Procession of the Youngest King (detail)

by GOZZOLI, Benozzo, Fresco

The youngest of the Magi was thought to be a likeness of Lorenzo the Magnificent. He is at the head of a cortege which includes Cosimo de’ Medici, Piero the Lame and his brother Giuliano. Lorenzo’s face is characterized by shining eyes, a strong, square jaw and fine mouth. However, it is not probable since at the time the work was created, he was just ten years old.
