As in the animal kingdom, genius has its prototype. In the NationalGallery at London you will see in the Turner Room a "Claude Lorraine" anda "Turner" hung side by side, as provided for in Turner's will. You wouldswear, were the pictures not labeled, that one hand did them both. Whenthirty, Turner admired Claude to a slavish degree; but we know there camea time when he bravely set sail on a chartless sea, and left the greatClaude Lorraine far astern. Titian loved Giorgione so well that he even ...imitated his faults. At firstthis high compliment was pleasing to Giorgione; then he becameindifferent, and finally disgusted. The very sight of Titian gave him apain. He avoided his society. He ceased to speak to him when they met, andforbade his friends to mention the name "Titian" in his presence. It was about this time that Giorgione's ladylove won fame by discardinghim in that foolish, fishwife fashion. He called his attendants andinstructed them thus: "Do not allow that painter from Cadore--never mindhis name--to attend my funeral--you understand?" Then he turned his face to the wall and died.
