Round 6: Tossup 14

A set of three paintings called this city’s “perspectives” by Hubert Damisch features a painted loggia separating the viewer from the title place in an “architectural view.” An ostrich egg hangs from a half dome in a painting that shows a duke of this city kneeling. (-5[1])A painting from this city dubbed the “greatest small painting in the world” by Kenneth Clark may depict Murad II and John VII Palaeologus spectating the title figure. The Flagellation of Christ in this city was painted by Piero della Francesca. In a painting, a duke of this city is depicted with a half-missing nose facing his wife Battista Sforza. This city titles a painting that shows a maid rummaging through a chest behind a nude woman, who looks at the viewer and lies down next to a sleeping dog. For 10 points, name this Italian city whose “Venus” was painted (10[1])by Titian. ■END■ (10[1]0[2])
