To give proper variety to this little collection, the selections are equally divided between portraits and “subject” pictures of religious or legendary character. The Flora, the Bella and the Philip II. show the painter’s most characteristic work in portraiture, while the Pesaro Madonna, the Assumption, and the Christ of the Tribute Money stand for his highest achievement in sacred art.
