This life-sized mask is from the statue of Giuliano de Medici (duke de Nemours) at his tomb in the Medici Chapel (Cappella Medicea). The statue sits in a niche across from a statue of his nephew, Lorenzo de Medici (duke di Urbino). Not regarded as portraits, the figures of Giuliano and Lorenzo represent action and reflection, respectively.
