Agnolo Doni portrait in Pushkin museum (2016) by shakko 03

The subject is depicted in a seated pose against a sprawling landscape with a low horizon and soft clouds. He wears a black doublet over large red sleeves and a black cap, with his hands resting on a wooden ledge to display his jewelry.

Agnolo Doni was a major patron of the arts in Florence during the height of the Neoplatonic revival; his commissions from Raphael and Michelangelo represent the intersection of merchant wealth and the humanist intellectual culture of the early 16th century.
