Synopsis

Excerpt from The General Biographical Dictionary, Vol. 22: Containing an Historical and Critical Account of the Lives and Writings of the Most Eminent Persons in Every Nation

The services of Lorenzo to the fine arts were not less con~ spicuous than those which be rendered to letters, by augment ing his father's collection of the remains of antient taste and skill. It is not, however, on this account Only that he is entitled to the esteem of the professors and admirers of the arts. He determined to excite, among his Countrymen, a good taste, and, by proposing to their imitation the te mains of the ancient masters, to elevate their views beyond the forms of common life, to this contemplation of that ideal beauty which alone distinguishes works of art from mere mechanical productions. With this view he appro priated his gardens in Florence to the establishment of an academy for the study of the antique, which be furnished with a profusion of statues, busts, and other relies of art.
