Analyze the system of patronage in Florence by focusing on the Medici family and their artistic contributions to the city
What will be an ideal response?
Civic humanism demanded that the wealthy contribute to the beauty of the city-state and the Medici family was one of the chief patrons of civic monuments. They sponsored artists and craftsmen such as Donatello, Botticelli, and Michelangelo, and also dedicated chapels and churches. These practices were also felt to absolve the patrons of their sins. This was important to the Medici clan since their money was made through the practice of money-lending, a practice condemned Biblically.
