The Death of Adonis (Sebastiano del Piombo)

The Death of Adonis is a 1512 oil on canvas painting by Sebastiano del Piombo, now in the Uffizi in Florence.

A 1520 inventory of the villa stated it contained "figures of more nude and beautiful women".

In the background, a panorama of Venice, the artist's hometown, can be seen, with famous monuments like the Doge's Palace and various churches.

In 1675 the painting was mentioned as being in cardinal Leopoldo de' Medici's collection, before passing to the Uffizi with a misattribution to Moretto, though Morelli restored the correct attribution.

Its swift restoration made it a sign of the Uffizi's resilience after the tragic event.
