"Bia, The Illegitimate Daughter of Cosimo I de' Medici" is a portrait painting by the Italian Mannerist artist Agnolo Bronzino, dated to around 1542. The artwork is a depiction of Bia de' Medici, the illegitimate daughter of Cosimo I de' Medici, Duke of Florence, and his mistress, a woman of unknown identity. The painting is one of the few representations of Bia, who died at a young age, and it serves as a poignant reminder of her brief life and her place within the powerful Medici family.

The portrait is executed in Bronzino's characteristic style, which is known for its elegance, precision, and cool color palette. It shows the young Bia in a three-quarter pose, dressed in luxurious garments that reflect her father's wealth and status. Her attire typically includes a richly embroidered dress and fine jewelry, indicating her noble lineage despite her illegitimacy. The child's serene and composed expression, along with her direct gaze, imbues the painting with a sense of dignity and poise.

As a court painter to Cosimo I, Bronzino was tasked with creating images that not only captured the likenesses of the Medici family members but also conveyed their power and influence. "Bia, The Illegitimate Daughter of Cosimo I de' Medici" is a testament to Bronzino's skill in portraiture and his ability to infuse his subjects with both individual personality and the grandeur befitting their status.

The painting is significant in the study of Renaissance portraiture, as it reflects the social and cultural dynamics of the time, particularly in relation to the representation of women and children from noble families. It also offers insight into the personal lives of the Medici, a family that played a crucial role in the political and artistic landscape of 16th-century Italy.

Today, the portrait is held in a prominent art collection, and it continues to be the subject of scholarly research and public interest. It is often included in discussions of Bronzino's oeuvre and the broader context of Medici patronage during the Renaissance.
