HAMPTON COURT PALACE.
Letter XXI.
Jupiter, No. 112 ; Jupiter and Juno, No. 114 ; and the Birth of
Juno, No. 116—belong to him only in the invention. The coarse
and slight execution is the work of his scholars.
113. Tintoretto.—2. A good male portrait; erroneously
imputed, in my opinion, to Titian. I cannot say whether it be
really the portrait of Ignatius Loyola.
115. Titian.—2. A portrait, supposed to be that of his uncle ;
of the deepest gold tones : it has, however, suffered injury.
119. Peter Snayers.—The Fight of Forty. Genuine and
spirited.
121. Gerard Honthorst.— 1. The Queen of Bohemia,
daughter of James I., full-length. Of great truth of features, but
hard in the outlines and over-smooth in the forms.
122 and 123. Swaneveldt.—Two landscapes. No. 122 is,
more than usually, conceived in the feeling of his master Claude.
124. Venus and Adonis, entitled Titian, but proceeding, in my
opinion, from the hand of a skilful painter of Paul Veronese's
school.
125. Martin Hemskerk.—The Last Judgment. A disagree-
able but genuine picture by this mannered master, the insipid tone
of which indicates his later period.
126. Palma Vecchio.—1. Diana and Actaeon. Originally
doubtless a fine picture, but it has suffered much injury : erro-
neously ascribed to Giorgione.
127. Palma Vecchio.—2. The Adoration of the Shepherds, a
beautiful picture in his warmest golden tones ; it has also suffered.
128. Tintoretto.—3. The Expulsion of Heresy. Solidly
executed in his warm deep tones.
129 and 130. Lanfranco.—2 and 3. The heads of St. Peter
and of Judas are genuine.
132. Portrait of a lady by some excellent master, but too hard
for Sebastian del Piombo.
134. The Virgin and Child with St. Andrew and the archangel
Michael, here entitled Mabuse, but, judging from the only well-
attested picture by Jan Schoreel in the town-hall at Utrecht,
decidedly by this painter, who was a pupil of Mabuse. His great
reputation in his own time, and the rarity of his works, render
this picture very remarkable.
143. Pordenone.—3. A Holy Family. A very attractive
