soon found the new treasure which has
recently been added to these almost
endless collections. 1t is a Madonna

partment since the celebrated bas-re-
lief of the Virgin, painted and gilded
terra-cotta, brought from Florence in
1881. These two monuments face each
other. The new sculpture belongs TO
the period which preceded and prepar-
