DOMENICHINO (Zampieri), b. 1581; d. 1641.
13 The Youthful Christ—with the instruments of the
Passion. A small picture from West’s collection.
14 Landscape—with the fable of Apollo and Marsyas.
From West’s collection.
15 Landscape—with the story of Tobit and the Fish.
16 A Landscape—called “ The Bird-catchers.” From
the Borghese Palace.* 16 in..by 21 in.
GIORGIONE (Barbarelli), b. 1477 ; d. 1511.
[This great painter originated that fervid style of colour, which
distinguished the Venetian school. See pp. 245 and 302.]
17 Portrait of a Young Knight—called “Gaston de
Foix.” A small full length, in armour, the head bare;
the face seen in front, and full of melancholy sentiment;
the left hand on his lance. Very noble in the figure and
expression, and painted with great force and richness. Tt
is apparently a study of armour, and has been attributed
to Raphael. P. 15 in. by 11 in.f
GIOTTO DI BONDONE, b. 1267 ; d. 1336. [A scholar of Cima-

18 St. John and St. Paul.—Half figures, less than life,
being fragments of a fresco painting, in the church of the
Carmelites, at Florence, executed by Giotto about 1295.

this little picture, is still common in Italy.
+ On the back of the picture is the following inscription :—“ Figure tiree
d’un tableau du Giorgione d’une Ste Vierge assise sur les nuees, avec St. Fran-
cois, et la presente qu’on pretend etre Gaston de Foix; le tableau est a Castel
Franco, dans le Trevisane. Cette note est de Mons. Mariette.” Castel-Franco
was the birthplace of Giorgione. If this figure represent Gaston de Foix, it
must be in the character of one of the warlike saints—probably St. George or
St. Maurice.
