Rare Raphael Portrait To Be Sold At Auction

“A painting by Renaissance artist Raphael is expected to fetch £15m when it is sold in London later this summer. The portrait, of Florentine ruler Lorenzo de’ Medici, has not been seen in public for 40 years – but will be displayed at Christie’s from 30 June. The auctioneer describes the work as the most important Renaissance portrait to be sold at auction for a generation.”
