Descrizione

A publication for the exhibition Money and Beauty. Bankers, Botticelli and the Bonfire of the Vanities (Florence, Palazzo Strozzi, 17 September 2011 - 22 January 2012). Masterpieces by Botticelli, Beato Angelico, Piero del Pollaiolo, the Della Robbia family, Lorenzo di Credi and Memling- the cream of Renaissance artists - show how the modern banking system developed in parallel with the most important artistic flowering in the history of the Western world. The exhibition recounts the birth of our modern banking system and of the economic boom that it triggered, providing a reconstruction of European life and the continent's economy from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance.
