MILAN, CRESPI COLLECTION.
PORTRAIT OF CATERINA CORNARO. Canvas, 3 ft. 11 in. x 3 ft. 2 in.
From the Alessandro Martinengo Gallery, Brescia (1640), thence to Collection Francesco Riccardi, Bergamo, where C. and C. saw it in 1877. They state it was engraved in the line series of Sala. It has been known traditionally both as Caterina Cornaro and “La Schiavona.” (See p. 74.)
In the signature T.V. it is clear that the V represents the last letter but one in TITIANVS. The first three letters can just be made out. There are many pentimenti on the marble parapet, which seems to have been painted over the dress.

STORM AT SEA CALMED BY S. MARK. Wood, 11 ft. 8 in. x 13 ft. 6 in. [No. 516.]
From the Scuola di S. Marco, where it was companion piece to Paris Bordone’s “Fisherman and Doge.” Ascribed by Vasari to Palma Vecchio, by Zanetti to Giorgione.
Too damaged to admit of definite judgment. (See p. 55.)
THREE FIGURES. Half-lengths; a woman fainting, supported by a man; another behind.
Modern copy by Fabris of apparently a missing original. Can this be the picture mentioned by C. and C. as in the possession of the King of Holland? (C. and C. ii. 149, note.) Cf. also, Notes to Sansoni’s Vasari, iv. p. 104. Another version is at Buckingham Palace (q.v.), but it differs in detail from this copy.
