The picture of the saint enthroned was originally an altar-piece, and is surrounded by eight 272 SAINTS IN ART. small pictures of scenes in her life. A series by Francia and Lorenzo Costa, in Bologna, is very much injured. They were originally in a chapel, but through a succession of changes they are now in a passage between two stre...ets. The little that remains of them is most interesting and proves them to have been very beau- tiful. Five scenes from a series by Pin- turicchio are in the Berlin Gallery. Domenichino, in addition to the single figures already mentioned, executed four historical scenes in a chapel of St. Cecilia, in the Church of San Luigi de' Francesi, in Rome. The subjects here are the Angel offering the Crowns, Cecilia's contempt for Idols, her Distribution of her clothes among the poor, her Death and Apotheosis, which last is on the ceiling.
