Masolino had reappeared at Florence after his stay in Lombardy, his name would again have been found in the records of Florence. Yet the search of those who have already discovered so much respecting him, has in this respect been totally unsuccessful. Having thus endeavoured to show that the paintings now in the Brancacci chapel cannot be by Masolino, it may be interesting to follow such traces as remain of him and of his manner in Lombardy. There are vestiges of a painting representing the bene volence of S. Martin in a part of. the ex-Palazzo Branda at Castiglione, said to have been once the Cardinal's private chapel, and these vestiges are like those of Masolino. 1 At Milan in the palace of the Marquis Trivulzio, is a small Coronation of the Virgin of the school of Masolino. It is not of much interest and was lately in the Einuccini gallery. A S. Francis receiving the stigmata in the gallery at Modena, 2 assigned to Masolino, is so rude in execution and so different in style from the master’s originals that but for its existence in a public collection it need not be noticed. The Virgin and child assigned to Masolino in the Liver pool gallery 3 is not by him. A much damaged annnunciation in the gallery of Munich bears the name of Masolino, 4 but is more probably an early production of Fra Filippo Lippi in the spirit of Masolino. According to Vasari, 3 one of Masolino’s disciples was Paolo Schiavo, who in a Virgin and child, executed at Florence on the “Canto de’ Gori”, foreshortened his figures, so that the feet appeared from below to stand on the cornice, and who strove much to follow the manner 1 On the wall of No. 13, in the high street of Castiglione is an annunciation which discloses a common painter taught from the models of the same master. The same influence may be traced in a wall painting on the front of a house in the Piazza 8. Sco- lastica at Castiglione, represent ing the Virgin and child between a bishop and S. Scolastica with a palm and a dragon. An in scription which may have been that of the painter is now illegi ble. Above the door of the same building, which seems to have been a mint, are three medallion por traits with the date of 1504, show ing that for nearly 80 years, the example of Masolino left unmis- takeable traces in a single town of an unimportant class. 2 No. 27. 3 No. 11. 4 Cab.
