EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print showcases the young and grand Ferdinando II de Medici, painted by Justus Sustermans in 1626. The oil on canvas masterpiece measures 43x33 cm and is currently housed in the Palazzo Pitti, Florence, Italy. Ferdinando II de Medici, who reigned as the grand duke of Tuscany from 1621 to 1670, is depicted here as a boy with his striking red coat. Despite his youthfulness, his face bears the marks of smallpox scars that add depth and character to his visage. The painting beautifully captures both the baroque style prevalent during this period and Ferdinando's regal presence. As the eldest child of Cosimo II de Medici and Maria Maddalena of Austria, he inherited great responsibility at a tender age. This portrait not only immortalizes Ferdinando's physical appearance but also serves as a testament to his resilience in facing adversity. The pox marks symbolize both disease and strength simultaneously. As we gaze upon this Florentine masterpiece today, we are transported back to a time when illness could not hinder one's determination or dampen their spirit. It reminds us that even amidst challenges, individuals like Ferdinando II de Medici can rise above their circumstances and leave an indelible mark on history.
