Bartolomeo di San Marco. The pale of an altar with figures bigger than the life, representing St. Lucy, St. John the Evangelist, St. Humphrey, and St. Francis. A famous performance, by Correggio: except St. Humphrey’s figure, which having been left unfinish’d by Correggio, was afterwards finished by Spagnoletto. The family of the Caracci’s, represented in a butcher’s shop, and those celebrated painters in butchers dresses. _Annibal_ is weighing some meat to a Swiss of the Cardinal of Bologna’s guard. _Agostino_ is shaking a nail and trying if it holds fast, that he may hang on it a leg of mutton which he holds in his left hand. The _Gobbo_ is lifting up half a calf to hang it on a beam, and _Lodovico_ stoops down killing a sheep. The mother of them is represented as a servant-maid that comes to buy some meat. The likenesses are traditionally said to be wonderful; and the whole of this no less odd than beautiful picture was the most celebrated performance of Annibal Caracci.
