  • Elena Setti asked

    Greetings,
    I'm Elena Setti, a student of Art History at the University of Florence. I'm writing my degree thesis on Lecceto. I am contacting you to kindly ask, if possible, for a photo of the back of the painting "The Nativity with Filippo Strozzi" which could be useful for study purposes.
    I thank you in advance and wish you a good continuation,
