Description

Explore the fascinating connection between rare wildlife and political power in this scholarly work from Brill. This book examines how exotic animals served as tools for cultural self-fashioning and political imaging within the Medici court. It tracks the family's influence from their time as Dukes of Florence (1532-1569) through their era as Grand Dukes of Tuscany (1569-1737). The narrative begins by looking at global practices in zoological collecting and the various cultural uses of animals. It provides a detailed look at the Medici family's specific activities as collectors of exotic species. Readers will learn about the menageries they established and how these animals were used during the ceremonial life of the court and within their commissioned art. This study connects the Medici's local practices to a wider global perspective on animal collection and its role in shaping the identity of rulers and elites.
