Paris as It Was and as It Is / A Sketch Of The French Capital, Illustrative Of The Effects Of The Revolution

by Francis William Blagdon

FRA BARTOLOMEO.

N° 28.	(Saloon.) St. Mark the Evangelist.
N° 29.	(Saloon.) The Saviour of the world.

These two pictures, which were in the Pitti palace at Florence, give the idea of the most noble simplicity, and of no common taste in the distribution of the lights and shades.

GIULIO ROMANO.

N° 35.

(Saloon.) The Circumcision.

This picture belonged to the old collection of the crown. The figures in it are about a foot and a half in height. It is a real chef d'œuvre, and has all the grace of the antique bas-reliefs.

TIZIANO.

N° 69.

(Saloon.) The Martyrdom of St. Peter.

This large picture, which presents a grand composition in colossal figures, with a country of extraordinary beauty in the back-ground, is considered as the chef d'œuvre of TITIAN. It was painted on pannel; but, having undergone the same operation as the Madonna di Foligno, is now placed on canvass, and is in such a state as to claim the admiration of succeeding ages.

N°	74.	(Saloon.) The Portraits of Titian and his mistress.
	70.	(Saloon.) Portrait of the Marquis del Guasto with some ladies.
