A portrait of this person by Cristofano dell’Altissimo strongly resembles a painting found in a cupboard in 2009, the Lucan portrait. A portrait of this person was hidden away from Turin’s Royal Library to prevent Adolf Hitler from staring into its eyes and gaining strength. A Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres painting (-5[1])shows Francis I cradling this (-5[1])person (15[2])in a deathbed. (15[2])This person modeled as the Archangel Raphael in the painting Tobias and the Angel by his mentor (15[1])(*) Verrocchio. (10[4])A Codex on the Flight (10[1])of (10[1])Birds contains one of many portraits of this person done in red chalk and with wispy, flowing hair. (-5[1])A figure physically modeled on this (-5[1])non-Greek person holds a copy of the Timaeus and points a finger into the air; (-5[1])that figure (-5[1])is Plato (-5[2])from Raphael’s School of Athens. For (10[1])10 points, name this artist who may have depicted a feminized self-portrait in his Mona Lisa. (10[2])■END■ (10[11])
