What strikes us in this portrait is the convincing compromise between the formal purity acquired from bronzino, the predilection for enlarged forms drawn from michelangelo, and the balanced, rhythmic spatial models of raphael, for allori was a truly skilled alchemist in combining these various influences in a dignified way. The lady portrayed is certainly bianca cappello, already painted by allori in a fresco which now hangs in the tribune of the uffizi. Object Type: painting. Genre: portrait. Date: 1578.
