"Ferdinando II 1610-70 Grand Duke of Tuscany and Maria Ludovica de Medici with the Governess" is a notable painting by Justus Sustermans, a Flemish painter who became the court painter to the Medici family in Florence. Sustermans, known for his portraiture, captured many members of the Medici dynasty during his tenure, and this particular work is significant for its depiction of Ferdinando II de' Medici, Grand Duke of Tuscany, alongside his sister Maria Ludovica de' Medici, with their governess.

Ferdinando II de' Medici (1610–1670) was the grand duke of Tuscany from 1621 until his death. He was known for his patronage of the arts and sciences and for the advancements that occurred in Tuscany under his rule. His reign saw the completion of the Boboli Gardens, as well as the enhancement of the Palazzo Pitti and the development of the Accademia del Cimento, one of the first scientific societies in Europe.

Maria Ludovica de' Medici, Ferdinando's sister, is less well-documented in historical records, but her inclusion in this painting highlights the importance of family ties and the role of women in the Medici household. The presence of the governess further emphasizes the educational and nurturing environment in which the Medici children were raised.

The painting is a testament to Sustermans' skill in capturing the likeness and status of his subjects. His work is characterized by a keen attention to detail, rich coloration, and a clear understanding of the grandeur associated with the Medici family. As a historical document, the painting provides insight into the fashion, culture, and familial relationships of the 17th-century Tuscan court.

This artwork remains an important piece for art historians and those interested in the Medici dynasty, offering a window into the lives of one of the most influential families in European history. It is a valuable contribution to the oeuvre of Justus Sustermans and a testament to the enduring legacy of the Medici family's patronage of the arts.
