Allegory of Happiness is an oil on copper painting by Bronzino, probably first produced for the Studiolo of Francesco I, signed BROZ. FAC. and now in the Uffizi in Florence.[1][2][3][4] It is now in a fluted and gilded 17th century wooden frame.[5] Most art historians date it to around 1567, and it is first mentioned in the Uffizi inventory in 1635/8.[6][7]

Iconography


Happiness is represented as a young woman in the centre of the painting with Cupid, representing love.[8] Prudence and Justice stand on either side of her, whilst the conquered enemies of peace and Fortune, with her wheel, lie at her feet.[9][10] Graham Smith argues that this ideal state of happiness is Florence, and that it celebrates Cosimo I for the great public well-being of the time.[11]
