This double portrait by Andrea del Castagno, a prominent Florentine painter of the early Renaissance, showcases two members of the powerful Medici family. The painting is renowned for its striking realism and stark use of light and shadow, characteristic of Castagno's style. The figures, depicted in profile, wear elegant red garments, their faces rendered with meticulous detail, highlighting the individuality of each sitter. Castagno's masterful portrayal of the Medici family is a testament to the artistic prowess of the Florentine Renaissance and its fascination with humanist ideals.
