Giuliano Medici, avec son frère aîné Lorenzo à Florence dans la seconde moitié du XVe siècle. Au lancer de Pâques de Dieu, il a été assassiné dans la cathédrale florentine pendant la masse sacrée. Il a été poignardé dix-neuf ans par Sword. Les meurtriers étaient partisans de la famille de «Medic, les partisans Pazsi So-appels. Après la mort violente de Giulian, ils ont tenté de reprendre le gouvernement, mais le frère de Giulian, Lorenzo, a réussi à défendre sa position. La mort du fils cadet Pier et Lucrezia de 'Medici ont choqué toute Florence, et il a été ordonné de créer un certain nombre de portraits du défunt en tant que mémoire et en même temps une menace pour tous les rebelles. L'image de Botticelli était un prototype pour d'autres artistes parce qu'il dépeint Giulian comme une icône, presque saint. La fenêtre ouverte et une triste tortue était le symbole habituel de la mort. Ces deux symboles étaient censés être le départ de l'âme et son transfert à l'au-delà. Certains critiques de l'art et des scientifiques affirment que cette image est une représentation fidèle du visage du défunt, car elle était basée sur un masque créé après la mort sur le visage de Giulian. Ils concluent sur la base des couvercles fermés.

Sandro Botticelli (1445-1510). Also known under the name Alessandro di Mariano di Vanni Filipepi. Botticelli was an Italian Renaissance painter from the Florentine school. His work belongs to the best in the early Renaissance. Botticelli took his surname allegedly from his brother’s nickname (who was as rotund as a tub – botticelli). His artistic career likely began in the goldsmith’s workshop of his brother Antonio. Botticelli was later entrusted by his family to the care of Filippo Lippi, a renowned painter and knowledgeable monk. As a renowned artist, Botticelli gained friends and benefactors from the most important Florentine families. He worked mainly for the Medici family. In 1481, together with another major Florentine painter, Domenico Ghirlandaio, Botticelli was summoned to Rome to participate in the decoration of the Sistine Chapel. In 1491, they were both appointed to a jury that was to decide on the contract for the construction of the facade of Florence cathedral. At the end of his life, he evidently worked under the influence of Savonarol’s fiery sermons, exclusively painting Christian themes. Among his most famous works are The Birth of Venus and Spring (Primavera) . Botticelli never married – he reportedly struggled with unrequited love for Simonet Vespucci, who was to be the model for his Venus. As his dying wish, he desired to be buried at her feet. His wish was fulfilled.
