Medici: The Art of Power

Medici: The Art of Power

Dr. Rocky Ruggiero examines the rise to power and legacy of the most famous family of the Renaissance. Not only were the Medici bankers to some of Europe’s most important rulers, but also great patrons of the arts. Artists such as Donatello, Brunelleschi, Botticelli and Michelangelo all developed under and enjoyed Medici largesse.
