deo Contarini. (See p. 24 and Appendix, where the original document is quoted.) _From the Collection of the Archduke Leopold William, and registered in the inventory of 1659 as a Giorgione._ VIRGIN AND CHILD. Wood, 2 ft. 2 in. x 2 ft. 9 in. [No. 176.] Known as the "Gipsy Madonna," and ascribed to Titian. _Collection of the Archduke Leopold William._ (See p. 97.) PORTRAIT OF A MAN. Canvas, 3 ft. 5 in. x 2 ft. 9 in. [No. 167.] Commonly, though erroneously, called "The Physician Parma," and ascribed to Titian. _Collection of the Archduke Leopold William._ (See p. 87.) DAVID WITH THE HEAD OF GOLIATH. Wood, 2 ft. 2 in. x 2 ft. 6 in. [No. 21.] Copy after a lost original, which is thus described by Vasari: "A David (which, according to common report, is a portrait of the master himself) with long locks, reaching to the shoulders, as was the custom of that time, and the colouring is so fresh and animating that the face appears to be rather real than painted; the breast is covered with armour, as is the arm with which he holds the head of Goliath." _This picture was at that day in the house of the Patriarch of Aquileia; the copy can be traced back to the Collection of the Archduke Leopold William at Brussels._ (See p. 48.) Herr Wickhoff, however, seems to think that, were the repaints removed, the Vienna picture might prove to be Giorgione's original painting. See Berenson's _Study and Criticism of Italian Art_, vol. i. p. 74, note. BRITISH ISLES LONDON, NATIONAL GALLERY. ADORATION OF THE MAGI, or THE EPIPHANY. Panel. 12 in. x 2 ft. 8 in. [No. 1160.] _From the Leigh Court sale, 1884._ (See p. 53.) UNKNOWN SUBJECT, possibly THE GOLDEN AGE. Panel. 1 ft. 11 in. x 1 ft. 7 in. [No. 1173.] Now catalogued as "School of Barbarelli." (See p. 91.) _Purchased in 1885 at the sale of the Bohn Collection as a Giorgione. Formerly in the Aldobrandini Palace, Rome, where it was bought by Mr. Day for the Marquis of Bristol, but afterwards sold at Christie's to Mr. White, and by him for L73.10s. to Bohn._ PORTRAIT OF A MAN, possibly PROSPERO COLONNA. Transposed in 1857 from wood to canvas, 2 ft. 8 in. x 2 ft. [No. 636.] Catalogued as "Portrait of a Poet," by Palma Vecchio. _Formerly in possession of Mr. Tomline, and purchased in 1860 from M. Edmond Beaucousin at Paris._ It was then called the portrait of Ariosto by Titian. (See p. 81.) A KNIGHT IN ARMOUR, probably S. LIBERALE. Woo
