Child-life in Art Part 6

The gallery also contains a religious painting by Murillo.

CHAPTER V.--PAGE 115.

[16] The representation of the Crucifixion, with attendant angels, is very frequent in Renaissance art. For examples among the earlier painters, Duccio and Giotto may be mentioned, while in a later period Luini and Gaudenzio adopted the same _motif_, with characteristic results.

[17] For examples of single child-angels, see Raphael's Madonna di Foligno, in the Vatican at Rome, and Bartolommeo's Madonna and Saints, in San Martino, Lucca.

[18] The Madonna of the Church of the Redentore is popularly attributed to Bellini, but is more probably the work of Luigi Vivarini.

For arguments, see Crowe and Cavalcaselle, History of Painting in North Italy, vol. i., pages 64 and 186.

CHAPTER VI.--PAGE 141.

[19] My authority on these frescos is Charles I. Hemans, who states (page 70 of Ancient Christianity and Sacred Art) that "conjecture has a.s.sumed antiquity as high as the first century" for some paintings in the catacombs of S. Praxedes, but does not mention whether these are of the number.

Van d.y.k.e, in his Christ-child in Art (page 120), describes an interesting third century fresco in the catacomb of SS. Marcellinus and Peter, representing the Adoration of the Magi.

[20] The mosaics at Santa Maria Maggiore are a.s.signed to the fifth century; those at S. Apollinare Nuova, Ravenna, to the sixth century. See Hemans, Ancient Christianity and Sacred Art.

For further descriptions of the mosaics at Capua and at Santa Maria in Trastevere, Rome, see Mrs. Jameson's Legends of the Madonna. For an engraving of the Virgin and Child in the Ravenna mosaic, see Van d.y.k.e's Christ-child in Art.
