With the exception of the Salviati I can't say I love any of the paintings here, but each has at least something interesting, whether it's oddball cherubs or that stiff early renaissance feel.

The Trinity wiht Saints Benedict and John Gualbert by Baldovinetti
The Trinity wiht Saints Benedict and John Gualbert by Alessio Baldovinetti, 1470 - 1472. Check out those weird little body-less cherubs!
Assumption of the Virgin and portraits by Il Perugino
Assumption of the Virgin; Portrait of Don Biagio Milanesi; Portrait of Monk Baldassarre by Il Perugino, 1500. Maybe he got the idea for the cherubs from Baldovinetti.
The Annunciation by Mariotto Albertinelli
The Annunciation by Mariotto Albertinelli, 1510.
Dispute of the Church Fathers on the Immaculate Concepction by Sogliani
Dispute of the Church Fathers on the Immaculate Concepction by Giovanni Sogliani, circa 1534.
Madonna and Child, the Young St. John and an Angel by Il Salviati
Madonna and Child, the Young St. John and an Angel by Il Salviati, 1543 - 1548.
The Immaculate Conception by Portelli
The Immaculate Conception by Carlo Portelli, 1566.
St. Peter Healing a Lame Man by Cosimo Gamberucci
St. Peter Healing a Lame Man by Cosimo Gamberucci, 1599.
David by Michelangelo
David by Michelangelo, circa 1501 - 1504. From this angle the head is only slightly oversized.
Prisoner, unfinished, by Michelangelo
Prisoner (unfinished) by Michelangelo. He's definitely imprisoned in that rock!
2nd Prisoner, unfinished, by Michelangelo
Prisoner (unfinished) by Michelangelo. The two prisoners were intended for the tomb of Pope Julius II.
Another Pietá by Michelangelo
Pietá by Michelangelo. He sure made a lot of these!
Venus Entering the Bath by Pampaloni
Venus Entering the Bath by Luigi Pampaloni, 1836 - 1838. Poor Venus seems condemned to forever be caught undressed and with a single breast exposed!
Lots of sculptures by Bartolini
A whole room filled with statues and sculptures, many of them by Lorenzo Bartolini. The closest one is Vow of the Innocent, 1848.
