[F] This picture passed into the collection of the Infanta Doña Isabel
Farnese, and is now in the Museo del Prado. The ‘Assumption’ in the
Church of Santo Domingo el Antigua is a poor copy of the original
picture.
[G] The picture was painted for the altar of St. Maurice, but it was
rejected by Philip II., and the commission given to a third-rate
Italian. To-day the picture hangs in the Sala Capitulare.
[H] This likeness is more striking even in another ‘Coronation of the
Virgin,’ by El Greco, in the collection of Colonel P. Bosch, Madrid.
[I] Some authorities name these saints Sta. Inez and Sta. Feda.
