Terra Cotta Bust of Lorenzo de' Medici, by Michael Angelo, 1850. Sculpture on display at an exhibition of ancient and medieval art held at '...the Society of Arts, in John-street, Adelphi, [London]...the bust of Lorenzo de’ Medici, executed in terra cotta by Michael Angelo, could not be more appropriately placed than amidst many of the chef-d'oeuvres of those very artists whose skill was acquired in the schools and ateliers of Florence founded and supported by his munificence and that of his illustrious family'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
