Procession of the Youngest King (detail)

by GOZZOLI, Benozzo, Fresco

Members of the Medici family are portrayed in the youngest king’s retinue. For example, the man riding on a brown mule has been identified as Cosimo de’ Medici (1389-1464). Benozzo Gozzoli placed his own self-portrait among the Medicis. His red cap bears the inscription BENOTII. He is standing behind two youths, who, it is now believed, portray Lorenzo and Giuliano de’ Medici.
