to Campagnola), and a "Sta. Justina" (known to me only from a photograph), which has passed lately into the collection of Herr von Kauffmann at Berlin. Signor Venturi (_L'Arte_, 1900) has just acquired for the National Gallery in Rome a "St. George slaying the Dragon." Judging only from the photograph, I should say he is correct in his identification of this as Giorgione's work. It seems to be akin to the "Apollo and Daphne," and "Orpheus and Eurydice." [115] I am pleased to find Signor Venturi has anticipated my own conclusion in his recently published _La Galleria Crespi_. [116] Mr. Cosmo Monkhouse (_In the National Gallery_, p. 223) has already rightly recognised the same hand in this picture and in the "Epiphany" hanging just below. [117] Meravig, i. 124. [118] By a happy accident the new "Giorgione" label, intended for the "Epiphany," No. 1160, was for some time affixed to No. 1173. [119] When in the Orleans Gallery the picture was engraved under Giorgione's name by de Longueil and Halbon. [120] New illustrated edition of the National Gallery Catalogue, 1900. [121] Now in America, in Mrs. Gardner's Collection. [122] Crowe and Cavalcaselle: _Titian_, i. p. III. This picture was then at Burleigh House. [123] See _La Galleria Crespi_, 1900. [124] _The Earlier Work of Titian_ p. 24. _Portfolio_, October 1897. [125] _Tizian_, p. 16. [126] Morelli, ii. 57, note. [127] See _antea_, p. 71. [128] With the exception of the right arm, which Titian has let fall, instead placing it behind the head of the sleeping goddess. The effect of the beautiful curve is thereby lost, and Titian shows himself Giorgione's inferior in quality of line. [129] As in the "Aeneas and Evander" (Vienna), the "Judith" (St. Petersburg), the Madrid "Madonna and Saints," etc. [130] As in the "Caterina Cornare" of the Crespi collection at Milan. [131] _Magazine of Art_. July 1895. [132] _North American Review_. October 1899. [133] _Magazine of Art_, 1890, pp. 91 and 138. [134] The small divergencies of detail in the dress of the "Adulteress," etc., are just such as an imitator might have ventured to make. The hand and arm of the Christ have, however, been altered for the better. [135] This is the first time in Venetian art that the subject appears. It is frequently found later. [136] Cariani is by some made responsible for the whole picture. A comparison with an authentic example hanging (in the new ar
