📚Still reading Inventing the Renaissance, and Lorenzo de Medici’s brother Giuliano of course had a mention. Still, I wasn’t prepared for his bust being quite so metal.

A terracotta bust depicts a person in ornate armor with a detailed, expressive face at the center.A detailed stone carving depicts a mythical or dramatic face with an open mouth, surrounded by ornate leaf designs.

This is at the (not Smithsonian!) National Art Gallery in DC, which has a rich collection of renaissance works.
