1495. CHRIST DISPUTING WITH THE DOCTORS.
Ludovico Mazzolino (Ferrarese: 1480-1528). See 169.
This brilliant and characteristic little picture, containing twenty-eight delicately and elaborately finished figures, is enriched with one of Mazzolino's usual backgrounds of marble bas-reliefs. The lower of them represents Moses showing the Tables of the Law to the Israelites. The upper, the battle between the Israelites and the Philistines, with David beheading Goliath.
