But it is when we come to the scenes from the legend of St. Vitus
that we seem to trace only the faintest signs of Wolgemut's style.
The composition here bears only a distant resemblance to his, and
in the execution the assistant employed must surely have been he
who painted the scene of St. Vitus denouncing the idols in the
Lorenzkirche (see p. 254), and whose initials are R. F.
The pictures by Albrecht Durer in the Museum we have already

Besides these originals there are several copies of the master's
works, including the excellent copies of the Four Apostles (283,

retained. The Allerheiligen or Trinity picture, No. 210, is a bad
copy in a worse frame.

In the following rooms the decline of German art is historically
well represented. But in room 78, which is devoted mainly to
painters of the Dutch School of the seventeenth century, mention
should be made of the interior by Peter de Hooch (330) and an early
portrait of Rembrandt by himself (325) and his powerful St. Paul
(326). Johann Kupetzky is also well represented (371-378).
