Alessandro de' Medici is a 1560 oil by Bronzino, a Mannerism work, held at Uffizi Gallery.
This portrait depicts a young man with dark, curly hair and a serious expression. He wears a black, chainmail-like garment over a white collar and a pinkish-red fabric around his neck. The subject's gaze is directed slightly to the left, and his facial features are rendered in fine detail. The background of the painting is dark, which helps to accentuate the subject's features. The level of detail and realism in this painting suggests a high level of skill on the part of the artist.
