Less wealthy than his grandfather Cosimo, the argument goes, Lorenzo was far more interested in collecting ancient objects of art than in commissioning contemporary art or architecture. His earlier reputation as a patron was said to be largely a construct of humanist exaggeration and partisan deference.Johns Hopkins symposia in comparative history ;24th.StatesmenItalyFlorenceBiographyIntellectualsItalyFlorenceBiographyFlorence (Italy)History1421-1737StatesmenIntellectuals709/.2BKent F.
