"Portrait of Andrea Doria as Neptune" is a renowned painting by the Italian Mannerist artist Agnolo Bronzino, created between 1550 and 1555. This allegorical portrait depicts the Genoese admiral and statesman Andrea Doria, who was a prominent figure in the Mediterranean naval campaigns of the 16th century, in the guise of Neptune, the Roman god of the sea. The painting is a testament to Bronzino's skill in portraiture and his ability to infuse his subjects with both grandeur and psychological depth.

The work is executed in oil on canvas and is notable for its use of color, intricate detail, and the complex symbolism that was typical of the Mannerist period. Bronzino's portrayal of Doria as Neptune is not only a celebration of the admiral's naval prowess but also a reflection of the political power and influence he held. The choice to depict Doria as a god suggests the near-divine status that he had achieved in the eyes of his contemporaries.

In the painting, Doria is shown with a muscular physique, reminiscent of classical sculptures, and is adorned with a crown of seaweed, holding a trident – Neptune's traditional attribute. His gaze is commanding and direct, which, along with the calm sea and ship in the background, reinforces his mastery over the maritime domain. The work is imbued with allegorical meaning, as it conveys themes of power, control, and the humanistic ideal of the individual as a hero.

"Portrait of Andrea Doria as Neptune" is considered one of Bronzino's masterpieces and is a significant example of portraiture from the Italian Renaissance. It remains an important work for the study of 16th-century art and the cultural and political context of the time. The painting is also a key piece in understanding the evolution of the portrayal of historical figures in art, as it blends realism with the allegorical, a hallmark of Mannerist aesthetics.
