EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting portrait captures the infantile charm of Leopoldo de' Medici (1617-1675) in a stunning equestrian painting created by the Florentine master, Jacopo Ligozzi (1547-1627). Dated around 1617, the artwork showcases the young Medici prince, who was the grandson of Cosimo II de' Medici, the Grand Duke of Tuscany, at the tender age of a baby. The painting's composition is reminiscent of the Mannerist style, popular during the late Renaissance period in Italy. The image of the cherubic boy, with his rosy cheeks and innocent expression, is depicted sitting atop a horse, holding the reins in his tiny hands. The horse, adorned with intricate decorations, stands still, its ears pricked forward, as if sensing the young rider's presence. The oil on wood painting exudes an aura of tranquility and serenity, capturing the essence of childhood innocence. The painting's provenance can be traced back to the Medici family, as it is believed to have been part of their private collection in Florence, Tuscany. The artwork's existence serves as a testament to the family's rich artistic heritage and their patronage of the arts. Ligozzi's mastery of the Mannerist style is evident in the way he has captured the delicate features of the young prince, the intricate details of the horse and its trappings, and the harmonious balance between the subject and the background. This enchanting portrait offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and innocence of childhood, as well as the artistic prowess of the Florentine School during the late Renaissance period.
