"An evening landscape. In the foreground near a pond and a group of white beeches is leading a footpath animated by travelers." "A learned man in a cynical and torn dress holding an open book in his hand." "St. Bartholomew and the Executioner with the knife to fulfil the martyr." "Portrait of a young man. A long while this picture was thought to be Bindi Altoviti's portrait; now somebody will again have it to be the self-portrait of Raphael." "Susan bathing, surprised by the two old man. In the background the lapidation of the condemned." ("Lapidation" is good; it is much more elegant than "stoning.") "St. Rochus sitting in a landscape with an angel who looks at his plague-sore, whilst the dog the bread in his mouth attents him." "Spring. The Goddess Flora, sitting. Behind her a fertile valley perfused by a river." "A beautiful bouquet animated by May-bugs, etc." |
