Giorgione eBook

This eBook from the Gutenberg Project consists of approximately 158 pages of information about Giorgione.

Purchased in 1882 as a Giorgione at the Hamilton Palace sale. (See p. 94.)

GLASGOW GALLERY.

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 Titian 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 authorship.)

BUCKINGHAM PALACE.

THREE FIGURES.  Half-length; two men, and a woman fainting.  Canvas, 2 ft. 5 in. x 2 ft. 1 in.

Ascribed to Titian, 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 document.)

MR. R.H.  BENSON’S COLLECTION.

HOLY FAMILY.  Wood, 14 in. x 17 in.

New Gallery, 1895. [No. 148.] (See p. 96.)

MADONNA AND CHILD.  Wood, 1 ft. 6 in. x 1 ft. 10 in.

New Gallery, 1895. [No. 1, under Titian’s name.] (See p. 101.)

From the Burghley House Collection.

PORTRAIT OF A MAN.  Canvas, 38 in. x 32 in.

Copy of a lost original.  Three-quarter length; life-size; standing towards right; head facing; hands resting on a column, glove in left; black dress, cut square at throat.

New Gallery, 1895. [No. 52, as “Unknown.”] (See p. 74.)

COBHAM HALL, THE EARL OF DARNLEY’S COLLECTION.

PORTRAIT OF A MAN.  Canvas, 2 ft. 1 in. x 2 ft. 9 in.

Erroneously called Ariosto, and ascribed to Titian.

I have sought to identify this with the “Portrait of a Gentleman” of the Barberigo family, said by Vasari to have been painted by Titian at the age of eighteen. (See p. 69.)

HERON COURT, THE EARL OF MALMESBURY.

THE JUDGMENT OF PARIS.  Canvas, 22 in. x 28 in.

Copy of an unidentified original, of which other versions are to be found at Dresden, Venice (Pal.  Albuzio), and Christiania.  This one is probably a Bolognese repetition of the seventeenth century.
