Division II.—Drawings and Sketches.

199. The Virgin, John the Baptist, Holy Women, and Disciples at
the foot of Calvary.
Pen and indigo wash heightened with white.
From the Esdaile collection.
Academical work of a somewhat pedantic kind, of which the ascription to
Annibale can hardly be regarded as certain (M. 253).
Giovanni Francesco BARBIERI (Guercino).
Painter: Bolognese School: b. 1590, d. 1666: worked chiefly at his native
place Cento and at Bologna : also at Rome, Piacenza, and Modena.
200. Cleopatra with the Asp.
Red chalk.
From the Bouverie collection.
(M. 269).
201. Sketch for a composition of the Rescue of a Captive.
Bistre wash.
From the Jenkins collection.
(M. 271).
202. Sketch for a composition of the Holy Family with boy Angels.
Pen and bistre wash.
From the Bouverie collection.
(M. 266).
Guercino was a tediously prolific draughtsman, by whom many hundreds,
perhaps thousands, of authentic examples exist. The three here given
represent the best of his skill in various manners.
Giovanni Francesco GRIMALDI.
Painter and etcher, chiefly of landscapes: Bolognese School: b. 1606, d.
1680: trained in the academy of the Carracci: much influenced also by
Titian: worked at Bologna, Rome, and Paris.
203. Landscape, with the Magdalen in penitence.
Pen and bistre.
Strictly imitative (like all the landscape studies of this school) of Titian
and Campagnola. Alike in painting and drawing, Grimaldi was merely
the mechanical putter in practice of a borrowed receipt (M. 275).
Francesco ALBANO.
Painter of mythological and devotional subjects: Bolognese School: b. 1578,
d. 1660 : pupil of Denis Calvaert and of the Carracci: worked principally
at Bologna, also at Florence and Rome.
204. The Death of Adonis.
Pen and bistre with bistre wash.
From the Lord Spencer collection.
An agreeable and very characteristic example of perhaps the most attractive
of the Bolognese painters (M. 256).
The next five examples, concluding the Italian series, are drawn miscel-
laneously from the schools of Parma, Naples, and Florence.
