• Les femmes de la famille Médicis comme médiatrices culturelles (1533-1743).

  16 septembre 2008, par Blandine Perona

  The establishment and preservation of the Medici principate was linked to
  an international marriage policy through which the rulers of Tuscany strove
  to win powerful allies and to promote their dynastic ambitions.
  This conference explores the patronage of women who became involved in such
  marriage strategies and who were consequently in a position to act as
  cultural (and sometimes also political) mediators between two European
  courts. The chosen timeframe encompasses the two centuries of the Medici
  principate between the wedding of Caterina de Medici (1533) and the death
  of Anna Maria Luisa de Medici (1743). Protagonists of the conference are
  the French queens Caterina and Maria de Medici, the Grand Duchesses
  Eleonora di Toledo, Giovanna d’Austria, Cristina di Lorena, Maria Maddalena
  d’Austria and Vittoria della Rovere, the Archduchess Claudia de’ Medici,
  the Princess Violante Beatrice di Baviera and the Electress Palatine Anna
  Maria Luisa de Medici. The papers will examine the role of women from the
  Medici family at other courts as well as the cultural initiatives of the
  "foreign" women who became Grand Duchesses of Florence.
