FOOTNOTES:
[A] There is one picture only by Roelas in the Prado. His work is
hardly known outside Seville. In England we have at least one of his
pictures, a fine example, in a private collection.
[B] There is a picture by El Greco, the wonderful portrait of himself,
in the Museum. It came quite recently from the Palace of San Telmo,
where also was once the really grand picture, “The Death of Laocoön
and his Sons at the Siege of Troy.” The remarkable and interesting
“Trinity” in the Cathedral, attributed to El Greco, is the work of
his pupil Luis Tristan, a painter neglected too long. Seville has
no picture by Navarrete; the one work of Morales, the triptych in
the Sacristiá de los Calices of the Cathedral, is not typical of his
strange power.
[C] The most important is the “Adoration of the Shepherds,” until
recently in the Palace of San Telmo; but this work has been removed
with other pictures in the collection of the Infanta Maria Luisa
Fernanda de Bourbon. The really fine picture on the same subject in our
National Gallery is now attributed to Zurbarán; probably to him, too,
belongs the “Dead Warrior,” now assigned to Velazquez.
