🖼 Portrait of Agnolo Doni, 1506
Oil on wood

Soft light models the merchant's composed face against a distant landscape, rendered with Renaissance precision. Doni's portrait exemplifies early 16th-century Florentine ideals of humanist virtue and civic prosperity through its psychological depth and classical restraint.
