In 1914, Girolamo Savonarola had come to the conclusion that the Medici family had to much power in Florence because of their incredible banking and economic systems. Savonarola began to preach to the people of Florence of his ideas and philosophy. He gained many followers and eventually built up enough support to overthrow the Medici Family. He then went on to appoint very famous Machiavelli to be his secretary.

Art wasn't exactly popular in Medieval times. It was the Renaissance when the Medici family donated tons of money to artists. Then art was everywhere. In Medieval times, however, the didn't really have much art. They had tapestries, but that's about it.
