The Medici V1 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162791852)

The Medici V1 is a historical book written by Colonel G. F. Young. The book is about the powerful and influential Medici family of Florence, Italy, who were prominent during the Renaissance period. The book covers the history of the Medici family, including their rise to power, their political and cultural influence, and their impact on the development of art and architecture during the Renaissance. The book also explores the personal lives of the Medici family members, including their relationships, marriages, and scandals. The Medici V1 is a comprehensive and detailed account of the Medici family and their legacy, and is an essential read for anyone interested in the history of Renaissance Italy.1930. Volume 1 of 2. The history of the Medici is a deeply interesting story; while, besides its intrinsic interest, it helps us to acquire much knowledge about the rebirth of Learning and Art, about the history of Europe in perhaps its most important period, about the birth of Science, and about the great collections of Art possessed by Florence. For without referring largely to all these subjects no true picture of the Medici can be given. My aim has been to write of them as a family-their rise, their course upon the mountain tops of power, and their decline and end-and to keep the parts always in subordination to the whole.
