Description

Relief of Cosimo II De' Medici, Grand Duke of Tuscany (b.1590, ruled 1609-21)
By Orazio Mochi (d.1625); painted by Francesco Bianchi (1602-58)
Italian, Florence
1617-24
Painted stucco

This is believed to be one of two surviving models by Mochi, painted in imitation of a relief in pietre dure. The relief was commissioned by Cosimo II to fulfil a vow he made during illness, and was intended as the centrepiece of a gold altar-frontal for the altar of St Charles Borromeo in the Cathedral of Milan. The Grand Duke kneels before an altar, with the cathedral of Florence visible through the window behind.
