Portrait d'un jeune homme

Bronzino (Agnolo di Cosimo di Mariano) Italian

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 612

Exécuté à Florence, ce portrait est l’un des plus étonnants qu’ait peints le Bronzino. Le modèle est inconnu, mais il appartenait sans doute au cercle restreint des amis lettrés de l’ artiste, parmi lesquels figuraient l’historien Benedetto Varchi et la poétesse Laura Battiferri, qui lui servirent tous deux de modèles. Bronzino lui-même composa des vers, certains sérieux et d’autres libertins. L’humour fantasque exprimé par les têtes grotesques sculptées dans la table et la chaise, et le masque que forment les plis de la culotte du jeune homme, étaient d’un genre prisé des cercles littéraires, qui y voyaient un commentaire ironique sur le portrait et la représentation de soi.
