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. Ridolfi mentions this subject in his list of Giorgione's works. New Gallery, 1895. [No. 29.] HERTFORD HOUSE, WALLACE COLLECTION. VENUS DISARMING CUPID. 3 ft. 7 in. x 3 ft. [No. 19.] The picture was engraved as a Giorgione when in the Orleans Gallery. (See p. 93.) KENT HOUSE, THE LATE LOUISA LADY ASHBURTON. TWO FIGURES IN A LANDSCAPE. Panel. 18 in. x 17 in. The damaged state precludes any certainty of judgment. The composition is that of the Adrastus and Hypsipyle picture; the colouring recalls the National Gallery "Golden Age(?)." If an original, it is quite an early work. New Gallery, 1895. [No. 147.] TWO FIGURES (half-lengths), A WOMAN AND A MAN. Copy after a missing original, and in the style of the figures at Oldenburg. (See Venturi, _La Gall. Crespi_.) This or the original was engraved as a Giorgione in 1773 by Dom. Cunego ex tabula Romae in aedibus Burghesianis asservata. KINGSTON LACY, COLLECTION OF MR. RALPH BANKES. THE JUDGMENT OF SOLOMON. Canvas, 6 ft. 10 in. x 10 ft. 5 in. Mentioned by Dr. Waagen, Suppl. Ridolfi (1646) mentions: "In casa Grimani da Santo Ermagora la Sentenza di Salomone, di bella macchia, colla figura del ministro non finita." Afterwards in the Marescalchi Gallery at Bologna, where (1820) it was seen by Lord Byron, who especially praised it (vide _Life and Letters_, ed. by Moore, p. 705), and at whose suggestion it was purchased by his friend Mr. Bankes. (See p. 25.) Exhibited Royal Academy, 1869. A PAINTED CEILING. With four putti climbing over a circular balcony, seen in steep perspective, and covered with beautiful vine leaves and flowers. This is said to have been painted by Giorgione in the last year of his life (1510) for the Palace of Grimani, Patriarch of Aquileia. Admirably preserved, and most likely a genuine work. TEMPLE N
