"Like all great masters, Raphael was perfectly aware of the necessity for generalizing in a monumental picture, and when we

turn to his version of Homer, Virgil and Dante, we soon discern how cleverly he confined himself to the broader characteristics required to suggest the individuality of the person represented.

The head of Homer] is moulded on that of Jove, whilst each feature separately reminds us of the agonized face of the Laocoon... Equally fine are the Virgil and the Dante, though both are duly subordinate to their inspired chief; and Dante presents the mask, the dress and colours preserved by Giotto and his followers, and described in the Centiloquio of Pucci. The bye-play is admirable in the group. Virgil, at Homer's side, calls Dante's attention to the music of the god; Dante carries the volume of the Divine comedy, in which he acknowledged the mastership of Virgil.... The noble heads of Homer, Dante, and Virgil, on one sheet at Windsor, are marvels of design unsurpassed by anything that Raphael ever drew.. Dante is full of portentous earnestness. Equal grandeur distinguishes the pen drawing for the whole figure in the Albertina " -Crowe and Cavalcaselle, Raphael, his life and works, 1885, vol. ii, pp. 82-85.

Mr. Morris Moore, into whose possession the portrait came in 1857, believed it to have been copied by Raphael from the Bargello portrait The face in the present portrait, however, is turned to the right, there is a laurel crown above the cap, and the cloak is fastened with two peculiarly shaped bows, -three points of detail in which it differs from the Bargello portrait, to say nothing of the difference in expression. Mr. Moore claimed that the panel was painted for Raphael's friend, Cardinal Bembo, and from the latter's family passed into that of Gradenigo of Venice, and thence into the possession of the Counts Capodilista of Padua.

JAN VAN Der straet, (Latin STRADANUS).

An ornate plate (8 × 10% in) in the Dante portfolio, i, (Ioan. Stradanus invent. C. Galle excud.) contains a portrait of Dante, with a medallion of Beatrice Portinari above, and of Virgil and Statius below. In the four corners of the engr. are plans of hell, purgatory, the heavens and paradise.

The portrait of Dante, reversed, Esme de Boulonois (?) fecit, is reproduced in an engr. of which there are two impressions in the Dante portfolio, i: -(1) on a leaf from some publication of the "Académie des sciences et des arts," liv. v, pp. 305-306; (2) on a sheet (7 X 11% in.) without any letter-press. On neither is the name of Stradanus mentioned. The portrait is copied in the frontisp, to Morigia's designs for the exterior of Dante's tomb, Florentiae, 1783 (see PART II).

The pose of Dante's head and his dress remind one of the Tofanelli-Morghen portrait of 1795. In both Dante is represented as holding in front of him a closed book, with the right hand in Tofanelli's picture, with both hands in that by Stradanus. It is from the latter, rather than from Raphael Morghen, that the vignette on the title-page of the 1819-21 ed. of the Commedia is taken (the note on p. 16 of this Catalogue to the contrary.)

The date and location of the original of this painting by Stradanus are unknown. Nothing is said of it in the recendy published reproductions of his illustrations to the Divine comedy made in 1587.

PORTRAITS FROM MANUSCRIPTS. FLORENCE.

Biblioteca Laurenziana.

Codice 174 (Strozziano). Full length figure of Dante, standing on a small platform, with an open book in his hands. Several books are also lying at his feet. Reproduced for the first time in an engr. (Giunio Carbone disegnò, 1861) in L'album, 8 giugno, 1861, an. xxviii, distribuzione 17, (1017 G 124), where it is described by L. C. Ferrucci. A chromolithograph after a copy by C. Ciani is in A. Gotti's edition of the Vita nuova, 1890. A phototype from the original is in Berthier's edition of the Divina commedia, vol. i, 1892-[97].

Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale.

Palatina 320. Profile of Dante; head and shoulders. Pen drawing, lightly covered with water colors. An engr. by Livy is in Palermo's "Manoscritti palatini di Firenze," vol. ii, 1860, opp. p. [597], and a photo-engr. from the original is in Kraus, "Dante, sein Leben und sein Werk," 1897, p. 175. A photo-engr. from the latter is in Federn's "Dante," 1899, p. 174.

"Esso è evidentemente opera della seconda metà del secolo xv, alla quale età deve del pari riportarsi la scrittura del libro, non ostante che il cavaliere Palermo l'abbia nel catalogo di quella biblioteca assegnato al secolo antecedente." - Milanesi and Passerini, Primo rapporto.

Kraus considers this the most important portrait of Dante after that in the Bargello, believing it the production, at first or second hand, of some one who knew Dante. He would date it from the fourteenth rather than the fifteenth century. Palermo and others have rashly attributed it to Giotto. It resembles in some respects the Bargello fresco, but represents the poet as of maturer age.

Biblioteca Riccardiana.

Codice 1040. Profile of Dante; head and shoulders. Photo. made for Prof. G. R. Carpenter, and by him presented to this Collection. In Dante portfolio, iv.

