POPE JULIUS II
GIULIANO DELLA ROVERE
1443-1513
Reduced from a part of Braun's photograph (no. 42.079) of the portrait, in the Pitti Gallery at Florence, by Raphael (1483 - 1520). Of two similar portraits, one is in the Uffizi Gallery at Florence, and the other is in the National Gallery at London. Both Passavant and Morelli affirmed the superior authenticity of the picture here presented, which is believed to have been painted for the Duke of Urbino.
