DIPLOMACY MEDICI STYLE

In conjunction with the online exhibition Diplomacy Medici Style, this video focuses on the exquisite Crucifixion with the Virgin Mary and Saint John the Evangelist by Pietro Tacca and his workshop, a reduced version of the famous Pistoia Crucifix in the National Gallery of Art, Washington. The video explores the phenomenon of gift-giving in the sixteenth century, when Grand Duke Ferdinando I commissioned crucifixes to donate to Medici churches and to gift to an important few.

Video produced and directed by Carolyn H. Miner.

Videography by Valentin Meneveau.
