The Belle Ferronière is a painting by Leonardo da Vinci, painted in Milan between 1490 and 1499. The Belle (French for "the beautiful one") wears a ferronière, a narrow diadem with an attached jewel, which is worn centered on the forehead.

The Sistine Madonna, created between 1513 and 1514 by the Renaissance master Raphael Sanzio, is a work that has transcended the boundaries of time and religion to become a universal icon of beauty and spirituality. The painting was commissioned by Pope Julius II for the monastery of San Sisto in Piacenza, as a personal tribute. Julius II belonged to the powerful Della Rovere family, and through this work, he sought to honor his family and religious devotion. The piece was made to be part of the high altar of the monastery church, a place that became its home for two centuries.
