"Fools of Fortune: The Medici Jest" merges the real history of Cosimo I de' Medici with a fictional narrative of six enigmatic jesters who wielded power through wit, charm, and cunning. Each jester, depicted as a figure from a deck of cards, represents a different aspect of the court's intrigue—spying, diplomacy, manipulation, prophecy, and ambition. Through art, the collection explores the delicate balance of power in Renaissance Florence, where even a fool could change the course of history.
