The Palazzo Medici
The Palazzo Medici, also known as “The Palazzo Medici Riccardi” which is a Renaissance palace located in Florence, Italy. The Palazzo Medici Riccardi was designed by Michelozzo di Bartolomeo Michelozzi for Cosimo de’ Medici, and it was built between 1444-1484 by Michelozzo. The Medici Florentine banking family lived in “The Palazzo Medici Riccardi” in the second half of the 15th century. The Medici family home was built with stone masonry, which includes architectural elements.
Art Elements
The Art Elements are that the structure has lines, curves, shapes, patterns, colors, lighting contrast, and form.
Lines: The Palazzo Medici Riccardi structure has lines that go down the halls, above the curves that shows the second floor below the windows.
Curves: The arches are the curved lines that adds to the beautiful work of art to the entries of the main floor.
Shapes: There are square shapes on the windows and on the floor of the Pallazzo Medici. The shapes of the arches are domes over the entrances and over the windows. The clock on the wall of the Magi Chapel is round. There are designs above the arches and below the widows.
Patterns: The patterns of the square shapes on the floor of one of the pallazzo medici room, and on the designs below the windows and over the arches of the entrances. There are also patterns on the floor of the Magi Chapel.
Colors: The colors on the ceiling of the palace room are gold, brown on the designs of the floor, light blue and a tint of red on the ceiling. There are colors in the Magi Chapel also. I see a tint of light blue or light green, white, and red. The masonry stones in the entrances are grey.
Lighting Contrast: The lighting contrast in the Pallazzo Medici room makes the room look gold. The lighting contrast is beautiful.
Form: The form on the inside of the Medici family home has beautiful architectural work done by Michelozzo.
Donatello, Michelangelo, Paolo Uccello, Benozzo Gozzoli all have worked at “The Palazzo Medici Riccardi”.

What appeals to me is that Donatello, Michelangelo, Paolo Uccello, Benozzo Gozzoli all have worked at “The Palazzo Medici Riccardi.”
The blog fits with the theme of the assignment that is given. The renaissance was a beautiful era and the Palazzo Medici Riccardi represents that.
What i would have like to see in this post was more history on the Medici Family because they are interesting family.
