The second is the "Adrastus and Hypsipyle'-

Prince Giovanelli, at Venice The third is the
"f1neas Evander and Palas." at Vienna After
these come the ten or twelve pictures which are
ascribed to him with fair probability that the
description is correct but about which some
critics have held doubtful opinions. Mr. Cook
cheerfully adds to this list. He has made up his
mind that Gorgione has been deprived Of GER
tain OF his pictures for better reason than
that the authorities have only wished to recognize
his art when they could find examples OF it at
its best He rightly believes that Giorgione. like
every great master. had his less felicitous mo-
ments and ne has sought not much for i'll
dubitable triumphs as for works revealing the
painters pecuiarities of style
The quest has yielded much interesting ma

to find him writing about Giorgione with candor.

His work and the early work of Titan have

1,ione which only that master could have put
