Castelfranco. Tescari collection. The Virgin and,
Child between Saints Anthony the Abbot and Francis
Venice. Schiavoni collection. The Virgin and

be mentioned.
Venice. San Domenico. The Virgin Annunciate
and some Saints, in two compartments, on wood (1740).3
—Santi Giovanni e Paolo. St. Thomas Aquinas, seated
in cathedra in a hall, surrounded by some 'people (in-
cluding monks and a cardinal) to whom he explains
the scriptures* This painting is the only one by
Buonconsiglio which Vasari notices ; he speaks of it
as having been executed for the altar of the saint in
question.5 Several subsequent writers, viz. Ridolfi,6
Boschini,7 Martinelli,8 and finally the signature
D. L. G. S. V. (1705),9 say that it is appended to a
pilaster in the choir. Later on, a mutilation of the
1 Half-length figures. On wood. 0.65 x 0.93. Oggetti di belle
arti appartenenti alia famiglia Tescari di Casteljranco-Veneto, No. 349,

3 Boschini, Le minere della pittura, p. 165 ; idem, Le ricche minere
della pittura veneziana, Sest. C. p. 14; Martinelli, op. cit. p. 97;
D. L. G. S. V., op. cit. p. in. Cf. moreover the laconic statement

whom the Saint is disputing.

Bellini, mentioned by Sansovino (op. cit. p. 65) was that picture of the
master that was burned in 1867, not the one we are concerned with, as
sometimes has been supposed.
