But to-day there are as good works outside it as in; for the Michelangelo has been moved to another room, and Botticelli (to name no other) is not represented here at all.

Probably the statue famous as the Venus de' Medici would be considered the Tribuna's chief possession; but not by me.

Nor should I vote either for Titian's Venus.

In sculpture I should choose rather the "Knife-sharpener," and among the pictures Raphael's "Madonna del Cardellino," No.1129.But this is not to suggest that everything is not a masterpiece, for it is.

Beginning at the door leading from the room of the little pictures, we find, on our left, Raphael's "Ignota," No.
