No. 48. LORENZO GARBIERI. Nat. 1580, ob. 1654.
THE HOLY FAMILY.
Th is little picture possesses a breadth and elegance of style scarcely
inferior, except in force of colouring, to Lodovico Caracci, of whom
Garbieri was the disciple. Joseph has been caressing the infant, and
is represented returning it to its mother, who, with an expression full
of sweetness, extends her arms to receive the sacred charge.
It is painted on canvas, measures 10 inches in height, by 8 i inches
in width.
No. 49. GUIDO RENI. Nat. 1575, ob. 1642.

picture before us represents that of Mary Magdalen; who, looking up,
her cheek supported by her left hand, seems lost in contemplating the
divine love of him who said, “ Woman, thy sins are forgiven thee.”
It is painted on canvas; measures 1 foot 7 i inches in height, by
1 foot 3 inches in width, and was formerly in the Orleans collection.

sweetness and complacency on his countenance, that it is evident his
