In answer to a Query respectinn; Raffaelle's pic- 

 tures in England, I give the following list of them, 

 which on the whole is taken from Passavant's 

 work, Rafael von Urbino tind sein Vater Giov. 

 Santi; but has been corrected according to those 

 alterations which I know to have taken place 

 since the time of the publication of that work 

 (1839): — 



1. Vision of a Knight^ bought by Mr. Otlley at 

 the Gallery Borghese at Rome; passed tlirough the 

 Lands of Sir Thomas Lawrence, Lady Sykes, the 

 Rev. Thomas Egerton, into the Naticmal Gallery. 



2. Portrait of a Youth of about fifteen years of 

 age; at Hampton Court (mentinned in the Cata- 

 logue of pictures of James II. as a portrait of 

 Raffaelle himself. No. 123.) 



3. Christ on the Mount of Olives, came from 

 the Gallery Gabielli in Rome into the possession 

 of Mr. Coiiyiigham ; now at Stanstead House

4. & 5. Tuto Madonnas, in the possession of 

 Earl Cow{)er, at Panshanger (bought by Earl 

 Cowper, wlio was Brit. Ambassador at Florence).

 a pupil of Raffaelle's ; was in Mr. S. Rogers's 

 collection. 



7. Christ bearing his Cross, Mr. P. J. Miles, at 

 Leigh Court, near Bristol. 



8. The same subject in the Bridgewater Gal- 

 lery is of doubtful origin. 



9. The body of Christ, on the knees of the 

 Virgin, bought by Sir Thomas Lawrence at 

 Munich ; now in the possession of Mr. M. A. 

 Whyte, Barron Hill, Ashborne, Derbyshire. 



10. Madonna, at Blenheim ; bought in 1764 at 

 Perugia, by Lord Robert Spencer, who presented 

 it to his brother, the Duke of Marlborough. (St. 

 Franciscus and St. Antonius of Padua, at Dul- 

 wich College, are not by Raffaelle.) 



11. John the Baptist preaching, in the posses- 

 sion of the Marquis of Lansdowne, at Bowood. 



12. Holi/ Family, with the palm tree, in the 

 Bridgewater Collection. 



13. The three Graces, bought by Sir Thomas 

 Lawrence ; from whose collection it came into the 

 possession of the late Lord Dudley and Ward. 



14. St. Catarina of Alexandria, from the Gal- 

 lery Aldobrandini in Rome ; bought by Mr. Day, 

 the artist, passed into the hands of Mr. Beckford, 

 at Bath ; now in the National Gallery. 



15. Portrait of a Marquis of Mantua; men- 

 tioned in the Catalogue of pictures of Charles I., 

 afterwards said to have been in the collection of 

 Cardinal Richelieu ; brought to England 1814 by 

 a Mr. Buchanan ; in 1839 in the possession of 

 Ed. Gray in London, 



16. Madonna, Aldobrandini; bought at the 

 Gallery Aldobrandini by Mr. Day, exhibited in 

 London, bought by Lord Garvagh; now in the 

 possession of his widow. 



17. Madonna of the Bridgewater Gallery. 



18. Madonna with the Child standing; was in 

 Mr. Rogers's Collection (first bought by Mr. Wil- 

 let from the Orleans Collection). 



19. The Cartoons at Hampton Court. 



The following pictures have been attributed to 

 Raffaelle, but, according to Passavant, are not by 

 him : — 



20. The Madonna del Passeggio, in the Bridge- 

 water Gallery, is only a copy, the original of 

 which by Raffaelle is not to be found. Another 

 copy is at Kedleston Hall, Derbyshire (seat of 

 Lord Scarsdale). 



21. Ascension of the Virgin, was formerly in 

 the cathedral of Pisa ; bought by Sir James 

 Wright, now in the possession of E. Solly, E«q. 

 Dr. Waagen thinks that the composition of this 

 pictui'e is certainly by Raffaelle, but was left un- 

 finished, and has very likely been finished by 

 Ridolfo Ghirlandajo. 



22. Charitas and Spes, two small pictures 

 which were in the Gidlery Borghese in Rome, 

 were afterwards in the possession of Sir Thomas 

 Lawrence; and the first of which belongs now to 

 Mr. Neehi, the second to Mr. Henry Hope in 

 London, are both by a pupil of Raffaelle's, pro- 

 bably Gio. Francesco Penni. 



23. Portrait of Frederico Carondelet, in the 

 possession of the Duke of Grafton. 



24. Dorothea, in the collection at Blenheim. 



25. Portrait of a young man, in Sir Thomas 

 Baring's Collection. 



26. Portrait of Pope Julius II., in the National 

 Gallery, is a copy. E. B.
