EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the famous Nano Morgante, one of the most renowned dwarfs in the court of Cosimo I de' Medici during the second half of the 16th century. Painted by Agnolo Allori, also known as il Bronzino, this masterpiece captures both the allure and complexity of Nano Morgante's character. The portrait depicts a nude Nano Morgante with his unique physical malformation on full display. His presence is both intriguing and enigmatic, evoking a sense of curiosity in viewers. As a buffoon in the court, he was known for entertaining guests with his wit and humor. Intriguingly, perched upon Nano Morgante's shoulder is an owl—a symbol often associated with wisdom and knowledge. This juxtaposition between human and animal adds depth to the composition, hinting at deeper meanings within this artwork. Bronzino's attention to detail shines through in every brushstroke, capturing not only Nano Morgante's physical appearance but also his inner essence. The artist skillfully portrays him as more than just a dwarf; he becomes a complex figure embodying both strength and vulnerability. This stunning piece exemplifies Italian art from the Cinquecento period while showcasing Bronzino's mastery as a Renaissance painter. Preserved within Palazzo Pitti in Florence, Italy, it continues to captivate audiences today with its timeless beauty and thought-provoking subject matter.
