Portrait of a Florentine lady by Alessandro Allori

Painting of the Italian artist Alessandro Allori “Portrait of the Florentine Lady”. The size of the portrait is 55 x 42 cm, wood, oil.

In Florence in the middle of the 16th century, the fashion for portraits – pictorial and sculptural – attests to the desire of the Florentines and guests of Tuscany to brightly personalize human nature.

Alessandro Allori, imitating his teacher Bronzino in the quiet charm of the portraits, sought, however, for greater diversity and vitality of subjects, sometimes turning into genres than his famous mentor.
