Juliano De Medici's Coming-Out Party

The Medici brothers continued to live their life celebrating art and poetry. In 1475, Juliano de Medici had a magnificent joust that served as a coming-out party for him. When young Juliano, 21 years old at this point, rode out in full armor, carrying a banner painted by Baudicelli, he must have looked resplendent. Of course, now that the relationship between the Medici and Sixtus IV had soured, there were no more conversations about turning Juliano into a cardinal.
