and she was represented borne in a cloth by angels, showing the infant Saviour erect on a basket of flowers, SS. Pellegrino and Florentius, Sebastian and Philip on the foreground, attended by kneeling dames and men, parted into two principal groups by an angel holding a long scroll. On this scroll a feeble poet has written the angel's proclamation. He cries out to a people full of iniquity to think of its sins, and remember that the Vir gin is its successful intercessor; and at the close of the lines, one reads: “nel mille settanta quatro cento sei”. 1 The light tempera, embrowned by time, is bravely handled, and not without a judicious distribution of light and shade. Some feeling in the Virgin and grace in the angels counterbalance the defects apparent in the hard stiff nude of the infant Christ. These qualities may be found in four saints; in a Vir gin, child, and angels, perhaps the centre of an altar- piece of which the foregoing were the sides, in four scenes on a small scale belonging to a predella, and in two pinnacles, hanging separate in various parts of S. Domenico of Perugia. One sees in the central panel the influence of Fra Filippo, and in the angel and Virgin annunciate of the pinnacles a gentle modesty akin to that of Alunno, who may have been at Perugia at this time. 2 But for the damage which it has sustained, we 1 The infant Saviour extends his hands which show the marks of the crucifixion.

Thy are well reliev ed by light and shade, well pro portioned and not without nature in movement and regularity of form. The central panel which is hopeless ly and almost totally injured, is not usually visible to the public. The Virgin is in the middle, the angels four in number at the sides of the foreground. The pieces of pre della represent the Crucifixion which has almost disappeared, the Baptism of Christ, the Decollation of S. John, and the three youths saved from death by the inter cession of S. Nicholas. The two pinnacles are in the sacristy. The whole of these pieces are now in the gallery of Perugia, as follows: No. 61. SS. Catherine and Peter; No.73: SS. Paul and Peter Martyr. The two pinnacles are under No. 246, the rest unnum bered.
