2502. VIRGIN AND CHILD.
Bastiano Mainardi (Tuscan: died 1513).
This painter was the pupil, favourite assistant, and brother-in-law of Domenico Ghirlandajo (see 1230). He was born at San Gimignano, in the churches of which place pictures by him are to be seen.
The beautiful painting of jewellery, and the fine patterns, should not escape notice.
