Who were the medicis and what was their affect on the Renaissance?

The Medicis were members of a rich Florentine family who were patrons of the Arts. In those days, an artist made his living by getting commissions from the rich. These were basically orders for art work. The Medicis commissioned art for their personal chapel, for churches they frequented, for the city of Florence which they virtually controlled for some time, etc. Since some of the greatest artists of the Renaissance lived and worked in Florence, much of the art they commissioned are masterpieces. Michelangelo and Raphael are among those who benefitted from the Medicis love of Art.They also got themselves embroiled in city politics and even had a member or two of the family killed by political rivals. A Medici became Pope and another married the King of France.