Also a small phot., 2 X 25% in. (1o), a phototype in Locella's "Dante in der deutschen Kunst," 1890, -photo-engrs. in Kraus, "Dante, sein Leben und sein Werk," 1897, p. 183, and on the title-page of the reprint of the Duke of Sermoneta's "Lettere al conte Carlo Troya," 1900, (1019 G 230).

In the Dante portfolio, iii, is a souvenir postal card published by L. Franceschini e C, Firenze, 1900, containing a photo-engr. of this portrait. An etching is given in the 1888 ed. of the Commedia with the comment of Talice da Ricaldone, and the same plate forms the frontisp. to Negroni's "Del ritratto di Dante," 1888, who gives a lengthy argument in support of the authenticity of the portrait.

This portrait was adjudged the most authentic of existing portraits of Dante by the governmental commission of 1864, consisting of G. Milanesi and L. Passerini. The verdict of the commission has not been accepted by scholars generally. The portrait dates probably from the second half of the fifteenth century. MODENA.

Biblioteca Estense.

Ms. VIII. F. 22. Full length figure of Dante, seated before a table on which are writing materials and an open book. Phototype in Prompt, “Les œuvres latines apocryphes du Dante," 1893, plate 2.

ENGRAVED PORTRAITS.
Sixteenth Century.

The earliest engraved portrait of Dante in this collection is a wdct. on the title-page of the 1521 ed. of the Convito. It is characterized by strength of profile and the introduction of landscape for a background. Similar in general outline is the inferior wdct. on the title-page of the 1529 ed. of the Convito, but here Dante wears the vair tippet of a doctor of divinity. The 1529 ed. of the Commedia contains on the reverse of the title-page a large wdet. resembling that of 1521 in its simplicity, but being of superior workmanship and without a background; a reduced wdct. of it is in Giornale dantesco, 1900, an. viii, p. 131.

On the title-page of Giolito's Venetian ed. of 1536 is engraved an oval vignette, with profile view of a bust of Dante. The plate was also used in Morando's Venetian ed. of 1554. The head is copied, reversed and reduced in size, in a medallion on the title-page of the Lyons ed. of 1547, and, with the expression somewhat softened, in that of 1551, with its reissue of 1552. (The same medallion appears on the title-page of Brocchi's "Lettere sopra Dante," 1835.) Resembling the latter in its expression, but looking like a cut of an antique bust, is the oval vignette in Giolito's ed. of 1555. This is reproduced by Ford in his translation of the Inferno, 1865, and of the Divina commedia, 1870. Ford remarks upon an imaginary resemblance between it and the Bargello fresco. To this series of medallions belongs that on the title-page of Quadrio's edition of the Sette salmi penitenziali, 1753.

Presumably of the 16th century is an engr. from a metal plate (7% × 834 in.) in the Dante portfolio, i. It is inscribed at the bottom: Dante Alighieri po[eta]. Its source is unknown, but it probably comes from some series of engravings of famous men. To such a series belongs the much smaller copy of the plate (1% X 3 in.), inscribed:

Dantes Aligeri Poeta Florentinus. (Also in Dante portfolio, i.) The peculiarities of the cap, wreath, and cloak, as well as the expression, connect these with a highly ornate plate (64 X 8% in., closely trimmed) of unknown source, inscribed: Dante Alighieri poeta fiorentino. (In Dante portfolio, i.) The pose of the head and the characteristic details of the dress are reproduced in the miniature medallion of Dante on the title-page of Grangier's French translation of the Commedia, 1596, 1597, (Thomas de Leu sc.).

The editions of 1564, 1578, and 1596, published at Venice by Sessa, have on their title-pages an ornamental wdct. portrait of Dante which, according to Colomb de Batines, i, p 98, gave rise to the designation of these editions as edizioni del gran naso. is reproduced in Yriarte's "Françoise de Rimini," 1880, where it is erroneously stated to be from the Giunta edition.

It

In Dante portfolio, i, are two impressions of a portrait of Dante said to have been engraved by Theodore de Bry, Frankfort, 1597 (4% X 5% in.) One of them formed page 72 of some work, presum ably the "Icones virorum illustrium doctrina et eruditione præstantium, cum eorum vitis descriptis a J.J. Boissardo [and J. A. Lonicerus]; omnia in æs incisa per T. de Bry," Frankfort, 1597-99. This page has on its reverse the conclusion of an account of Albertus Magnus; the second impression is without any letter-press. The face is in profile, the head-dress resembles that of some monastic order, and over it is the poet's wreath. Below are inscribed the words: " Qui potuit patria magnum Florentia Datem pellere, nempe illo digna Ravena fuit.”

Eighteenth Century.

1754. Tomm. Gentili del. C. Gregory sc. This engr. illustrating the anonymous Vita di Dante" in the Magazzino toscano, 1754, tom. i, pp. 10-16, is the earliest dated portrait in this collection which gives the type of face made known to all by the Tofanelli-Morghen portrait of 1795. "Il ritratto," says the author of the article in a note on p. 16, è ricavato da uno molto antico e ben conser vato; molti de' più recenti che si veggono ne' luoghi pubblici in Toscana, e nella più parte delle nobilissime case fiorentine e codici con miniature, somigliano questo nostro." A separate copy of this engr. is in the Dante portfolio, i, and a comparison of it with the plate of 1757 (described below) shows that the two must have had a common origin.

