Florence: Palazzo Medici Riccardi

Cosimo de Medici commissioned Michelozzo to build his palace in 1444. By making the cornice ten feet high, Michelozzo adjusted its scale to the height of the whole building rather than to only its top floor, projecting power. Regardless of it purposely plain exterior, the building well reflects the accumulated wealth of the Medici family. The most important artwork in the palace is the Magi Chapel, The Journey of The Magi frescoed by Benozzo Gozzoli, who completed it around 1459. Gozzoli included portraits of members of the Medici family, most famously the young Lorenzo, their allies, the Byzantine emperor John VIII Palaiologos and Holy Roman Emperor Sigismund of Luxemburg parading through Tuscany under the guise of the Three Wise Men.
