supports, including spreading classical thought by embodying those ideas artistically, as well as publishing and embodying some political ideas, the most important of which is the theory of absolute rule.
At the same time, the family possessed the resources and personal leadership of its leaders to be ranked among the first among European families in support of art and artists, although this trend brought upon them the lurk of the papacy, since most of those ideas that the family supported, sometimes openly and sometimes secretly, were forbidden and forbidden by them. The Church, especially with regard to classical and humanistic thought, but that did not prevent the family, which has major economic interests with the papacy, from continuing its support for those ideas, their art, and their artists.
