Pinacoteca di Brera
Housing one of Italy's finest collections of medieval and
Renaissance art, the 17th-century Pinacoteca di Brera is by far the
best collection of northern Italian paintings. Many of the
masterpieces here were secured by Napoleon, who used the Palazzo as
a storeroom for all the art he confiscated from public and private
holdings. A bronze sculpture in his likeness greets visitors as
they enter the courtyard. Three of Italy's great masterpieces can
be found here, namely Andrea Mantegna's
Dead Christ, Raphael's
Betrothal of the Virgin, and Piero della Francesca's
Madonna with Saints(the
Montefeltro Altarpiece).
