H Layard, and Mrs Jameson's ”Early Italian Painters,” revised by Estelle M Hurll

For a critical estiio a chapter in Burckhardt's ”Cicerone” is interesting reading, but the book is out of print and available only in large libraries In ”Italian Cities,” by E H and E W Blashfield, a delightful chapter on Pario's works and analyzes his art methods Morelli's ”Italian Painters” contains in various places soly iio's works The author's repudiation of the authenticity of the Reading Magdalen of the Dresden Gallery has been accepted by all subsequent writers

Coio are found in Symonds's volume on ”The Fine Arts”

in the series ”The Renaissance in Italy,” and are also scattered through the pages of Ruskin's ”Modern Painters” and Hazlitt's ”Essays on the Fine Arts” The volu and Sculpture” is valuable chiefly for a coio's works The text is based on Ricci[3]

[Footnote 3: As this book goes to press Bernard Berenson's ”The Study and Criticism of Italian Art” makes its appearance A portion of it is devoted to the study of Correggio]
