The story
MVSEVM EVROPA INVICTA presents: Il Principe. “Better feared than loved.” Florence · 1513. Also a good cat philosophy.
Niccolò Machiavelli was a Florentine diplomat who, after losing his post, wrote a short handbook on power called The Prince. It was published in 1532, after his death. In one notorious chapter he asks whether a ruler should be loved or feared, and answers that it is much safer to be feared than loved, if you cannot be both.
The book made his name a byword for cunning. The exhibited artwork shows Machiavelli at his desk beside a crown and his manuscript, with the dome of Florence cathedral and a watchful black cat in the window, because it is also, clearly, a good cat philosophy.
