Biblioteca Medicea Laurenziana: "che la scala si facesse di legname"

Io avrei voluto una bella scalinata in legno di noce per raccordare il Vestibolo della Biblioteca Medicea Laurenziana al salone di lettura. È così che l’avevo pensata ed è così che l’avevo progettata ma non come fu realizzata. Il legno è un materiale caldo, accogliente e che invoglia al raccoglimento intimo. Così come i quadroni del soffitto e i banchi li avevo disegnati per essere intagliati…

went down a rabbit hole of this subject.

Filippo Lippi, painter and carmelitan friar, and Lucrezia Buti, a nun, meet and fall in love while she poses as model for an altarpiece. Classic.

Hello you seem to be the medici guy. May I ask for recommendations, books, ect, on how to get more into learning about them without it feeling utterly overwhelming? There’s so much and I have no idea where to start

you might have me confused with someone else, I'm a Sforza Family Enthusiast and Medici Hater

uhhhhhhh that said, I'd recommend picking one of the Big Two (Cosimo, Lorenzo), narrow it down by whatever subject interests you most (arts, banking, politics) and go forwards or backwards from there, probably

additionally, Mary Hollingsworth's The Medici as a general overview to the whole family, and The Medici Women (N. Tomas)

La Scultura del giorno: il Busto di Cosimo I del Cellini

La scultura del giorno che vi propongo oggi è il Busto in bronzo di Cosimo I de’ Medici realizzato da Benvenuto Cellini fra il 1545 e il 1548. L’arista si mise al lavoro sull’opera negli stessi anni in cui stava lavorando al celeberrimo Perseo. La sua fusione è documentata nell’anno 1546 mentre per attendere la completa nettatura si dovrà attendere il febbraio del 1547. Il 15 novembre del 1557…
