PAINTING
I. _Pauline._
1. Andromeda. By Polidoro da Caravaggio--the picture
of Perseus freeing her from the sea monster.
II. _Sordello._
1. Guido of Siena (c. 1250--). The disputed artist of
a Virgin and Child, the date of which may be either
1221 or 1281. If it be the former, some of
Cimabue’s claims are disturbed by Guido’s earlier
work.
2. Guido Reni (1575-1642). A prime master in the
Bolognese school, faithful to its eclectic
principles and working with considerable artistic
feeling, but still with a certain “core of the
commonplace.”
3. Andromeda. By Caravaggio.
