Agnolo di Cosimo (1503-1572), more commonly known as Bronzino, was an Italian Mannerist painter from Florence. His nickname may refer to his dark skin or reddish hair.
Spending his entire life in Florence, Bronzino became the court painter for Cosimo I de' Medici, Grand Duke of Tuscany, starting in his late 30s. Although primarily a portraitist, he also created religious and allegorical works, such as his famous piece "Venus, Cupid, Folly, and Time," painted around 1544-1545. Many portraits of the Medici exist, sometimes with varying contributions from Bronzino, as Cosimo promoted the practice of copied portraits as diplomatic gifts.
Bronzino trained under Raffaellino del Garbo and later Pontormo, whose influence is evident in Bronzino's style, which features elegant, elongated figures that are calm and reserved. His work was often criticised as cold and artificial, especially during the 19th and early 20th centuries, but has gained appreciation in recent decades.
