Martyr ” (see page 575) was destroyed in the church of SS. Giovan-
ni ’e Paolo, in 1868. The Museum of Florence had for a long time
possessed an excellent copy of this work, which was presented by
the authorities of the Museum to the Venetians, in order to make
good their loss, as far as possible. The famous “ Danae ” was pur-
