Bianca de’ Medici usually known as Bia de’ Medici (c. 1536 – 1 March 1542) was the illegitimate daughter of Cosimo I de’ Medici Grand Duke of Tuscany born before his first marriage.After her death of a fever at about the age of six some art historians believe her father commissioned a painting of her by Agnolo Bronzino that is one of his most famous works. The posthumous painting of Bia has inspired works of art by modern artists such as American sculptor Joseph Cornell.
