a Fiesole.) Detail of marble altarpiece in alto relievo in cathedral of Fiesole, being a part of the monument of Bishop Salutati. Ordered in 1462. 5. _Boys with Cymbals._ (Lucca della Robbia.) One of the marble bas-reliefs ornamenting the organ gallery for the Florence cathedral. Organ gallery begun in 1431, finished 1440. Removed from cathedral in 1688. Reliefs put in Uffizi Gallery 1882, and then in the Bargello. Thence taken to the museum of the Duomo, where they are now to be seen, set up in place on the reconstructed gallery. 6. _Tomb of Ilaria del Carretto (Detail)._ (Jacopo della Quercia.) Marble tomb in the cathedral of Lucca. Milanese dates it 1413, but Ridolfi's description of the Lucca cathedral places Jacopo's work there in 1406 or 1407, and Muentz thinks this date conclusive. 7. _Madonna and Child (Detail)._ (Luca della Robbia.) Glazed terra cotta lunette over the door of a building (now a shop) in the Via dell' Agnolo, Florence. Considered by Marcel Reymond the most difficult of Luca's work to date. According to Dr. Bode, executed before 1431; according to Allan Marquand, between 1430 and 1440; according to Marcel Reymond, towards 1450. 8. _Meeting of St. Francis and St. Dominick._ (Andrea della Robbia.) Glazed terra cotta lunette in the Loggia of San Paolo, Florence. Classified by Marcel Reymond under Andrea's third manner, because distinguished by perfect knowledge of artistic principles. 9. _St. George._ (Donatello.) Marble statue originally designed for a niche on the church of Or San Michele, Florence. Executed in 1416 at the order of the Guild of Armorers. In 1887 it was removed to the National Museum, Florence, to preserve it from injury by exposure to the weather. A bronze copy was substituted for it on the church. 10. _Bambino._ (Andrea della Robbia.) One of a series of glazed terra cotta medallions on the facade of the Foundling Hospital, Florence. Judged by its relation to the art of Luca della Robbia, this is among the early works of Andrea. From certain data in the history of the hospital, Cavalucci reckons that it was executed about the year 1463. 11. _The Annunciation._ (Andrea della Robbia.) Altarpiece at La Verna. Marcel Reymond says that from the beauty of style and the advanced knowledge of technique exhibited here, this work must belong to Andrea's maturity, that is, in the neighborhood of his fortieth year. It is classified by Reymond in Andrea's "first manner." 12. _T
