Round 5: 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 (-5[1])in a painting that shows a duke of this city kneeling. A painting from this city dubbed the “greatest small painting in the world” by Kenneth Clark (-5[1])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 (-5[1])city titles a painting that shows a maid rummaging through a chest behind a nude (10[1])woman, (10[1])who looks at the viewer and lies down next to a sleeping dog. (-5[1])For 10 points, name this Italian city whose “Venus” was painted by (10[1])Titian. (10[1])■END■ (10[2]0[2])
