[15] The three paintings by Murillo in the Dulwich Gallery, to which reference is made, are:—
The Flower Girl, Two Boys and a Dog, and Three Boys,—one eating a tart. The gallery also contains a religious painting by Murillo.

[16] The representation of the Crucifixion, with attendant angels, is very frequent in Renaissance art. For examples among the earlier painters, Duccio and Giotto may be mentioned, while in a later period Luini and Gaudenzio adopted the same motif, with characteristic results.
[17] For examples of single child-angels, see Raphael’s Madonna di Foligno, in the Vatican at Rome, and Bartolommeo’s Madonna and Saints, in San Martino, Lucca.
[18] The Madonna of the Church of the Redentore is popularly attributed to Bellini, but is more probably the work of Luigi Vivarini. For arguments, see Crowe and Cavalcaselle, History of Painting in North Italy, vol. i., pages 64 and 186.
