EDITORS COMMENTS
Justus Sustermans' painting, "L'hommage du Senat florentin au grand duc Ferdinand II" (Homage of the Florentine Senate to Grand Duke Ferdinand II), created around 1621, captures a significant moment in Tuscan history. The young Grand Duke Ferdinand II, seated on a throne draped in black, is flanked by his mother, Archduchess Maria Maddalena of Austria, and his paternal grandmother, Christine of Lorraine. The allegorical figures of the River Arno on the left and Tuscany on the right symbolize the connection between the Grand Duke and his heritage. Ferdinand II was only ten years old when his father, Cosimo II, died, making his mother and grandmother, Maria Maddalena and Christine, joint regents. This painting commemorates their homage and recognition of the young Grand Duke's new role. The painting's rich colors and intricate details showcase the artistic school of the time, with influences from both Austria and France. The grand duke, dressed in a crown and ermine robe, sits confidently, signifying his newfound authority. The allegorical figures emphasize the continuity of the Medici lineage and the importance of the Tuscan institution. The painting is a testament to the historical significance of the Medici family and their rule over Tuscany during the 17th century.
