Retrato de un joven

1530s
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 612
Bronzino pintó este fascinante retrato en Florencia, si bien se desconoce la identidad del modelo. Es posible que fuera uno de los literatos amigos suyos, ya que sabemos que retrató a dos de ellos, el historiador Benedetto Varchi y la poeta Laura Battiferri. Bronzino también escribía versos, tanto serios como picarescos, y los círculos literarios que frecuentaba habrían apreciado las cabezas grotescas talladas en la mesa y la silla, y la especie de máscara formada por los pliegues de las calzas abullonadas del joven, además de otros detalles imaginativos y humorísticos, como comentarios irónicos sobre el arte del retrato y la manera de presentarse en público.
