Mark and John the Baptist, have recently been added to the Berlin Museum.] ' The lowest course of this antiquated picture contains SS. Martin, Anthony, and Michael, a niche gilt and without ornament, an angel, a saint, and S._ George overcoming the Dragon; above this base, a row of niches with busts in ...relief at each side of three little subjects, surmoimted by another row of saints, Peter, Paul, Nicholas, Gregory, and another. 202 HISTORY OF PAINTING IN ITALY are in the old style, with high projecting foreheads, and not without a certain antique sternness ; the angel is long and slender, the S.
