This thing has been on my mind all day. I've looked all over the Internet
for similar pictures or images. I've found so many more than I knew about
and still now that are this one picture.
I''ve looked under all Renaissance artists around 1540 and not look close.
It looks like the Flemish artists and Ruebens paiintings but not the same
background treatment. So as an art teacher, this has me baffled.
I'd like to know more about the Renaissance Period of art is my favorite. I
have lots to learn about the clothing of that time. So now it has become a
mission to learn more about this wonderful period of art.
Please keep us informed about this painting. Where did you get the picture?
Can you write the publisher for more information? Maybe they can refer you
to the original owner or museum. It's worth a trty.

Quoting Kathy Page <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Someone on another list just presented a really
compelling comparison:

It supports the opinion that my version is a later
copy, but they have misdated it, if they have. The
details have been exaggerated it would appear if this
is true.
One of these paintings is by Alessandro Allori
apparently. I've seen it attributed to Bronzino as
well.
*snippage*
Allori was Bronzino's pupil -- and Bronzino was made his guardian as
well so there was a close relationship between the two. In fact, if
you see an attribution of Allesandro Bronzino, it is in fact Allori
rather than Agnolo Bronzino who was the artist. He is known to have
taken Bronzino's name from time to time.
Here's a brief bio.

and one for Bronzino
