About the piece

Painted around 1614, this masterful portrait by Peter Paul Rubens depicts Lorenzo de' Medici with a contemplative intensity. The work showcases Rubens' signature ability to render life-like flesh tones and the rich texture of fabric, here highlighted by the striking contrast between the deep blue garment and the dark, atmospheric background.
