A Wanderer in Florence

CHAPTER XI
18/38

703--the Madonna Enthroned; a masterpiece of drawing by Duerer, "Calvary"; an austere and poignant Transportation of Christ to the Sepulchre, by Roger van der Weyden (1400-1464); and several very beautiful portraits by Memling, notably Nos.

769 and 780 with their lovely evening light.

Memling, indeed, I never liked better than here.

Other fine pictures are a Spanish prince by Lucas van Leyden; an old Dutch scholar by an artist unknown, No.

784; and a young husband and wife by Joost van Cleef the Elder, and a Breughel the Elder, like an old Crome--a beauty--No.
