The oil on panel masterpiece measures 87x65 cm and is currently housed in the prestigious Galleria degli Uffizi in Florence, Tuscany, Italy. Cosimo di Giovanni de Medici, also known as "the Elder" or "il Vecchio" holds a significant place in history as an Italian banker and politician. He was the first member of the renowned Medici political dynasty, who effectively ruled over Florence during the illustrious period of the Italian Renaissance.
