"Ugolino Martelli" is a Renaissance portrait painting by the Italian artist Agnolo Bronzino, dated to around 1535. The artwork depicts Ugolino Martelli, a young member of a wealthy and cultured Florentine family, and is celebrated for its meticulous detail and the elegant representation of the sitter. The painting is executed in oil on wood panel and measures 102 cm by 85 cm. It is currently housed in the Gemäldegalerie, Berlin.

In this portrait, Bronzino showcases his mastery of form and color, as well as his ability to capture the intellectual spirit of the Florentine elite during the Italian Renaissance. Ugolino Martelli is portrayed seated, holding a book, which is likely a reference to his humanist interests and education. The book is often identified as Homer's "Iliad," suggesting Martelli's engagement with classical literature. The sitter's attire and surroundings reflect his status and the cultural environment of Florence at the time, characterized by a revival of interest in the art and philosophy of antiquity.

The painting is noted for its refined elegance and the cool, polished quality typical of Bronzino's work. The artist's use of smooth, almost sculptural modeling of the figure, along with the controlled palette and precise attention to textures, such as the sheen of the silk and the intricate pattern of the carpet, exemplify the Mannerist style that was prevalent in mid-16th century Florence.

Bronzino, a leading painter at the court of Duke Cosimo I de' Medici, was renowned for his portraits, which were highly sought after by the aristocracy. "Ugolino Martelli" stands as a testament to Bronzino's skill in capturing both the physical likeness and the intellectual demeanor of his subjects, making it an important work in the study of Renaissance portraiture.
