From the Alexander Christopher Collection.
The longest-reigning Grand Duke in the history of Toscana, Cosimo III was born to Ferdinando II de' Medici and Vittoria della Rovere. At the behest of his mother, he was raised with a religiously-oriented education, ultimately serving as the catalyst to the reactionary policies made throughout his reign. Poor management of the grand duchy, however, left Toscana in a fledgling economic state upon Cosimo's death and his son and successor, Gian Gastone, served as the final member from the de' Medici family.
The final winners of all Triton XXVIII lots will be determined at the live public sale that will be held on 14-15 January 2025.
Triton XXVIII – Session Four – Lot 830–1154 will be held Wednesday afternoon, 15 January 2025 beginning at 2:00 PM ET.
