Cosimo I de' Medici and his Self-Representation in Florentine Art and Culture
Veen, Henk Th. van (Rijksuniversiteit Groningen, The Netherlands)
In this study, first published in 2006, van Veen argues that Cosimo represented himself as a lofty ruler in the initial phase of his regime, but that from 1559 onwards he posed as a citizen-prince. Analyzing all of Cosimo's major commissions, both art and architecture, to support his argument, van Veen also examines historiographical and literary evidence.
