numerous highly - gifted pupils? We do not think that the
question can be answered at the present moment. We will
perhaps have to wait till an Exhibition of landscape paintings
of the time of Patenier allows us to make fruitful comparisons.

Jerome wearing a large violet mantle, is not done by Patenier,
— and this is the case with many pictures by this master, —

and workmanship to those in the Baptism of Christ in Vienna :
for instance, in the rendering of the light effects on the
waters of the river and the treatment of the banks and
bushes, on the right; the general arrangement, the perspective
of the shades on the ground, testify to affinities with pictures
which Mr. Friedlander and Mr. Baldass do not hesitate to
attribute to the Master himself, for instance, the Martyrdom
of Saint Catharine at the Vienna Museum, and the Ascension
of Saint Mary - Magdalen in the former Crespi collection in
