THE GROSVENOR GALLERY.
255
PIETRO DA CORTONA, b. 1596 ; d. 1669. [One of the last and
worst painters of the degenerate Roman school.]
52 The Virgin and Child, with St. Catherine.—
The Infant is about to place the marriage wreath upon her
head. Figures half length; landscape background.
C. 2 ft. 10 in. by 2 ft. 5 in.
53 Hagar in the Desert.—At once theatrical and com-
mon-place. P. 3 ft. 8 in. by 4 ft. 10 in.
PARMIGIANO, more properly PARMIGIANINO, (Francesco
Mazzuoli), b. 1504; d. 1556. [A painter of great genius, but un-
equal. In his emulation of Raphael and Correggio, apt to be exag-
gerated in drawing and affected in expression; yet capable of rising
to the highest conception of sublimity and beauty, as in his famous
Moses and Eve of the Steccata at Parma.]
54 The Marriage of St. Catherine.-—The Virgin, seen
in profile and seated, holds the infant Saviour, who, while
he turns to look up in his mother’s face, places the ring on
the hand of St. Catherine, who leans her left hand on the
wheel. In the opposite corner is seen the head of St.
Joseph, also in profile. A very graceful and well known
little picture, with a tincture of that affectation in the ex-
pression, and extreme lengthiness in the forms, which cha-
racterised the master. It was formerly in the Borghese
Palace at Rome, whence it was brought by W. Young
Ottley, and passed into the possession of W. Morland,
Esq., from whom it was purchased. There is a larger pic-
ture of the same subject in the possession of Lord Nor-
manton. Copper. 8J in. by 6f in.
55 The Vision of St. Jerome.—A beautiful finished
study for the large picture now in the National Gallery,
No. 33. P. 17 in. by 13 in.
PERUGINO (Pietro), b. 1446 ; d. 1524. [The chief painter of the
Umbrian school, and master of Raphael, whom he survived. The
profound religious feeling and tender contemplative grace which dis-
tinguished the Umbrian school of art, were carried by Perugino to
a high degree of perfection.]
