His last commission from Duke Cosimo I de Medici was the Martyrdom of St Lawrence (1565), an enormous Michelangelesque fresco which occupies a large section of the left nave wall of San Lorenzo, Florence. On the left of the fresco, beneath the statue of Mercury, Bronzino painted a self-portrait together with two portraits of his master, Pontormo, and his pupil, Alessandro Allori.
