BRIDGEWATER HOUSE.
Letter XIII.
Balthasar Peruzzi.—The Adoration of the Kings (No. 85).
In the style of Raphael's school, with his own well-known capri-
cious additions of turbans and other strange costumes. The design
is Peruzzi's, but the execution belongs to a master of the Ferrarese
school. From the Orleans Gallery.
Mazzolino di Ferrara.—The Circumcision of Christ, from
Mr. Coningham's collection. Like all the specimens I have seen
from this collection, a genuine and fine picture.
Sassoferrato.—The Madonna (No. 9); a careful and genuine
specimen of this devotional picture so often repeated by him.
Pannini.—The interior of a picture gallery (No. 5 ), and a
view of the interior of St. Peter's with a procession (No. 6).
These are among the best works by this painter.
Lombard School.
Bernardino Luini.—A beautiful female head, warm in colour-
ing, in the well-known style of Leonardo da Vinci, and accordingly
so called when in the Orleans Gallery (No. 49).
Correggio.—An old and good copy of the Vierge au Panier,
in the National Gallery. In the Orleans Gallery it passed for
the original, and has the advantage of being in better preservation
(No. 42).
Parmigianino.—1. A moderate example of Cupid making
his bow (No. 295), which is so often met with; formerly in the
collection of Queen Christina, and in the Orleans Gallery ; the
original, which is unhappily much injured, being in the Belvedere
at Vienna.
2. A picture of the Virgin and Child, St. John, and Mary Mag-
dalen, differs very much, both in the characters and colouring,
from this master, and may perhaps be by another of the able
imitators of Correggio (No. 20).
Sciiidone.—The Virgin teaching the infant Christ to read.
The invention, as usual in this late imitator of Correggio, is poor,
but the warm brownish chiaroscuro is of great depth and force.
From the Orleans Gallery.
Venetian School.
Titian.—1. The three Ages of Life (No. 77). In an agreeable
landscape a beautiful fair girl is seated, in sweet converse with her
