For the rest, I should mention two charming Guardis; a rich little Canaletto; a nice scene of sheep by Jacopo Bassano; the portrait of an unknown young man by an unknown painter, No.

1157; and Tintoretto's daring "Abraham and Isaac".
The other Venetian room is almost wholly devoted to portraits, chief among them being a red-headed Tintoretto burning furiously, No.

613, and Titian's sly and sinister Caterina Cornaro in her gorgeous dress, No.

648; Piombo's "L'Uomo Ammalato"; Tintoretto's Jacopo Sansovino, the sculptor, the grave old man holding his calipers who made that wonderful Greek Bacchus at the Bargello; Schiavone's ripe, bearded "Ignoto," No.
