The Medici Cheetah was inspired by Italian Renaissance paintings and cultural events alongside beliefs and attitudes of the era; the dichotomy of idealism versus naturalism opening a portal to landscapes of fantasy, a ‘New World’. Within a scene largely inspired by The Arrival in Bethlehem by Master LC, we find mythological or fantasy buildings such as the Tower of Babel (Bruegel The Elder). Our feline protagonist lounges in the foreground, reclining like Titian’s Venus D’Urbino, the languid, skyward gaze a common feature of Renaissance portraiture. During the Renaissance, the columbine was primarily a Christian symbol, particularly associated with the Holy Spirit due to its dove-like appearance. The banded sky references a 1465 painting, La Divina Commedia di Dante, by Domenico di Michelino, located in the Florence Cathedral.
