2512. THE MAGDALEN.
Correggio (Parmese: 1494-1534). See 10.
"The art of Correggio with its deep sense of beauty and its tender sensibility was peculiarly fitted," says Signor Ricci, "to give life and grace to the figure of the Magdalen. He introduced it in many of his large compositions, and made it the subject of several separate studies, but not one of the latter has survived." If this be an authentic work, the statement requires correction; but the head of the Magdalen is not convincingly Correggiesque.
2513. VIRGIN AND CHILD WITH SAINTS.
Tiepolo (Venetian: 1692-1769). See 1192.
2514-2516. VIEWS IN VENICE.
Canaletto (Venetian: 1697-1768). See 127.
No. 2514 shows the Grand Canal, with the church of the Scalzi; No. 2515, the square of St. Mark's, seen through an archway; No. 2516, the Colonnade of the Procuratie Nuove. The white spots with which the figures are picked out are not a happy instance of Canaletto's workmanship.
2517-2523. VARIOUS VIEWS.
Guardi (Venetian: 1712-1793). See 210.
