1295--in this room is far finer and sweeter; but at the Accademia and the Badia we are to see him at his best in this class of work.

None the less, No.

1295 is a charming thing, and the little Mother and her happy Child, whose big toe is being so reverently adored by the ancient mage, are very near real simple life.

This artist, we shall see, always paints healthy, honest babies.

The seaport in the distance is charming too.
Ghirlandaio's place in this room is interesting on account of his relation to Michelangelo as first instructor; but by the time that the great master's "Holy Family," hanging here, was painted all traces of Ghirlandaio's influence had disappeared, and if any forerunner is noticeable it is Luca Signorelli.
