italianartsociety:By Anne LeaderAgnolo Bronzino died in Florence on 23 November 1572, less than a week after his 69th birthday. The leading painter in Florence from the 1530s through the ’60s, Bronzino served the court of Duke Cosimo I de’Medici and produced numerous portraits, allegories, and religious works. The student and adoptive son of Pontormo, Bronzino is associated with the elegance, artifice, and grace of the Mannerist style.Reference: Janet Cox-Rearick. “Bronzino, Agnolo.” Grove Art Online.
