The Medici model

The model of patronage developed by the Medici family in Renaissance Florence, where sustained financial and social investment in artists produced a concentration of creative excellence—a system dependent on wealthy patrons with refined taste and confidence in their own judgment. This structure shaped the Renaissance and haunts contemporary discussions of arts funding, demonstrating both the possibility and limitations of patron-dependent creation.
