Description:
|
The painting has been dated 1533, at a time when Bronzino was defining his own artistic personality following his assimilation of Pontormo’s teachings. The attribution to Bronzino was made by relating it to an early work by Bronzino on which he collaborated with Pontormo: four tondi depicting the Evangelists painted for the funerary chapel of Ludovico Capponi in Santa Felicità in Florence. A drawing by Bronzino of Matthew shows the same pose and drapery. Brock suggested that the painting was an allegorical portrait.
