But Giuliano had his picture painted by Raphael once. That picture, once the property of Grand Duchess Marie of Russia, was bought by Manhattan Stockbroker Jules Semon Bache...
...summer in London with his daughter, wife of Theatrical Producer Gilbert Miller, Mr. Bache's lawyer summoned reporters, gave them news that within a year not only the Grand Duchess Marie but any other resident or visitor in Manhattan will be able to see Raphael's Giuliano de'Medici at almost any time.

The same Verrocchio who produced the mighty Colleoni has given us the forceful bust of Giuliano dei Medici. The sculptor has portrayed Lorenzo's brother as the victor in the great Tournament of 1475, the here of Politian's Stanze rejoicing in his youth and virile beauty.
