フィラデルフィア美術館さんのインスタグラム写真 - (フィラデルフィア美術館Instagram)「This portrait of Alessandro de Medici by Pontormo is, at first glance, like any other portrait of Italian Renaissance aristocracy. The duke is depicted drawing, a common pastime for gentlemen of the time. What makes him unique is his ethnic background, which was composed of both European and African origins—making him the first Black head of state in the Western world. He held great power and influence in Florence, and was well respected by his subjects until his death in 1537. Alessandro is buried in the famous Medici Chapel, which also features the exquisite sculpture of Renaissance master Michelangelo.
