Die Pazzi-Verschwörung. Macht, Gewalt und Kunst im Florenz der Renaissance
In the organizer's words:
On April 26, 1478, Lorenzo and Giuliano de' Medici were attacked in the choir of Florence Cathedral. Giuliano lost his life, Lorenzo survived and subsequently punished the masterminds of this conspiracy, above all the Pazzi family. The exhibition aims to trace this story using the collections of the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin.
The Coin Cabinet owns medals depicting all the protagonists of the affair, while many of these figures are also represented by portraits now in the Sculpture Collection and the Picture Gallery - starting with Giuliano, whose features Sandro Botticelli painted after his death with a lowered gaze. The "Pazzi Conspiracy" is a tragic and decisive story of the Florentine Quattrocento that alone sums up the importance of the Italian Renaissance: an era in which violent political and religious conflicts were transformed into unforgettable artistic creations.
