1515 (ca.), Raphael (Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino), Portrait of Baldassare Castiglione (1478-1529), Italian writer and diplomat -- Louvre Museum (Paris)
From the museum label: Castiglione, author of the famous Book of the Courtier (1528), was a friend of Raphael's. The sitter's natural but powerful presence and discreetly elegant costume make this portrait an ideal representation of the perfect courtier described in the book.
