Title
Imagining the Americas in Medici Florence, Lia Markey, Newberry Library Archives, March 1, 2017
Date
March 1, 2017
Description
Lia Markey discusses her new book, the first full-length study of the impact of European contact with the Americas on Italian Renaissance art and culture, Imagining the Americas in Medici Florence. She demonstrates that the Medici grand dukes of Florence were not only great patrons of artists but also early conservators of American culture. In collecting New World objects such as featherwork, codices, turquoise, and live plants and animals, the Medici grand dukes undertook a “vicarious conquest” of the Americas. As a result of their efforts, Renaissance Florence boasted one of the largest collections of objects from the New World as well as representations of the Americas in a variety of media.
