THE VENETIAN PAINTERS OF THE RENAISSANCE With an Index to Their Works by BERNHARD BERENSON Author of "Florentine Painters of the Renaissance," "Central Italian Painters of the Renaissance." Third Edition [Illustration: _Shepherd with Pipe._ _From the Painting by Giorgione, at Hampton Court._] G. P. Putnam's Sons New York and London The Knickerbocker Press Copyright, 1894 by G. P. Putnam's Sons _Entered at Stationers' Hall, London_ by G. P. Putnam's Sons [Illustration] Made in the United States of America NOTE TO THE SECOND EDITION. The indices of this second edition have been carefully revised, and a considerable number of additions have been made to the lists. The author begs once more to call attention to the fact that, with one or two exceptions, _he has mentioned no pictures that he has not seen_. The lists are the result, not of compilation, but of first-hand acquaintance with the works of art. NOTE TO THIRD EDITION. In this edition changes have been made in the numbering of the Venice and Vienna Galleries, as well as of some minor collections, to correspond to recent rehanging. Many other alterations have been required by the breaking up of private collections. In several instances it has been impossible to trace pictures to their new homes, and of such the more important remain under the names of their former owners. To the lists of painters have been added Beccaruzzi, Caprioli, Polidoro Lanzani, Rocco Marconi, Andrea Schiavone, and Girolamo da Treviso, artists important enough to be missed, but of merit so unequal that only their more interesting works are here given. But the bulk of new additions, amounting to a third as much again as was comprised in the last edition, is of pictures in the various provincial galleries and private collections of Great Britain, France, and Germany. The author takes great pleasure in acknowledging his indebtedness to Mr. Herbert F. Cook for invaluable aid in visiting some of the almost numberless British collections. PREFACE.
