GUIDOBALDO DI MONTEFELTRO

DUKE OF URBINO

1472-1508

From Alinari's photograph (no. 7351) of the portrait, in the Colonna Gallery at Rome, variously attributed to Raphael's father, Giovanni Santi (1440?- 1494), and (by Morelli) to Melozzo degli Ambrosi da Forli (1438- 1494). Schmarzow's iconographical identification of this portrait (formerly supposed to represent Raphael as a boy) is confirmed by its close resemblance to the young duke's features as shown on coins issued in the early years of his reign.
