Raphael and the Beautiful Banker: The Story of the Bindo Altoviti Portrait
This gloriously illustrated book relates the tale of Raphael’s portrait of handsome young Bindo Altoviti and its adventurous passage through the centuries. At various times celebrated, dismissed, admired, and misunderstood, the painting was at last cleverly spirited out of Nazi Germany and donated to the National Gallery of Art in Washington, where all may now enjoy it.
