This book tells the story of one dynasty's struggle with water, to
control its flow and manage its representation. The role of water
in the art and festivals of Cosimo I and his heirs, Francesco I and
Ferdinando I de' Medici, informs this richly-illustrated
interdisciplinary study. Else draws on a wealth of visual and
documentary material to trace how the Medici sought to harness the
power of Neptune, whether in the application of his imagery or in
the control over waterways and maritime frontiers, as they
negotiated a place in the unstable political arena of Europe, and
competed with foreign powers more versed in maritime traditions and
aquatic imagery.
