## Commentary

Lorenzo Cybo \(1500-1549\) he was the son of Franceschetto Cybo and Maddalena de&#39; Medici, daughter of Lorenzo de&#39; Medici. His uncle was Pope Leo X and his paternal grandfather was Pope Innocent VIII. A skilled soldier, he held the position of commander-in-chief of the Papal Army. The sitter&#39;s straight posture and reserved gaze radiates a certain arrogance. Striking a relaxed pose, he holds a dagger and an impressive two-handed broadsword so heavy that a small, eager boy lends support.
