After having secured much of what today is central and northern Peru, the Inca have expanded their empire into Ecuador. With a new king, Tupac Inca, they begin to expand southward into Chile, Bolivia and Argentina.
Painting by Piero della Francesca: The Brera Madonna, (also known as the Pala di Brera, the Montefeltro Altarpiece or Brera Altarpiece), executed in 1472–1474. It is housed in the Pinacoteca di Brera of Milan, where it was deposited by Napoleon. The work, of a type known as a sacra conversazione, was commissioned by Federico III da Montefeltro, Duke of Urbino, to celebrate the birth of Federico's son, Guidobaldo. According to other sources, it would celebrate his conquest of several castles in the Maremma.
Painting by Andrea del Verrocchio and Leonardo da Vinci:The Baptism of Christ, an oil-on-panel painting finished around 1475 in the studio of the Italian Renaissance painter Andrea del Verrocchio and generally ascribed to him and his pupil Leonardo da Vinci. Some art historians discern the hands of other members of Verrocchio's workshop in the painting as well. The picture depicts the Baptism of Jesus by John the Baptist as recorded in the Biblical Gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke. The angel to the left is recorded as having been painted by the youthful Leonardo, a fact which has excited so much special comment and mythology, that the importance and value of the picture as a whole and within the oeuvre of Verrocchio is often overlooked. Modern critics also attribute much of the landscape in the background to Leonardo as well. The painting is housed in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence.
Painting by Leonardo da Vinci:The Annunciation, painted c. 1472–1476. This is L Open Access 01.09.2023 | Observational Research verfasst von: W. R. Albury, G. M. Weisz Erschienen in: Rheumatology International | Ausgabe 9/2024 Representations of disease in Renaissance paintings have been discussed in medical literature, in the context of historical epidemiology, as potential sources of information about the incidence and appearance of particular conditions in earlier times. The present study seeks to show how Renaissance art can also contribute to historical nosology by casting light on the question of whether particular conditions recognized as abnormal today were understood as pathological in the past. The hands of two Renaissance Madonna figures are examined in sculptures produced by Francesco di Simone Ferrucci (1437–1493). Because the Virgin Mary was considered physically perfect by believers, and because Francesco was a successful producer of devotional sculptures for a wide audience, it is highly probable that any abnormal conditions found in the hands of Madonnas sculpted by him would not have been regarded as pathological at the time. The sculptures examined appear to depict camptodactyly and boutonniere deformity in the hands of Madonna figures. These uncommon conditions are also found in Renaissance artworks that show other individuals of high social status, but their presence in the hands of the Madonna gives the strongest indication that they were not considered pathological, due to religious belief in the Virgin’s physical perfection. Examination of Madonna figures in late fifteenth century Renaissance art can contribute to historical nosology by identifying abnormal conditions that were not regarded as pathological at the time. The examples of such conditions identified in the present study are camptodactyly and boutonniere defo Judith was familiar to Renaissance Florentines and had marked civic relevance. Both were seen as liberators of their people from tyrants, a n d examplars of the triumph of humility over pride. Although small, Antonio del Pollaiuolo’s bronze is monumental in its conception and design. Judith triumphantly brandishes Holofern e s ’ own sword, with which she slew him, and the wind-blown drapery dramatises her pose and enlivens her silhouette. The work is an early example of the revival of the independent bronze statuette, which was a type of sculpture very popular with the ancient Romans.

Tobias and the Angel, workshop of Andrea del Verrocchio
Pazzi conspirators, in a failed attempt to topple the Medici family from their dominant position in Florentine
p o l i t i c s. The turtle dove on the window sill is a symbol of mourning, and the broken branch is possibly a reference to Giuliano’s life, cut short violently at the age of 25. Lorenzo purposefully kept Giuliano’s memory alive in poetry and commemorative medals, as well as painting. In addition to this exhibition of the art of 1470s Florence, the National Gallery has organised a small show around Botticelli’s Mystic Nativity, to mark the millennium. Painted in 1500, at the end of a decade of t u rmoil and political crisis after Lorenzo’s death in 1492, the work reflects the very different, pious mood among Florentine citizens, who were g a l vanised by the prophecies and apocalyptic sermons of Girolamo Savonarola, the Dominican prior of San Marco.