1757. An anonymous engr. "tratto da un antico originale che trovasi nella Toscana" illustrates vol. i of Zatta's edition of Dante's works, 1757-58. It was also used in the 1759 ed. of Pelli's "Memorie" and copied in Zatta's cheaper edition of Dante's works, 1760. Zatta speaks of it as having been engraved but a short time before in Leghorn, and Paur, basing his information on a letter from Witte, refers to the portrait as appearing in the "Serie di ritratti di illustri toscani," Firenze, 1766, where it was stated that the picture belonged to Giovanni Battista Dei. In the Dante portfolio, i, is an engr. cavato da un quadro antico appresso il sigre Gio. Batta Dei antiquario di S. M. I. [il granduca]. Gius. Zocchi del. Franc. Allegrini sc. 1761." This, no doubt, is the plate to which Witte had reference. The pose of the head, the arrangement of the cap and wreath, and the style of dress, are identical with those in Gregory's engr. of the painting by Tommaso Gentili, who would seem to be the artist of the original painting spoken of as belonging to G. B. Dei.

1767. An engr. from a portrait formerly in the possession of M. de Floncel, royal censor in Paris, forms the frontisp. to the 1768 Paris ed. of the Commedia, Littret del. sc. 1767. It is copied in the 1819 London ed., C. Knight sculp. Copies of both of these plates are in the Dante portfolio, i, where is also an engr., almost identical with that by Knight, but very strangely signed: Raphael pinxt. A. Cor don sculp. The explanation would seem to be that the engraver had noted the resemblance between this and Tofanelli's painting engraved by Raphael Morghen. The engraver may have confused Raphael Morghen with Raphael Sanzio and so have felt at liberty to sign the plate simply Raphael pinxt. Certainly he could not have fancied any connection between this portrait and the frescoes by Raphael Sanzio in the Vatican.

1771. A poor engr. (Vincen. Tarchj. del. et scul.) in vol. i of the 1771-74 ed. of the Commedia, follows in a general way those of 1754 and 1757. Tofanelli Morghen.

1795. Idealized portrait of Dante. Engr. Slefano Tofanelli delined. Raffaello Morghen incise in Firenze. 9% X 12% in. (17)

This plate was first published in the 1795 folio edition of the Commedia with Dionisi's comment, (copy in the Harvard collection). It is also found in the Cornell copy of 1804-09 edition, with Rosini's notes. The careful copy of the original plate which is found in the Harvard copy of the Pisan ed. of 1830 is lacking in the Cornell copy.

Of Tofanelli's painting nothing is known. The portrait idealizes the type of face in the engrs. of 1754 and 1757 (described above).

Nineteenth Century.

cir. 1800. T. Stothard. A portrait bearing some slight resemblance to that by Bernardino India. Engr. (R. H. Cromek sc.) in Boyd's transla tion of the Commedia, 1802.

cir. 1810. Giuseppe Bossi. A_portrait_by this artist, at one time owned by the Marquis Trivulzio, is engraved in the Roveta ed. of the Commedia, 1820, and on a larger scale in the Milan ed. of the Convito, 1826, (Gigola dis. Fioroni inc.).

1820-21. A full-faced, rather poorly executed engr. (Bramati dis. Rados inc.) in the Milan ed. of the Commedia, 1820-21. The general cast of features would seem to connect this with the later and more frequently reproduced anonymous engr. of the Paduan ed. of 1822. This of 1820 is distinguishable by a thin wreath of laurels around the

cap.

The plate is used also in the Milan editions of 1829, 1830, 1851.

Same. Engr. E. Silvestri inc. (In Cesari, A. Bellezze della Divina commedia. 1845. Vol. i. Frontisp.)

Poor copies (P. Zandomeneghi dis. G. Dala inc.) are in the 1832 and 1833 editions of the Parnaso italiano," the 1832-33 and 1856-57 editions of the Commedia; - the Florentine ed. of 1840 (Lauro inc.); · -the Paris ed. of 1840 (unsigned); - the Turin ed. of 1840; - Kok's Dutch translation of the Inferno, n. d., (D. J. Sluyter sculps.).

toni.

1822. Unsigned engr. from unknown source in the 1822 Paduan ed. of the Commedia. If we can trust the inscription on a large-paper engr. of this portrait in the Dante portfolio, i, (G. Bossi dis. p. BetG. Garavaglia inc.) it would appear to be from a painting by a certain Bettoni. Paur suggests a connection between it and the so-called deathmask. It also bears considerable resemblance to Bossi's portrait (cir. 1810) and the engr. in the 1820-21 Milan ed. of the Divina commedia.

Same. [Oval.] Engr. H. C. Müller sc. 1823. Tom. i. (In Opere poetiche di Dante. Frontisp. Same. 1836.) A special impression of this plate (6 × 9 in.) is in the Dante portfolio, ì.

Same. Engr. Del Bene dis. P. Viviani inc. (In La divina commedia. Firenze, Le Monnier, 1837. Frontisp.)
