may be assigned the recently discovered frescos of a nun and a knight with their patron saints at each side of the Virgin in the cloister of the Carmine at Florence. 1 With some grandeur and nobleness in the figure and attitude, the Virgin’s face recals the Siennese type of Simone Martini. The kneeling nun is fine, and the saints full of dignity. The colour, where it remains, is warm and pleasing, the draperies broad and flowing. Another painting which presents many of the charac teristics of Giovanni da Milano is a lunette fresco above the portal of S. Niccolo of Prato, representing the Virgin and child enthroned between S. Dominick and S. Nicho las of Tolentino. The movement of the Virgin is given with masterly ease, the colour generally is bright and vigorous. 2 is there called Johannes Jacobi de Mediolano. 1 Subject: Virgin enthroned with the infant, the latter extend ing its hand to an armed man kneeling in front and presented by S. James, near whom S. An thony. To the right of the Vir gin, a kneeling nun introduced by S. John Evangelist, near whom is a female saint with a palm and cup. The fresco is much damaged by time. On the painted cornice are the arms, according to Pas- serini, one of the best heraldic scholars in Italy, of the Bovarelli, a Florentine family of the 14 th century. 2 See antea, as to pinnacles of the altarpiece No. 579 in the Na tional gallery. Other fragments or relics in other places are of in sufficient importance and require no further comment.
