the european turtle-dove is a member of the columbidae family (pigeons and doves) that breeds over a wide spread of the southwestern palearctic, but winters in northern sub-saharan africa. these iconic birds are more slender than most other doves, and they are often identified by the black-and-white patch on the sides of their necks. in the united kingdom, the birds’ population has decreased by 93% since 1994; this is commonly attributed to a change in farming practices that left the doves with fewer weed seeds and shoots to feed on. additionally, overhunting of the doves has led to population decline; a 2001 study found that between two and four million birds were shot in malta, cyprus, france, italy, spain, and greece. a hunting ban introduced in 2021 by the european commission in france, spain, and portugal had by 2024 resulted in a 25% increase in the western european breeding population.

Giuliano de' Medici

Artist: Sandro Botticelli (Italian, c. 1445-1510)

Date: c. 1478/1480

Medium: Tempera on panel

Collection: National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC, United States

Giuliano de' Medici

Giuliano de' Medici (28 October 1453 – 26 April 1478) was the second son of Piero de' Medici (the Gouty) and Lucrezia Tornabuoni. As co-ruler of the Florentine Republic, with his brother Lorenzo the Magnificent, he complemented his brother's image as the "patron of the arts" with his own image as the handsome, sporting "golden boy". He was killed in a plot known as the Pazzi conspiracy in 1478.

This portrait of young Giuliano de’ Medici was likely painted after his murder in 1478. The downward tilt of his head, lowered eyelids, half-open window, and turtledove on a dead branch can all symbolize death. Giuliano and his brother Lorenzo de’ Medici were targets of an assassination plot. Members of the Pazzi family wanted to remove the Medicis from power.

They were attacked in the Duomo (cathedral) of Florence during High Mass on Easter. Lorenzo escaped with wounds, but Giuliano was killed. Portraits of Lorenzo (such as this painted terracotta bust) were made to show citizens that he was still alive and in power. Those of Giuliano were commemorative.

They were very happy, even after they discovered that they couldn’t live on love alone. John did not find Meg’s beauty diminished, though she beamed at him from behind the familiar coffee-pot; nor did Meg miss any of the romance from the daily parting, when her husband followed up his kiss with the tender inquiry, “Shall I send home veal or mutton for dinner, darling?” The little house ceased to be a glorified bower, but it became a home, and the young couple soon felt that it was a change for the better.
