In particular, it looks at Cosimo?s work as an art patron to much of the culture of Florence at the time and, even more broadly, much of the early Renaissance church.

From the Paper:
"But it must also be remembered that while Cosimo de"Medici was not a democratic leader in the modern sense of the term, it is also important - as Kent makes clear repeatedly - that the distinction between public and private was narrower in Cosimo's Florence than it is today. Cosimo's private garden, for example, was transformed into a kind of public academy for painters as were the gardens of other de'Medici family members (Jacobs, 2002). The homes and garden of Cosimo deMedici existed in an almost seamless whole with the public commissions that he made."
