Description
Italiano: Questo ritratto di Gian Gastone de' Medici fu commissionato al pittore olandese Adriaen van der Werff dal cognato del principe, l'elettore palatino del Reno Giovanni Guglielmo, nel luglio del 1698, trovandosi contemporanemante il ritrattato e il ritrattista per un breve periodo a Düsseldorf. In una lettera al padre Cosimo III, granduca di Toscana, datata 26 luglio 1698, il principe lamentò il tedio di dover posare per tre giorni per farsi ritrarre il viso, essendo il pittore «un po' stitico e agiato» (cioè lento e che se la prendeva con comodo). In un'altra lettera, scritta nello stesso giorno, Anna Maria Luisa, sorella di Gian Gastone e moglie dell'elettore palatino, scriveva allo zio: «Gio[van] Gastone si dipinge non dirò con suo sommo gusto ma bensì dell'Elettore, che l'[h]a volsuto essendoci un pittore bravo d'Olanda, e siamo qui nella sua camera a tenerlo allegro». Il dipinto fu completato soltanto sette anni dopo, nel 1704.
