As the Dukes of Florence and later, the Grand Dukes of all of Tuscany, the Medici were the most powerful family in sixteenth-century Italy. In addition to their political authority, the family upheld a tradition of ambitious patronage of the visual arts. This exhibition examines the role that printmaking played in their steady rise to power. At the same time it charts the favorite court artist Baccio Bandinelli, along with designs engraved principally in Antwerp by his successor, Giorgio Vasari, and his circle. Etchings of major events, festivities, and everyday life at court by Jacques Callot and Stefano della Bella are also on view.
