(75.9 x 53 cm). Date: ca. 1488.This dynastic portrait shows the Florentine banker Francesco Sassetti (1421-1490) and his young son Teodoro, born in 1479. Teodoro was named after his elder brother, who died that same year. Sassetti managed the Medici banks in Avignon, Geneva, and Lyons and was an advisor to Piero de' Medici and Lorenzo the Magnificent. The combination of full face and profile gives the picture a decidedly formal quality, in keeping with its function as a commemoration of a loss and regeneration. The background shows an oratory built by Sassetti in Geneva. The head and figure of Sassetti are much repainted.

Seville. SPAIN.Emperor Lizong (1205-1264) was the 14th emperor of the Song Dynasty of China, and the fifth emperor of the Southern Song. His personal name was Zhao Yun. He reigned from 1224 to 1264. Lizong's long reign of forty years did little to improve the predicament Song China was in at the time. Lizong was uninterested in governmental affairs and for the first decade of his rule he delegated matters into the hands of his ministers notably Shi Miyuan who acted as a de facto ruler in the absence of the Lizong Emperor. After Shi's death in 1233, Lizong assumed full authority briefly but again quickly abandoned the responsibility of ruling and delegated matters to his prime minister Ding Da Quan in order to pursue personal enjoyment. It was said that Lizong frequented brothels as well as invited prostitutes into the palace which was vehemently opposed by his loyal ministers. Notable events during Lizong's reign included the demise of the Jin dynasty in 1234 that was obliterated by the joint forcesPortrait of Napoleon Bonaparte by Anne Louis Girodet de Roucy Trioson, oil on canvas, 1808, 1767-1824, USA, Bayonne, Musee Bonnat, 45x29FELIPE "EL BUENO" DUQUE DE BORGOÑA (1396-1467) - FUNDADOR DE LA ORDEN DEL TOISON DE ORO.

His prints established his reputation across Europe when he was still in his twenties, and he has been conventionally regarded as the greatest artist of the Northern Renaissance ever since. Durer's introduction of classical motifs into Northern art, through his knowledge of Italian artists and German humanists, have secured his reputation as one of the most important figures of the Northern Renaissance. This is reinforced by his theoretical treatises, which involve principles of mathematics, perspective and ideal proportions.Portrait of a Nobleman with a Falcon, by Hans Holbein the Younger, 1542, Royal Art Gallery, Mauritshuis Museum, The Hague, Netherlands, Europe
