The Medici family was a dominant family in Florence from the 15th century up till the 18th century.[2] They were a long line of merchants, bankers, rulers, as well as patrons and collectors.[2]International trade made them one of the most powerful and wealthiest families in Italy.[2] Bronzino served as court artist for Cosimo I' de Medici, the Grand Duke of Tuscany. [2][3] Cosimo was more powerful than any previous Medici. [2] After Bronzino helped with the wedding decoration for Cosimo in 1539, his career as court artist began.[2][3] Bronzino lead a tapestry weaving project for Cosimo due to the Duke's dream to have a tapestry cycle that would rival those of the princes in Europe.[3] In the end, he was responsible for sixteen of the weavings.[3] Bronzino played a key role in helping to achieve Cosimo's goal of creating that would rival those of the European princes.[2] At the same time, Bronzino painted a series of court portraits of the Duke, the Duchess, and their children.[3] Bronzino remade the Duke's official portrait many times.[3] Bronzino's portraits of Cosimo and his family were made to display Cosimo's power and authority and were helped Cosimo's goal of establishing the Medici family's power in Florence.[2] In 1551, Bronzino joined the Ducal family in Pisa to paint more portraits of the Medici children. [3] In 1554, Bronzino was replaced as the favored court artist.

Bronzino's Portrait of a Young Man depicts an unknown youthful man standing in a Florentine palace with his left hand on his hip, and right hand holding a book as his fingers fall between the pages. The subject leans against a table that looks to be carved from purple stone. The table has intricate details, a primary detail being the engraved, almost gargoyle, face. The face shares similarities with the other two grotesque faces found on the arm chair to the right of the mans left arm, and mask-like face in the folds of his breeches[4]. The faces add contrast to the subjects stern and aloof facial features. The sitters misalignment of the eyeballs represents exotropia as known by the left eye being turned out ward. This can affect binocular vision and improper depth perception[1]. The youth is adorned in a color coordinated outfit. With a black doublet made to look made out of satin, he wears slashed sleeves that was an elite status symbol in fashion at the time[4]. The jagged edges of the sleeves suggest the sitters hyper sensitive features alluding to the mannerism style of the time. He also wears a camicia with a white juggle collar, a blue belt, one ring on his left pinky finger, and a hat and ties decorated with gold aglets.
