One of the most influential individuals in the art worlds of Florence and Rome, the sculptor-turned-architect Giuliano da Sangallo (c. 1443-1516) was a member of the influential Sangallo family of artists. Piero di Cosimo's portrait of Giuliano, along with the matching portrait of his father, are indicative of the high regard in which Piero was held by his contemporaries.
