544 Known Masters and their Immediate Followers.
There are a few other prints in the school of Raphael and Marc-
antonio which have been attributed to our engraver (e.g. two plates
of the Sibyls of S. Maria della Pace, B. xv. p. 48 No. 51, and p. 49, 6),
but the grounds for such attribution are generally very slight, even
in the case os some of those cited by Passavant. Bartsch describes
nine numbers (including two with the series of Agostino Veneziano).
To these Passavant added nine more (P. 8-16). Of these the
following may be rejected :—
15 : by Jacopo de’ Barbari.
9: placed in the British Museum with miscellaneous and uncertain
schools, later period (F. II. 10).
P. 12 and 13, which find a place in the following catalogue, are
uncertain but possible attributions.
P. 16 {Lamentation on the death of Gattamelata}, described by
Brulliot, Dictionnaire, vol. II. No. 1433. Impression not known.
The same composition occurs in a print by Allart Claesz (B. ix.
p. 130, No. 30), dated 1533. There is a drawing in the Wallace
Collection which is probably the original of the composition. It
is quite in the manner of Pollaiuolo, but seems the work of a later
hand. The subject is a somewhat poorly connected medley of nude
studies, and it is doubtful whether any definite scene of mourning
was intended.
Another craftsman of the period used the same initials I f : viz.
the engraver of the Marriage of Vertummis and Pomona, B. xv.

He is a poorer engraver, exaggerating the mannerism of Pontormo
in his treatment of human form, in contrast to the suave forms
derived by Jacopo Francia from his father and from Raphael. Is it
possible that Brulliot’s Gattamelata print, if indeed it ever existed, is
by this engraver ?

In the centre a semale saint, aureoled, stands in sull face, holding
before her a framed picture os the Virgin and Child, round which runs
the inscription : ab omni malo defendi [t]vvm popvlvm. In the sore-
