Unknown title by Lippi

Debate Over the Trinity by del Sarto
Debate Over the Trinity by Andrea del Sarto.
Mystery Assumption by del Sarto
Annoyingly unsatisfactory shot of what I am assuming is Assumption of the Virgin by Andrea del Sarto.
Mystery Assumption by del Sarto
Slightly less unsatisfactory alternative Assumption of the Virgin by Andrea del Sarto.
St. Sebastian by Guercino
St. Sebastian by Guercino.

Portrait of the Dward Morgante (front) by Bronzino
Portrait of the Dwarf Morgante (front) by Bronzino, circa 1550. These are so insane by modern sensibilities I had to include them. True facts: 1. Cosimo d'Medici had a "favorite dwarf," meaning, I suppose, there were a number of them about the court. 2. Not only was Morgante the favorite dwarf, I believe he was also Cosimo's falconer.
Portrait of the Dward Morgante (back) by Bronzino
Portrait of the Dwarf Morgante (back) by Bronzino, circa 1550. More facts: 3. Not only did Cosimo have TWO paintings commissioned, he had a statue made of Morgante astride a giant turtle that's at the end of the Vasari Corridor. You can't make this stuff up.
Mary Magdalen Brought to Heaven by Cagnacci
Mary Magdalen Brought to Heaven by Guido Cagnacci.
Deposition from the Cross by del Sarto
Deposition from the Cross by Andrea del Sarto.
Holy Family by del Sarto
Holy Family by Andrea del Sarto. I though the photo was blurry but the frame edges are not, so del Sarto must have wanted it that way.

Portrait of Pope Julius II by Titian, copied from Rafael's original.
St. Phillip Neri by Maratta
St. Phillip Neri by Carlo Maratta.
Ceiling fresco from the Venus Room in the Galleria Palatina by da Cortona
