Italian/Northern Renaissance | | Medici Family | They dominated Florence during the 15th century and were interested in industry, trade, and banking. The first was Giovanni di Bicci de’Medici (1360-1429), and the most famous was Lorenzo the Magnificent (1449-1492), the great grandson of Giovanni. Medici power fell after Savonarola (1452-1498), a Franciscan friar, gained power, and therefore, Florence was never the same. | Humanism | England: * Started taking hold in early 15th century taught in schools in 16th century * Colet[1467-1519 (gave humanist lectures)] and More[1478-1535 (greatest humanist of England, Utopia (1516))]France: * French scholars studied in Italy became enthusiastic humanists * 15th century, Greek began to be studied * 1529, King Francis I (1515-1547) established College de France in Paris encouraged study of Hebrew, Greek, and LatinSpain: * Central figure of humanism was a churchman, Cardinal Francisco Ximenes de Cisneros (1436 – 15170 urged an improvement of education level in Spanish clergy, established University of Alcala, and made a multi-lingual (Hebrew, Greek, and Latin) BibleGermany: * Johann Reuchlin (1455-1522) visited Italy encouraged German curriculum to be extended to Hebrew and Greek languages and literature * Development of Christian humanism | Classicism/Antiquity | Term for a long period of cultural history in the Balkans from the earliest recorded poetry of Homer (8th – 7th century BC) to the emergence of Christianity and the fall of the Roman Empire (5th century AD).

    As Cosimo predicted, Piero died leaving Lorenzo, twenty at the time, to take control of the state. Lorenzo ruled “behind the scenes”, as he held no part in public office. Lorenzo kept up the reputation and standing of his family as he came to an agreement with Pope Sixtus IV so that the Medici could continue in taking care of the papal finances. Lorenzo also became the favorite of many in 1472 as he made it possible for grain to be imported, in order to avoid a famine. Unfortunately, Florence’s economy, along with the Medici’s private wealth, did not prosper under Lorenzo’s rule. This was believed to have happened due to the fact that Lorenzo was too caught up in matters of culture and diplomacy. During De’ Medici’s rule, he paid the likes of Botticelli, Ghirlandaio, and Filippo Lippi to paint the city in order to add beauty.…

    Florence has always been an admirer for the arts in various hues, solely due to the contributions of the Medici family in creating the grand palaces and funding monumental works of art.

    Medici would help the less fortunate in town like peasants because they had so little and if more people like you as a leader than you will be more successful in gaining respect which is important at this time (Cosimo de’ Medici, The Gale group). Much of his patronage was for churches and monasteries, and in 1436 he initiated the rebuilding of the Dominican monastery of San Marco, whose sole patron he remained until his death (Cosimo de’ Medici). His trade was the “deposit” of Florence. Which means that Medici was the center of trade and people would rely on him (Cosimo de’ Medici, The Gale group). Cosimo de Medici knew that good fortune would come to him if he did good deeds. This demonstrates that Cosimo de Medici knew how to navigate through the Renaissance and successfully become the ruler of Florence in 1434 to succeed in trading and the banking industry (Cosimo de’…

    The Medici’s were one of the most powerful and wealthiest family in Florence due to the Medici Bank. They would lend money to many people, such as foreign princes, The Church, and Florence itself. The leader at the height of their rule was Lorenzo de Medici. He came to power after his father died in 1464, and the people of Florence chose him to take over. They were not mistaken, as “Lorenzo brought traditions of learning and and artistic patronage to a new level.” (Walker) This ultimately gave him the title of Lorenzo il Magnifico which means Lorenzo the Magnificent. Although, tragedy struck in 1478, when a Florentine family, the Pazzi’s, entered a conspiracy with Pope Sixtus IV to overthrow the Medici family. On Easter Sunday of that year, at the Santa Maria del Fiore, the famous Duomo of Florence, the Pazzi struck, and the priest stabbed Lorenzo’s brother Giuliano and a member of the Pazzi Family finished the kill with 18 stabs with a dagger. Lorenzo would survive this, and the people of Florence, outraged, hung the conspirators. However, in 1482, Leonardo da Vinci was commissioned by Lorenzo to create a silver lyre and “[...] bring it as a peace gesture to Ludovico Sforza, who ruled Milan as its regent.” (Wilde)…
