STUDIO OF JUSTUS SUSTERMANS (FLEMISH 1597 - 1681)COSIMO III DE MEDICI, C. 1646Oil on canvas64.5 x 74.5cm (25¼ x 29¼ in.)Provenance:Noble collection, ItalyJustus Sustermans was first recorded working for the Medici in Florence in October 1621. He then worked continuously for the Grand Dukes until his death 60 years later in 1681. Sustermans was particularly favoured by Cosimo III's mother, Vittoria della Rovere whom he painted on multiple occasions, including a large double portrait of Vittoria with her young son Cosimo, from which this portrait was based (Turin, Galleria Sabuada). Under the employment of the Medici, Sustermans ran a large studio to create official state portraits of the Grand Duke and Duchess and their family. This portrait, a particularly fine studio example, would almost certainly have been commissioned by the Grand Duke and gifted to an ally or relation. It has since been in the same private noble collection until recently.
