Description
This is a portrait of Cosimo de' Medici (1389-1464), called the Elder, who was a very rich banker who ruled the Florentine Republic from 1434 until his death. He also commissioned a lot of wonderful masterpieces of the time. This is the earliest surviving sculptural testimony to Cosimo's likeness and was probably made when he was still alive.
