what is an work (invention) created by Lorenzo de Medici ?????

Question

what did people think of it at the time it was invented

Answer 1

He didn't invent anything. He was a thug who helped destroy the republic in Florence and replace it with a dictatorship run by his family. (Similarly, he was called "the Magnificent" because of his wealth and by those who wished to curry his favor, as he was known to have opponents killed or exiled.) Some of his wealth was used to pay great artists like Michaelangelo, but some of it was also used to grab the papacy, ushering in some of the darkest years in the history of the Catholic Church. He wasn't any sort of artist or inventor in his own right.

Answer 2

I can't think honestly say that I know of anything that Lorenzo de Medici created. He was not an inventor. He was part of the mighty Medici dynasty and ruled Florence during the Renaissance. The only thing to do with inventions that I know about with regard to Lorenzo is that when the moveable printing press was invented by Johannes Gutenberg and was scorned by his contemporaries, Lorenzo supported him and thus texts and books became quicker to produce and thus less expensive and more popular.

Lorenzo also supported artists such as Leonardo da Vinci, Donatello, Sandro Botticelli, Domenico Ghirlandaio, Andrea del Verrocchio and Michelangelo Buonarroti and this was instrumental in the development of Florence as the center of 15th century Renaissance Europe.

Hope this helps.

Answer 3

Lorenzo de Medici was born on January 1, 1449 in Florence, Italy. "Lorenzo The Magnificent," as he was called by the people of Florence, was a statesman, ruler, and patron of the arts. "The Magnificent" was a common title of respect in Italy at the time, but it was Lorenzo who raised it to special status.

Lorenzo ruled Florence with his younger brother, Giuliano, from 1469 to 1478. After his brother's assassination in 1478, he was sole ruler until his death. Perhaps Lorenzo's greatest contribution to history was his patronage of the arts. He contributed more than anyone to the flowering of Florentine genius in the late 15th century, supporting such giants as Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo. Lorenzo treated the artists under his protection with respect and warm-hearted familiarity.
