A Wanderer in Florence

CHAPTER X
25/26

The painting of the Virgin's head-dress is again marvellous.
Next the "Annunciation" on the left is, to my eyes, one of Botticelli's most attractive works: No.

1303, just the Madonna and Child again, in a niche, with roses climbing behind them: the Madonna one of his youngest, and more placid and simple than most, with more than a hint of the Verrocchio type in her face.

To the "School of Botticelli" this is sometimes attributed: it may be rightly.

Its pendant is another "Madonna and Child," No.

76, more like Lippo Lippi and very beautiful in its darker graver way.
The other wall has the "Fortitude," the "Calumny," and the two little "Judith and Holofernes" pictures.
