National Gallery (Great Britain); Painting -- England -- London -- Catalogs
1434 (_Velazquez_), now "ascribed to Velazquez," and it is
added that the picture has been attributed to Luca Giordano
(Neapolitan: 1632-1705).
1440 (_Giovanni Bellini_), now assigned to _Gentile Bellini_;
for whom, _see_ 1213.
1468 (_Spinello Aretino_), now assigned to _Jacopo di Cione_,
the younger brother of Andrea Cione (called Orcagna); he was
still living in 1394.
1652 This picture has hitherto been assigned to the _British
School_ (and therefore included in vol. ii. of the _Handbook_),
and called a portrait of Katharine Parr. It is now discovered
to belong to the _Dutch School_ and to be a "portrait of Madame
van der Goes."
1699 (_Jan Vermeer_), now "attributed to Vermeer."
1842 (_Tuscan School_), now "attributed to _Stefano di
Giovanni_," known as _Sassetta_ (Sienese: 1392-1450).
1870 "Angels with Keys," by _Sebastiano Conca_ (Neapolitan:
1679-1764). Lent by the Victoria and Albert Museum.
1903 (_Jan Fyt_), now assigned to _Pieter Boel_ (Flemish:
1622-1674), of Antwerp, who became official painter to Louis
XIV.
It will be observed that critical fashions are unstable, and that in
several cases Sir Edward Poynter's changes have been reversed. The
recent alterations were made just as this edition of the _Handbook_ was
going to press. The ascriptions in the body of my Catalogue remain,
therefore, in conformity with the Official Catalogue of 1906 which
embodied Sir Edward Poynter's views. The lists of painters and pictures
at the end (Appendix I. and II.) have, on the other hand, been revised
in accordance with Sir Charles Holroyd's alterations.
