EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Coat of Arms of the Medici grand duchy, displayed as a tapestry in the Royal Apartments of the Palazzo Pitti in Florence. The image captures the essence of late Baroque, Renaissance-Baroque styles and periods, transporting us back to Europe's rich history during the first and second millennium A. D. The focal point of this artwork is undoubtedly the majestic lion, symbolizing strength and power. Its regal presence is complemented by other terrestrial mammals depicted within the composition. As our eyes wander through this intricate tapestry, we discover a charming putto figure intertwined with literature and fiction elements. The inclusion of vegetal elements adds an organic touch to this heraldic ornament. A prominent feature that cannot be missed is the crown placed above all these symbols, signifying royalty and authority. At its center lies a mesmerizing object resembling a ball or globe, representing global influence and dominion held by those who bear this coat of arms. The crest itself exudes elegance and sophistication with its meticulously designed emblematic details. This particular rendition reflects both late Baroque and Renaissance-Baroque influences prevalent during XVII-XVIII centuries. Captured around 1890 by Alinari Fratelli, this photograph immortalizes not only an exquisite piece of art but also pays homage to one of Italy's most influential families - The Medici dynasty. It serves as a reminder that behind every coat-of-arms lies a story deeply rooted in history; tales that have shaped nations for centuries.
