Piero's own idea, that masterpiece was one of the few the Museum could lay its hands on that it considered worthy of hanging with such possessions as Filippo Lippi's Madonna & Child, François Clouet's Elizabeth of Valois. No less choice was the head of a Greek girl in Parian marble, 4th Century B.C., which the Museum snagged in June, The Boston Museum has the only other life-size fragment in the world which critics consider comparable...
