A Flemish man in the service of Florence
Fixing the faces and continuity of a dynasty
Born in Antwerp, Justus Sustermans settled in Florence and became the official portraitist of the Medici court. For more than half a century, it represented children, grand dukes, princesses, diplomats and European visitors, giving each one an attentive resemblance while placing the model in a strategy of dynastic prestige. The "Justus Sustermans" selection notably compares Portrait of Ferdinand II of Tuscany - Justus Sustermans and Portrait of Maria Maddalena of Austria as a widow - Justus Sustermans. His reading favors movement.
The costume asserts rank, but the face retains the age, temperament and sometimes fragility of the model.
