Bronzino (1503–1572)
Agnolo di Cosimo was born near Florence and is better known as Bronzino. He is one of the most important painters in the Mannerist movement in the 16th century. He was a big fan of the works of Raphael and Michelangelo. He was an excellent portrait painter but also painted many biblical scenes. He was the court painter of the Medici Family when Cosimo I was in charge of Florence. Despite his talents, Bronzino is somewhat less popular than some of the other famous painters from his time as his paintings lack drama and dynamics. The figures he paints often lack emotions and are depicted in a calm state.
