OTTAVIANO UBALDINI

Died 1498

Enlarged from Braun's photograph (no. 19.553) of the painting, "Astronomy," by Melozzo degli Ambrosi da Forli (1438 - 1494) . The picture, of which this head is a detail, was one of a series of panels painted to decorate Duke Federico di Montefeltro's library in the palace of Urbino, but is now in the Royal Museum at Berlin. For iconographical identification, see Schmarzow's Melozzo da Forli, ein Beitrag sur Kunst- und Kulturgeschichte Italiens im XV Jahrhundert (Berlin: 1886), p. 84.
