ADORATION OF THE MAGI, or THE EPIPHANY. Panel. 12 in. x 2 ft. 8 in. [No.

_From the Leigh Court sale, 1884._ (See p. 53.)

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 73.10s. 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 Arios...o...b.. t.i.tian. (See p. 81.)

A KNIGHT IN ARMOUR, probably S. LIBERALE. Wood, 1 ft. 3 in. x 10 in.

[No. 269.]

_Formerly in the Collection of Benjamin West, P.R.A., and bequeathed to the National Gallery by Mr. Samuel Rogers in 1855._ (See p. 20.)

VENUS AND ADONIS. Canvas, 2 ft. 6 in. x 4 ft. 4 in. [No. 1123.]

THE ADULTERESS BEFORE CHRIST. Canvas, 4 ft. 6 in. x 5 ft. 11 in. [No.

142.]

_Ex M'Lellan Collection._ (See p. 102.)

TWO MUSICIANS. Panel. 1 ft. 9 in. x 1 ft. 4 in. [No. 143.]

Recently attributed to Campagnola. Said to be t.i.tian and Giorgione, playing violin and violoncello. The former attribution to Giorgione is probably correct.

_Graham-Gilbert Collection._

New Gallery, Venetian Exhibition, 1895. [No. 99.]

HAMPTON COURT.

SHEPHERD BOY. Canvas, 1 ft. 11 in. x 1 ft. 8 in. [No. 101.]

_From Charles I. Collection_, where it was called a Giorgione. (See p.

49 for a suggestion as to its possible authors.h.i.+p.)

BUCKINGHAM PALACE.

THREE FIGURES. Half-length; two men, and a woman fainting. Canvas, 2 ft.

5 in. x 2 ft. 1 in.

Ascribed to t.i.tian, but probably derived from a Giorgione original.

Other versions are said (C. and C. ii. 149) to have been at the Hague and in the Buonarroti Collection at Florence. The London picture is so damaged and repainted, although still of splendid colouring, as to preclude all certainty of judgment.

_Formerly in Charles I. Collection._

MR. WENTWORTH BEAUMONT'S COLLECTION.

ADORATION OF THE SHEPHERDS, or NATIVITY. Wood, 3 ft. 6 in. x 2 ft.

(about).

_From the Gallery of Cardinal Fesch_, and presumably the same as the picture in the Collection of James II. I have sought to identify this piece with the picture "da una Nocte," painted by Giorgione for Vittorio Beccare (See p. 20, and Appendix quoting the original doc.u.ment.)

MR. R.H. BENSON'S COLLECTION.

HOLY FAMILY. Wood, 14 in. x 17 in.
