The character of Lorenzaccio, in the play by Alfred de Musset, is based on Lorenzo the Magnificent, the most powerful of the Medicis, who ruled the city-state of Florence. In the play, Lorenzaccio struggles desperately to save Florence, which had grown rich during his reign from the grip of a power-hungry conqueror. Mucha represents this tyranny by a dragon menacing the city coat of arms and portrays Lorenzaccio pondering the course of his action.
The play opened December 3, 1896.
