Portrait of Giuliano de Medici 1475 Tempera on panel, 54 x 36 cm Accademia Carrara, Bergamo Three similar portraits of Giuliano still exist. In contrast to the version in Washington, the portraits that are now in Bergamo and Berlin were probably not created until after Giuliano's assassination during the Pazzi conspiracy in 1478, when copies would have been ordered by friends and relatives as commemorative portraits.
