EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking image captures Ferdinand II de Medici, Grand Duke of Tuscany (1610-1670), in a formal portrait with his consort and cousin, Vittoria della Rovere (1622-1694). Ferdinand, a prominent patron of the arts and sciences, was a pupil of the renowned Italian scientist Galileo Galilei. His passion for knowledge and intellectual pursuits is evident in this depiction, as he is seen holding a baton, a symbol of his ducal authority, in one hand and a book in the other. Born in Florence, Italy, in 1610, Ferdinand ascended to the throne of Tuscany in 1621 following the death of his father, Cosimo II. During his reign, he continued the Medici family's tradition of patronage, supporting artists, writers, and scientists, including Galileo Galilei, Bernini, and Galileo Galilei's son, Vincenzo. In this portrait, Ferdinand is shown in regal attire, wearing the Order of the Garter, a sign of his close relationship with the English monarchy. His consort, Vittoria della Rovere, is depicted in an elegant gown, with her hand resting on Ferdinand's shoulder. The two are united not only by their familial bond, as they were first cousins, but also by their shared commitment to the arts and sciences. This portrait, created around 1670, offers a glimpse into the world of the Italian aristocracy during the Baroque period. The grandeur and opulence of the setting, as well as the elegant attire and poised demeanor of the subjects, serve as a testament to the wealth and power of the Medici family. The image also underscores the important role that the patronage of the arts and sciences played in shaping the cultural landscape of Europe during this time.
