Painted by Agnolo Bronzino (Agnolo di Cosimo) (Italian,
1503–1572) ca. 1550–55, the young aristocrat is Lodovico
Capponi (b. 1533), a page at the Medici court. As was his custom,
he wears black and white, his family's armorial colors. His right
index finger partially conceals the cameo he holds, revealing only
the inscription sorte (fate or fortune) — an ingenious allusion
to the obscurity of fate. In the mid 1550s Lodovico fell in love
with a girl whom Duke Cosimo had intended for one of his cousins.
After nearly three years of opposition, Cosimo suddenly relented,
but he commanded that their wedding be celebrated within
twenty-four hours.
