PLATE I.—A KNIGHT OF MALTA. Frontispiece
(From Hampton Court)
This portrait (note the Maltese crosses on the cloak) is a splendid example of Tintoretto's gifts as a portrait painter. It should be remembered that three or four hundred years have helped the restorer's arts to spoil much of the painter's work.
