DRAWINGS 109
On grey prepared paper ; silver point; pen and bistre ; heightened
with white. 0.270 x 0.117. Collections, Sir Anthony Westcombe,
Robinson, Malcolm. Considered by Mr. Robinson (op. cit. p. 121) the
work of Domenico Morone.
A copy from the figure of St. Peter in the altar-piece
at Cartigliano.
London. Collection of Mr. C. Fairfax Murray.
The Drunkenness of Noah.
To the left of the centre of the drawing, Noah is seen, seated on a
rock. By threading his left arm between the branch and the trunk
of a dead tree, he has got a support for his incapable body ; his beautiful,
long-bearded head has sunk forward ; he is fast asleep. One of the
good sons is kneeling on the rock to the right of his father, covering
his nakedness. To the left, another one is standing, looking at what is
happening with pain, raising his left hand. At the corresponding place
to the right Ham is seen pointing at Noah. Rocky background. In
the lower right corner an old inscription : Albor Dur. On vellum ;
pen and bistre; washed with purple. Reproduced in Murray, A
Selection from the Collection of Drawings by the Old Masters formed by
C. Fairfax Murray, pl. 56.
That this very remarkable drawing is by Montagna
seems evident from the landscape, the types, the hands,
the draperies and the composition. For a hypothesis
concerning the purpose of it, see supra, p. 7, n. 3.
It has nothing to do with a picture of the same subject
attributed to Giovanni Bellini and at present in the
Galerie Gigoux at Besan^on, as I conclude from a
sketch of the latter work, kindly sent to me by M. P.
Giacomotti. I hear there was a contemporary replica
of the above drawing for sale in 1907 at Messrs.
Colnaghi’s.
Munich. Kupferstichkabinet. The Virgin between
two Angels.
The Virgin stands on some clouds, with her arms outstretched
looking towards heaven. To the left of her, an angel is holding a scroll,
to the right, another is looking up to the Madonna, with her right hand
on her breast. The latter figure is less finished than the others.
