was, till lately, the brightest ornament of the city of Parma ; it is now
in the magnificent gallery of the Louvre. The copy, though it pos-
sesses not the ambient hue and magic of the original, is executed in a
correct and masterly manner. In the catalogue of the Orleans collection,
to which it formerly appertained, it is ascribed to the pencil of Annibale
Caracci.
This picture is on canvas, and measures 6 feet7i inches in height,
by 5 feet three inches in width.
No. 2. ANTONIO DA COREGGIO.
THE MARRIAGE OF ST. CATHARINE.
A copy of a celebrated little picture in the king of Naples’s collec-
tion, manifestly inferior, however, to what might have been expected
from the feeling pencil of Lodovico Caracci, to whom it is attributed.
It is painted on canvas, and measures 11| inches in height, by
9 inches in width, and was formerly in the Orleans collection.
No. 3. ANTONIO DA COREGGIO.
THE HOLY FAMILY.
This little picture is styled in the Orleans catalogue, La Vierge au
Panzer, from the introduction of a basket in the left corner of the
picture. The Madonna is seated on a bank nearly in front; with an
expression full of sweetness she caresses the infant, who is playing in
her lap. In the background Joseph is seen following his occupation of
a carpenter. The whole, though somewhat feeble in point of effect, is
painted with great softness and union of colour.
This picture, which has been transferred from board to canvas,
measures 1 foot 1 inch in height, by 9S inches in width.
