The chief treasures are the Titians, the Giorgiones, the Mantegnas, the Carpaccio, and the Bellini allegory.

These alone would make the Uffizi a Mecca of connoisseurs.

Giorgione is to be found in his richest perfection at the Pitti, in his one unforgettable work that is preserved there, but here he is wonderful too, with his Cavalier of Malta, black and golden, and the two rich scenes, Nos.

621 and 630, nominally from Scripture, but really from romantic Italy.

To me these three pictures are the jewels of the Venetian collection.
