Bronzino, Bia de' Medici, Uffizi

Speranza



Official painter to the Medicis, whose dynasty was nearly at an end, Bronzino entered their service in 1540, after being official painter to the Duca d'Urbino.

With a sharpness and delicacy reminiscent of Holbein, Bronzino painted Bia de' Medici, daughter of Cosimo I.
