Catherine de´ Medici
Catherine de´ Medici (1519-1589) married Henry (1519 -1559), who later became king of France as: Henry II. He died after an accident and Catherine ruled France for a long time. She built Tuilerierna, the famous palace wich has been a home for so many french kings. The "St. Bartholomews´s Day massacre" in 1572 however showed a dark side of her personality and she became hated of protestants over whole Europe. This was a time when it was very tense between protestants and catholics and war break out frequently. Pic on her son Frans, who later became king of France as: Frans II. Pics also on later kings as Henry IV and Louis XIV - who built Versailles (pics on the vast palace). Wonderful music by the swedish composer: Willhelm Petterson-Berger, "Jungfrun under lind" ("The maiden under the linden tree"). Listen and enjoy! Vive la France! Ulf Sawert

The Renaissance and The Medici
www.amazon.com From a small Italian community in 15th-century Florence, the Medici family would rise to rule Europe in many ways. Using charm, patronage, skill, duplicity and ruthlessness, they would amass unparalleled wealth and unprecedented power. They would also ignite the most important cultural and artistic revolution in Western history--the European Renaissance. But the forces of change the Medici helped unleash would one day topple their ordered world. An epic drama played out in the courts, cathedrals and palaces of Europe, this series is both the tale of one family's powerful ambition and of Europe's tortured struggle to emerge from the ravages of the dark ages.

Una Stravaganza Dei Medici (1)
This is the music composed for an extravagant wedding ceremony between Ferdinando de' Medici and Christine of Lorraine on May the 2nd 1589. These musical sections were intermezzi's for a showing of the comedy La Pellegrina by Girolamo Bargagli. The visual aspect of the spectacle was entrusted to Bernardo Buontalenti. We are lucky to have contemporary accounts both of the staging and of the musical performance which made a video such as this possible. This spectacle was one of the turning points in the transition from renaissance to baroque aesthetics in the world of music and theatre. In this 1986 recording the Taverner Consort, Choir & Players are conduced by Andrew Parrott. The extensive cast of wonderful early music specialists includes Emma Kirkby, Tessa Bonner, Emily Van Evera, Evelyn Tubb (sopranos), Mary Nichols, Terry Anderson, Catherine Woolf (altos), Nigel Rogers, Andrew King, Mark Padmore, Charles Daniels, Rogers Covey-Crump (tenors), Alan Ewing, John Milne, Richard Wistreich (basses) and many more marvelous singers which I will omit for want of space.

The real face of Lorenzo de' Medici assassins creed 2
For those who would like to know what he really looked like - nothing like that dyspeptic guy in Assassin's Creed 2, I am glad to say. I used only more or less contemporary portraits of Lorenzo, and of course his death mask, so his real face is in there somewhere. The others are a portrait bust by Pollaiuolo, two by or after Verrocchio, and a posthumous painting. The portrait of the eleven year old Lorenzo is from the wallpaintings by Benozzo Gozzoli in the Capella dei Magi in the Palazzo Medici-Ricardi. No trickery, just morphs thanks to MorphThing.com. Lorenzo de Medici (Lorenzo il magnifico) was de facto ruler of Renaissance Florence, and fostered many artistic and intellectual geniuses such as Michelangelo and Angelo Poliziano. A patron of the arts, he was himself a gifted poet and athlete (if you count jousting as a sport) as well as a cunning politician (or mafioso, but that was essentially the style of politics at that time). Unfortunately, he was not so clever with the family business and managed to run the Medici bank nearly into the ground. Ah well, even the ultimate Renaissance Man can't be good at everything. His was maybe not the most beautiful face of the Renaissance - what with a badly broken nose (it may have been a birth defect) that meant that he had no sense of smell. Mind you, that could have counted as a bonus in a 15th century city with open sewers. Still, he was known to be able to charm the socks off his contemporaries, including the King of Naples <b>...</b>

Die Medici - Teil 1 - Die Geburt der Dynastie (1/4)
Florenz -- In der kleinen, italienischen Stadt stieg die Familie der Medici zu einer der mächtigsten Dynastien in Europa auf. Mit Geschick und Skrupellosigkeit kamen ihre Repräsentanten zu unvorstellbarem Reichtum und großer Macht. Die Medicis nutzten diese Möglichkeiten, um eine historische Revolution auszulösen -- die Renaissance. Diese Kräfte des Wandels rissen aber auch diese mächtige Familie in den Strudel der dramatischen Ereignisse am Ende des Mittelalters. Teil 1: DIE GEBURT DER DYNASTIE Über Jahrhunderte hatte die katholische Kirche die Gedanken der Menschen beherrscht. Mitte des 15. Jahrhunderts konnte Cosimo de' Medici mit dem Erlös aus erfolgreichen Bankgeschäften in Florenz die Macht an sich reißen. In seinem Auftrag baute Brunelleschi die Kuppel des Doms. Neues Lernen und Denken entfaltete sich. Florenz wurde ein neues Rom. Als Cosimo starb, ernannte ihn der Stadtstaat zum „Vater der Nation".

La Florencia de los Médici
www.artehistoria.com Cuna del nuevo arte del Renacimiento, la época de los Médici marcó el periodo de esplendor de una de las ciudades más hermosas del mundo: Florencia. Cúpulas, campanarios, torres, murallas y tejados antiguos, todo se mezcla en un limitado espacio para ofrecer al viajero un resumen de la historia de la ciudad y del arte renacentista. El Duomo es el centro neurálgico de la ciudad. Construido en el siglo XIII por Arnolfo di Cambio, presenta la tradicional decoración de mármoles de colores que caracteriza el gótico toscano. Por encima de las bóvedas nervadas sobresale la cúpula, levantada en 1417 por Filippo Bruneleschi. Con sus 45 metros de diámetro, es una de las señas de identidad de Florencia. La decoración de la cúpula diseñada por Brunelleschi la realizó Vasari entre los años 1572 y 1574, siendo finalizada por Zuccari. El tema elegido para tan importante lugar es el Juicio Final.En la decoración interior de Santa Maria de las Flores participaron los mejores artistas del Quattrocento, creando un elegante conjunto en el que sobresale la sobriedad. Ghiberti y Ucello serán los maestros sobre los que cayó el peso de la dirección de los trabajos. La basílica de Santa Reparata ocupaba el lugar en el que ahora se alza la catedral. En la cripta podemos admirar numerosos vestigios de este antiguo templo realizado en el siglo XIV. Giotto es el autor del Campanille florentino, posiblemente uno de los más elegantes de Italia. Tiene 84,70 metros de altura y se <b>...</b>
