To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But his most admired female representations are known as * Titian*s Mis- tress/ a dark-eyed beauty, with dusky golden hair, of the ripest womanly fascination, yet withal somewhat serious in expression. The portrait in the Louvre (with the mirror), the so-called ' Flora ' in the Uffizj, and those in the Pitti and the Sciarra Gallery at Kome^ are the most famous repetitions. Some of the most celebrated painters who imitated Titiau were Bonifazio, Veneziano, Schiavone, and Dom. Campag- nola. Other... masters were distinguished by a style peculiar to themselves. Such were Semolei, Pordenone (celebrated for the softness of his flesh-painting), Paris Bordone (whose lovely red-haired 'Female Figure' was not long since placed in the National Gallery), U Moretto di Brescia, and his pupil Moroni, who rivals Titian in portraiture, and whose portrait of a Jesuit, better known as * Titian's School- master,' is the gem of the Sutherland (Stafford House) col- lection, n Bassano was, perhaps^ the earliest Italian who may be called a genre painter.
