[789] Histoire de l'Inquisition en France, par De la Mothe, vol. ii. pp. 538, 603, &c.—Bevilacqua is Boileau translated into Italian. Some of the Drinkwaters and Boileaus of England claim to belong to the same family.
[790] In the Bulletin du Protestantisme français for 1860, p. 170, we read:—'About the year 1840 the duke of Bevilacqua showed to Sir John Boileau the portrait of Calvin, painted by Titian on this occasion, and offered him a copy of it. I have had many opportunities of seeing it at London in Sir John's house.' M. de Triqueti, whose words we have just quoted, speaks of another portrait of Calvin painted by Titian, purchased in 1860, at a public sale in Paris. We ourselves have seen in one of the Italian picture galleries a portrait of Calvin also assigned to Titian. There is one in the public library of Geneva, and several are to be found in various Italian museums (Stählin: Johannes Calvin, ii. p. 7); but these are rather pictures painted by Titian's pupils and touched up by the master, as was the custom of the teacher and his students in those days.
