Cook, Herbert, 1868-1939

"Giorgione"


(See p. 49.)
THE THREE AGES. Wood, 3 ft. 8 in. x 5 ft. 4 in. [No. 157.]
By C. and C. ascribed to Lotto, by Morelli to Giorgione.
(See p. 42.)
NYMPH AND SATYR. Canvas. [No. 147.]
(See p. 44.)
FLORENCE, UFFIZI GALLERY.
TRIAL OF MOSES, or ORDEAL BY FIRE. Canvas. Figures one-eighth life-size.
[No. 621.]
_From Poggio Imperiale._(See p. 15.)
JUDGMENT OF SOLOMON. Companion piece to last. Wood. [No. 630.]
(See p. 15.)
KNIGHT OF MALTA. Canvas. Bust, life-size. [No. 622.]
The letters XXXV probably refer to the man's age. Mr. Dickes (_Magazine
of Art_, April 1893) thinks he is Stefano Colonna, who died 1548. (See
p. 19.)
MILAN, CRESPI COLLECTION.
PORTRAIT OF CATERINA CORNARO. Canvas, 3 ft. 11 in. x 3 ft. 2 in.
_From the Alessandro Martinengo Gallery, Brescia (1640), thence to
Collection Francesco Riccardi, Bergamo, where C. and C. saw it in 1877._
They state it was engraved in the line series of Sala. It has been known
traditionally both as Caterina Cornaro and "La Schiavona." (See p. 74.)
In the signature T.V. it is clear that the V represents the last letter
but one in TITIANVS. The first three letters can just be made out. There
are many _pentimenti_ on the marble parapet, which seems to have been
painted over the dress.
PADUA, GALLERY.
Two _cassone_ panels with mythological scenes. Wood, about 4 ft. x 1 ft.
each. [Nos. 416, 417.]
(See p. 56.)
Two very small panels with mythological scenes, one representing LEDA
AND THE SWAN.
