Christie\'s London announced on May 21, 2007 that Lorenzo de\' Medici (1518), a portrait of sound provenance by renowned Italian Renaissance master Raffaello Sanzio, called Raphael (1483-1520), will be available for purchase as part of its Important Old Master and British Pictures auction on Thursday, July 5, 2007. On display at the esteemed auction house\'s King Street salerooms, beginning June 30, will be Raphael\'s painting, one of a handful by the artist still privately held.

He was also the nephew of Giovanni di Lorenzo de\' Medici (1475-1521), eventually elected Pope Leo X (r. 1513-21). Lorenzo II\'s uncle is best remembered for granting Cardinal Albrecht of Brandenburg (1490-1545) permission to sell indulgences (remissions from the temporal punishment in purgatory for sins already absolved by the Church) in the lands within his jurisdiction. The funds raised through their purchase by the...
