. Florence. Vffxzi. No. 1166. Magdalen at the feet of Christ. — No. 1168. Virgin and S. John mourning. Wood, oil. Both genuine. — No. 1217. Bust likeness of a youth supposed to be Alessandro Braccesi (?), of an olive tone, but injured by restoring (wood, oil). — No. 1287. Round of the Holy Family, Leonardesque in arrange ment, and soft, hut somewhat poor, owing to absence of the requi site relief (wood, oil, figures half life size). — No. 24. Corridor. Round of the Virgin adoring the child, attended by an angel —, rubbed down, but in the character of Credi (wood, oil, figures half life size). — No. 1160. Annunciation, with three subjects in dead colour below; — ex. gr. the Creation of Eve, the Original Sin, and the Expulsion (wood, oil, small figures), genuine. — No. 1146. An nunciation (wood, oil), genuine. — No. 1150. The Saviour appears to the Magdalen as the gardener (wood, oil, small figures) very pretty and careful. (See the replica, almost equally good, at the Louvre, postea.) Florence. Pitti. No. 354. Holy Family (wood, oil, round), remi niscent of Credi in composition and manner, but of a hard, low tinge of colour. Something in it reminds one of Piero di Cosimo, but it seems of Credi’s school, yet the painter is not Sogliani, nor is it Michele di Rulolfo, both of whom were Credi’s pupils (Vas. VIII. 207 IX. 62. and XI. 294). But we know nothing of other disciples, Tommaso di Stefano, Gian Jacopo di Castrocaro (re gistered in 1525 in the Florentine guild, Gualandi, Ser. VI.), An tonio del Ceraiuolo (Vas. VIII. 204. 207. and XI. 132. and Gualandi, Memorie, Ser. VI, 176. and foil.), or Giovanni di Benedetto Cianfanini recorded as part author of the S. Michael in S. M. del Fiore (annot. Vas. VIII. 206). A picture of the same class is that of the Borghese Gallery (postea). Florence. Academy of Arts. Galerie des petils Tableaux. No. 13. Originally in the SS. Annunziata de’ Servi. Nativity. Genuine. (Wood, oil.) Casliglione Fiorenlino. Collegial^ church. Chapel to the right of the choir. Nativity (wood, oil, life size figures). Vasari speaks of a tavola that was sent to Castiglione, by Francesco canon of S. Maria del Fiore. It may be the piece here noticed (Vas. VIII. 208). The Virgin kneels to the right before the penthouse, the child on straw on the ground, with S. Joseph on his knees to the left. This is genuine, neatly arranged, pretty, but a little feeble withal. Home. Galleria Borghese. No. 54. Round of the Nativity i. e. the infant on the ground between the kneeling Virgin and S. Joseph (wood, oil). This suggests the same reflections as the Holy Family at the Pitti (No. 354).
