D-10. Martyrdom of St. Lawrence. (90X97.) Titian.
This painting is signed, and shows evidences of being the first of three of this subject which Titian painted—the second, ordered by King Philip II. of Spain, remains at the Escurial; the third is in the Jesuits' Church at Venice. This composition is esteemed by such authorities as Kugler one of the most important of Titian's works.
From the collection owned by Gideon Nye, Jr., who valued this picture at sixteen thousand guineas.
