Frontispiece. [Il Marzocco] (the heraldic lion of Florence). (Donatello.) Made of pietra serena and originally placed on the ringhiera of the Palazzo Vecchio, Florence. Now in the National Museum (Bargello) of that city, while a bronze copy occupies its place in front of the palace.
1. [Musical Angels.] (Donatello.) Bronze bas-reliefs from the high altar of S. Antonio, Padua. Ordered in 1448. Completed in 1450. Marcel Reymond holds that the execution of these reliefs was committed to assistants. In 1576 a new altar was ordered, and Donatello's bronzes were dispersed. In 1895 a reconstruction of Donatello's altar was made, setting the parts in place according to what is supposed to have been the original design.
2. [St. Philip.] (Nanni di Banco.) Marble statue in niche on outside of Or San Michele, Florence. The date is uncertain; Marcel Reymond considers it one of Nanni's oldest works, placing it before 1408.
3. [St. John the Baptist.] (Donatello.) Bas-relief in pietra serena in the National Museum (Bargello), Florence. No date is assigned.
4. [The Infant Jesus and St. John.] (Mino da Fiesole.) Detail of marble altarpiece in alto relievo in cathedral of Fiesole, being a part of the monument of Bishop Salutati. Ordered in 1462.
5. [Boys with Cymbals.] (Lucca della Robbia.) One of the marble bas-reliefs ornamenting the organ gallery for the Florence cathedral. Organ gallery begun in 1431, finished 1440. Removed from cathedral in 1688. Reliefs put in Uffizi Gallery 1882, and then in the Bargello. Thence taken to the museum of the Duomo, where they are now to be seen, set up in place on the reconstructed gallery.
6. [Tomb of Ilaria del Carretto (Detail).] (Jacopo della Quercia.) Marble tomb in the cathedral of Lucca. Milanese dates it 1413, but Ridolfi's description of the Lucca cathedral places Jacopo's work there in 1406 or 1407, and Müntz thinks this date conclusive.
7. [Madonna and Child (Detail).] (Luca della Robbia.) Glazed terra cotta lunette over the door of a building (now a shop) in the Via dell' Agnolo, Florence. Considered by Marcel Reymond the most difficult of Luca's work to date. According to Dr. Bode, executed before 1431; according to Allan Marquand, between 1430 and 1440; according to Marcel Reymond, towards 1450.
8. [Meeting of St. Francis and St. Dominick.] (Andrea della Robbia.) Glazed terra cotta lunette in the Loggia of San Paolo, Florence. Classified by Marcel Reymond under Andrea's third manner, because distinguished by perfect knowledge of artistic principles.
9. [St. George.] (Donatello.) Marble statue originally designed for a niche on the church of Or San Michele, Florence. Executed in 1416 at the order of the Guild of Armorers. In 1887 it was removed to the National Museum, Florence, to preserve it from injury by exposure to the weather. A bronze copy was substituted for it on the church.
