Question

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 shows Francis I cradling this person in a death bed. This person (15[1])modeled as the Archangel Raphael (15[1])in the painting Tobias and the Angel by his mentor (*) Verrocchio. A Codex on the Flight of Birds contains one of many portraits of this person done in red chalk and with wispy, flowing hair. A figure physically (10[1])modeled on this non-Greek person holds a copy of the Timaeus and points a finger into the air; that figure is Plato from Raphael’s School of Athens. For 10 points, name this artist who may have depicted a feminized self-portrait in his Mona Lisa. ■END■
