SOME INFLUENCES 



by the necessity of continually referring back to the 

 same painting. So the old arrangement of Schools, 

 misleading though it tends to be, has been fallen back 

 upon. With Venice have been grouped Brescia, Ber- 

 gamo, and Verona ; with Ferrara, Bologna ; and with 

 Lombardy, Parma. 



Animals painted with a merely symbolic or heraldic 

 intention have as a rule been excluded from consideration. 

 Thus the dove of the Annunciation and the symbols 

 of the Evangelists have not been noticed, although 

 St. Jerome's lion, which often gets greater naturalism 

 and freedom of treatment, has. In the same way 

 family badges, such as the Sforza eagle, the Borgia 

 bull, the Buffalini buffalo, or the Visconti serpent, are 

 not mentioned.
