62. Virtue and Beauty. Florentine portraits.
Florence was the birthplace of the High Renaissance, but in the early 16th century the most important artists,
including Michelangelo and Raphael were attracted to Rome.
In part this was following the Medici, some of whom became cardinals and even the pope.
