In class on Tuesday, we learned about multiple works of art crafted specifically with the patron in mind. The Studiolo Palazzo uses intarsia, the technique of using different color wood inlays, to create the illusion that the designs on the wood are 3-dimensional. The three-dimensionality works the best for a person who is 175 cm tall which is also the height of the patron. Additionally, works such as Sandro Botticelli’s Primavera, a work made for Lorzeno Medici when he was getting married. This work is specialized for Lorenzo through the multiple references Botticelli makes about him. For example, the abundance of oranges on the trees are a reference to the Medici’s being “physicians” since round things are the traditional shape of medicine. Additionally, there are multiple depictions of “flames” (detail) such as on Venus’s dress and the Cupid’s flaming arrow. Likewise, “flame” is also a reference to Lorenzo because Saint Lawrence is a patron to fire.
