Portrait of Cosimo de' Medici I

Niccolò della Casa

French (active Italy), 1543 - 1547

This print is based on a design by the sculptor Baccio Bandinelli (1488-1560), who created several busts of Cosimo I de' Medici. The engraving may have served to show the duke an idea for a colossal public statue.
