In this study, first published in 2006, Henk Th. van Veen
reassesses how Cosimo de' Medici represented himself in images
during the course of his rule. Traditionally, Cosimo is seen to be
posing as a republican prince in the images made of him during the
early years of his reign; as his power grew, he represented himself
as a proud dynastic and territorial ruler. By contrast, van Veen
argues that Cosimo represented himself as a lofty ruler in the
initial phase of his regime, but that from 1559 onwards he posed as
a citizen-prince. Analyzing all of Cosimo's major commissions, both
art and architecture, to support his argument, van Veen also
examines historiographical and literary evidence, as well as the
civic traditions, rites, and customs that Cosimo promoted in
sixteenth-century Florence.
