Against the background of an age that saw the rebirth of ancient and classical learning Paul Strathern explores the intensely dramatic rise and fall of the Medici family in Florence, as well as the Italian Renaissance which they did so much to sponsor and encourage. Strathern also follows the lives of many of the great Renaissance artists with whom the Medici had dealings, including Leonardo, Michelangelo and Donatello; as well as scientists like Galileo and Pico della Mirandola; and the fortunes of those members of the Medici family who achieved success away from Florence, including the two Medici popes and Catherine de' Médicis, who became Queen of France and played a major role in that country through three turbulent reigns.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 236mmItem Length: 165mmItem Width: 41mmItem Weight: 623gAuthor: Paul StrathernGenre: HistoryTopic: BiographyRelease Year: 2016 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
