# Portrait of Galeazzo Maria Sforza [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [POLLAIUOLO brothers]() - Date: 1451-1500 - Technique: Tempera on panel, 65 x 42 cm ## Commentary Portrait of Galeazzo Maria Sforza c. 1471 Tempera on panel, 65 x 42 cm Galleria degli Uffizi, Florence Piero Pollaiuolo painted the portrait from the design of his brother, Antonio on the occasion of the visit of Sforza to Florence. The identity of the person portrayed is beyond any doubt since there exists a copy of the work bearing Sforza's name. Even the earliest documents attribute this portrait to Piero del Pollaiuolo. The painting, its rather dark colours unenlivened by any landscape views, plays on the changing colour tones of the materials and on the characteristic physiognomy of its striking protagonist. Restored in 1994. ## Related artworks - [Altarpiece with Three Saints]() - [Annunciation]() - [Charity]() - [Coronation of the Virgin]() - [Coronation of the Virgin]() - [Faith]() - [Hope]() - [Justice]() - [Mary with the Child]() - [Portrait of a Lady]() - [Portrait of a Lady]() - [Prudence]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
