St. John the Evangelist, St. Humphrey, and St. Francis. A famous performance, by Correggio: except St. Humphrey’s figure, which having been left unfinish’d by Correggio, was afterwards finished by Spagnoletto.
The family of the Caracci’s, represented in a butcher’s shop, and those celebrated painters in butchers dresses. Annibal is weighing some meat to a Swiss of the Cardinal of Bologna’s guard. Agostino is shaking a nail and trying if it holds fast, that he may hang on it a leg of mutton which he holds in his left hand. The Gobbo is lifting up half a calf to hang it on a beam, and Lodovico stoops down killing a sheep. The mother of them is represented as a servant-maid that comes to buy some meat. The likenesses are traditionally said to be wonderful; and the whole of this no less odd than beautiful picture was the most celebrated performance of Annibal Caracci.
Three half figures as big as the life, representing three ladies diverting themselves with music, and a gentleman listening to them. In all probability they were portraits, by Titiano.
