Saint Sebastian Francesco Botticini (Francesco di Giovanni) Italian The picture was purchased as a work of Andrea del Castagno. The treatment of the landscape, however, is uncharacteristic of Castagno's work, as is the feebly constructed figure. The closest affinities of style are with works by Francesco Botticini (about 1446-97), who seems to have been active in the workshop of Verrocchio in the late 1460s. Although the picture has been dated as early as 1465, it seems to depend from a famous altarpiece by Botticelli of 1473-74 in the Gemäldegalerie, Berlin-Dahlem. The picture has suffered considerable damage. In addition to a large loss running through the torso of the saint, the picture has been massively abraded through overcleaning. The form to the right of the saint is a pentimento.. Saint Sebastian. Francesco Botticini (Francesco di Giovanni) (Italian, Florentine, ca. 1446-1497). Tempera and oil on wood. Paintings

In Greek and Roman mythology, Athena, also spelled Athene, was the Olympian goddess of wisdom and good counsel, war, the defense of towns, heroic endeavor, weaving, pottery and various other crafts. Her symbol was the owl. She was depicted as a stately woman armed with a shield and spear, and wearing a long robe, crested helm, and the famed aigisa snake-trimmed cape adorned with the monstrous visage of the Gorgon Medusa

Commentary on the Apocalypse (Commentaria In Apocalypsin) was originally an eighth century work by the Spanish monk and theologian Beatus of Liebana. Today, it refers to any of the extant manuscript copies of this work, especially any of the 26 illuminated copies that have survived. It is often referred to simply as the Beatus. The historical significance of the Commentary is made even more pronounced since it included a world map, which offers a rare insight into the geographical understanding of the post-Roman world. Well-known copies include the Morgan, the Saint-Sever, the Gerona, the Osma and the Madrid (Vitr 14-1) Beatus codices. Considered together, the Beatus codices are among the most important Spanish medieval manuscripts and have been the subject of extensive scholarly and antiquarian enquiry.

Valentinian I (321-375), also known as Valentinian the Great, was the son of Gratianus Major, a commander under emperors Constantine I and Constans I. Valentinian became the last emperor to conduct campaigns across the Danube and Rhine rivers. His successes and the rapid decline that occurred after his death led many to consider Valentinian the 'last great western emperor'. He died in 375.
