It is a fine work, whoever be the artist. More precious, 9 130 IN ANCIENT ETRURIA however, and, indeed, the particular gem of all the pictures in Volterra, is the picture opposite. It is by that pride of the Sienese school, Benvenuto di Giovanni, and represents the " Annunciation. " The Virgin, awed yet serene, holy and calm, and with a remarkably long neck, is girdled about by heads of cherubim. A vase of lilies (the Virgin's flowers) stands between her and the Announcing Angel, Gabriel. San M...ichele, in full armour, transfixing a dragon, so gently, as it were, inadvertently, is just behind Gabriel. A very fair St. Catherine of Alexandria stands very erect behind the Virgin, and has her shattered wheel at her feet. The Almighty, surrounded with Cherubim, contemplates from above. And, finally, the donor of the picture in the midst of the inscription, "Benvenuto Joannis, 1466, " is below in profile. It is a lovely vision. The Franciscan who went round with me informed me that San Bernardino brought this picture with him from Siena in order to present it to this Church.
