Porträt eines jungen Mannes

1530s
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 612
Dieses Porträt wurde in Florenz gemalt und zählt zu Bronzinos faszinierendsten Porträts. Das Modell ist nicht bekannt, doch es muss zu Bronzinos kleinem Kreis literarischer Freunde gehören, dem auch der Historiker Benedetto Varchi und die Dichterin Laura Battiferri angehörten, die beide für den Künstler Modell gestanden hatten. Bronzino komponierte selbst Lyrik, sowohl ernste als auch obszöne. Einige der fantasiereichen und originellen Einfälle in diesem Bild, zum Beispiel die grotesken Köpfe, die in den Tisch und den Stuhl geschnitzt sind, sowie das maskenartige Gesicht aus den Falten der Hose des jungen Mannes, hätte man in literarischen Kreisen als ironische Kommentare zur Porträtmalerei und Selbstpräsentation sehr geschätzt.
