Portrait of a Woman Oil on copper, 37 x 27 cm
Galleria degli Uffizi, Florence

Alessandro di Cristofano di Lorenzo del Bronzino Allori (May 31, 1535 - September 22, 1607) was an Italian portrait painter of the Florentine school.

He was brought up and trained in art by his uncle, Angelo Bronzino, whose name he sometimes assumed in his pictures. Visiting Rome in his nineteenth year, he carefully studied the works of Michelangelo, but the influence of that great master can only be traced in the anatomical correctness of his drawing of nude figures.

He is the father of Cristofano Allori (1577-1621).
