Portrait of a Boy (Perugino)
Portrait of a Boy is a 1495 oil on panel portrait, now in the Uffizi in Florence. In the past it has been attributed to Lorenzo di Credi, Viti, Jacopo Francia, Raphael and others, but Giovanni Morelli's reattribution of it to Perugino is now widely accepted. Although the lack of a landscape background is unusual for this painter, the style is typical of his portrait technique.

gollark: Our robot is just using L293D things with the possibly very underpowered motors.
gollark: I mean, we're not approaching the limits of the Pi's computing power or anything, it's just nontrivial to do things.
gollark: Good for them?
gollark: It's the holidays now and I don't actually have the hardware, so I'm going to research OpenCV stuff, come up with a nice way to remote-control it, and look into better motors.
gollark: Currently all it can do usefully is move slightly, the ultrasonic sensor/accelerometer thing aren't hooked up to this Pi.
