#Raphael Sanzio da Urbino was born & died #OTD (6 Apr 1483 – 6 Apr 1520). His depiction of Justice in the #Vatican's Sala di Costantino #fresco #mural (c.1519-20) replaces her traditional sword with...an #ostrich. Anybody know why? 🤔(Hint: think possible #AncientEgypt influences...)

Still at the V&A: the stony profile and flying ribbons of 28 year old Francesco Cinzio Benincasa, poet laureate, Hungarian diplomat and humanist. Made probably somewhere near Urbino by an unknown artist in the late 1470s.
