Hello,everyone, we meet again. Let's say sorry first. Today, I came a little late because I was too involved in chasing an American drama.ButMedici: masters of Florence is really good. Who like Renaissance movies and TV dramas recommend you to have a look.

"We cannot say that without the Medici family, there would be no Italian Renaissance. But without the Medici family, the Italian Renaissance is certainly not what we see today."

When it comes to the Medici family, we have to talk about Lorenzo, the most famous person in the family.

Lorenzo de Medici, many people are very strange to this name. As the actual

ruler of Florence in the Renaissance, his life was very ups and downs. He is not only a master of swordsmanship, but also outstanding in art and diplomacy. He worked hard to maintain peace among Italian city states while he was alive, and his death also represented the end of the golden age of Florence.

Lorenzo is a genius with outstanding wisdom and courage.At the age of 5, he completed a diplomatic mission on behalf of his father - to attend the wedding of the king's son of a neighboring country.At the age of 17, he was sent to Rome to negotiate with the Pope for a monopoly on the alum mine business.At the age of 21, he officially inherited his father's mantle and held an important public office in Florence.

Lorenzo is a "benevolent tyrant".Although he felt that "this is against my young people's nature", he finally reluctantly shouldered the burden of governing the country in order to protect his friends and family property. Since then, he has

been running for the balance of national interests and mediating for the peace of Florence all his life.He was an assassinated tyrant. He also funded Renaissance art giants such as Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, Michelangelo and Titian, as well as scientists Galileo and Milan Dora.

Lorenzo was a typical "literary youth" in that period.He grew up in the strong artistic atmosphere of the Medici palace. At the same time, he gradually built it into an important knowledge center of the Renaissance. During the Lorenzo period, at least three of the most outstanding Renaissance artists read their final stage of growth at the Medici palace. It opened the way for them to make

artistic achievements. Da Vinci, Michelangelo and Botticelli's achievements in the future have something to do with him.

In Lorenzo's design, we have considered many drafts, and finally the appearance in the tentative drawing.

Red represents Florence, the origin of the passionate Renaissance. Gold and black support the delicacy of the nobility. The firm lines are mostly used on his face to express Lorenzo's firm character of daring to fight the Holy See.

The unique skill design integrates the starting action of Western sword and the waving action of broad sword. Supplemented by the flame effect with red as the main tone.

That's all for Lorenzo Medici's introduction. If you have any new opinions on the gorgeous Duke, I hope you can leave a message and tell us. I'm looking forward to your suggestions and feedback. See you next time~
