Giuliano de' Medici was murdered in 1478 at the age of 25 during the Pazzi conspiracy in the Florence Cathedral or Duomo di Firenze. The Pazzi were rivals to the Medici. Giuliano de' Medici was the younger brother of Lorenzo il Magnifico. Other versions of this Sandro Botticelli portrait are in the Accademia Carrara,[2] Bergamo, Italy and the National Gallery of Art, Washington D.C.[3]
