In the 5th century BC, Ancient Greece was a cradle of a momentous cultural revolution. Guided by illuminated politicians, an enlightened community of artists, philosophers and poets crafted a new language to express universal values—an unparalleled golden age of creativity began. ​

Over 1800 years later in 15th-century Firenze, the patronage of the Medici supported inspired intellectuals and creatives who drew from the Greek Golden Age. They dared to break the shackles of medieval norms, sculpting a fresh artistic language and new mythologies, kindling what we now know as the Renaissance.
