About this work
Stefano Della Bella portrayed Prince Cosimo III de Medici while he closely studies a vase larger than himself. In 1656 Cosimo was fourteen years old and blissfully ignorant of the eventful life that lay ahead of him as a scion of the powerful Medici family. Art would always hold a special place for him. The Greek vase from the first century was a veritable showpiece in the garden of the Villa Medici.
