The Directors of the New Gallery and the Secretary desire to tender their most grateful thanks to Lord Carlisle and the members of the Committee for the assistance they have afforded in organising the present Exhibition, and for the valuable contributions, which they and other ladies and gentlemen have made of pictures, bronzes and*other works of art. They also wish to record their deep sense of obligation to those who have taken a more active part in the practical organisation of the Exhibition ; in particular to Mr. Grueber and Mr. Isidore Spielman, for their arduous labours in the arrangement of the various exhibits and in the pre- paration of the catalogue ; and to Mr. Sidney Colvin, Mr. Fairfax Murray, Dr. Richter, Mr. C. H. Read, Mr. Lionel Cust, Mr. Everard Green, Mr. Laking Mr. R. R. Holmes, Mr. Cockerell, Mr. Charles Davis, Mr. St. John Hope, and Mr. Jenner, for the advice and assistance they have given in the selection of the various exhibits. Vlll Prefatory Note. The Directors of the New Gallery hope next winter to complete the illus- tration of early Italian art by an Exhibition of the arts of Venice, Padua, Verona, Bologna and P'errara, cities which have not been represented on the present occasion. LEONARD C. LINDSAY, Secretary . Note on the Arrangement of the Exhibition. — Although no strictly chronological order has been attempted in the placing of the pictures, an endeavour has been made to group together artists of the same period and of the same cities : but in some instances , owing to the exigencies of the hanging this has not been adhered to. The Committee have also considered that it would make the section of the Printed Books more interesting if works printed in Venice were included in the present Exhibition. In the case of works of art other than pictures the period has been extended to the end of the 16th Century. CATALOGUE. The Numbers commence in the South Gallery and continue from left to right . *** Throughout the Catalogue , in describing the pictures , the RIGHT and the LEFT mean those of the spectator facing the picture . The works are catalogued under the names given to them by the Contributors . The Committee cannot be responsible in all cases for the attributions. SOUTH GALLERY. FIRST ROOM.

Nastagio degli Onesti being in love with a daughter of Paolo Traversaro has his suit rejected, the family of the lady being nobler than his own. He accordingly leaves Ravenna for Chiassi ; and one day, while walking disconsolately in the pine woods, sees the apparition of a naked lady pursued by a horseman and dogs. He endeavours ineffec- tually to defend her ; but the horseman dismounts, and, plunging his sword into her body, tears out her heart and throws it to his dogs, who devour it. He then tells Nastagio that she has to suffer this punishment on the same spot every Friday for her cruelty to him 3 ° Exhibition of Early Italian Art. [west gallery. when alive. Nastagio, thinking it would be a warning to his own mistress, invites her to a feast in the woodson the following Friday, and the same apparition then appears, to the great terror of the guests.

Canzoni distese del chiarissimo Poeta Dante Allighieri di Firenze. Folio. Ssec. xiv. on vellum. Written during the life-time of Petrarch, or immediately after his death, for Lorenzo the son of Carlo degli Strozzi (a member of one of the noblest families of Florence), by Paul the Scribe, as appears by the colophon : “ Gratissimi spetiosique hujus voluminis adepto Jiet Laus sit et Gloria Deo qui Laurentio Karoli de Strocqis qui ipsum fieri fecit Pauloque Scriptori ejusdem felicem tribuat vitam per tempora longiora. Amen.” The volume is adorned with large initial letters, and three illuminated borders , containing portraits of the Poets and their Inamoratas, executed in the style of Florentine art at that period, with the arms of the Strozzi emblazoned in the bottom compartment of the first two. From the colophon in which Laurentius de Strozzis is called Filius Karoli without th € quondam, the Beatce Memories , or any other formula to the same effect, which, no doubt, would have been used at that time in Italy, if Karolus was dead when that colophon was written, it is clear that he was still alive at that moment ; and, as this cele- brated Florentine died at a very advanced age in 1383, the volume was written before that time, but how long it is difficult to ascertain. All we can say is, that Lorenzo (for whom this volume was written) had five sisters, who, as early as the year 1331, were all nuns in the Monastery of St. Dominic at Florence (See Litta), and no doubt he had arrived at the age of manhood, and was quite able to collect fine books long before the year 1383.

Rome. (Conrad Sweynheym et) Arnoldus Buckinck, vi Idus Octobris, 1478. The letterings of the names are punched not engraved. The engraving of these maps was commenced by Conrad Sweynheym, when he retired from his association with Pannartz. The first leaf tells us that he was employed upon them for three years, after which he died ; and, that his work should not perish with him, it was taken up by Buckinck, who assumes all the credit in the colophon. It is commonly said that the Euclid of 1482 is the first book with mathematical figures, but we find here on ff. 9 and 10 woodcuts to illustrate the projection of the sphere used for the maps. It is the second book printed with copperplate engravings, the first being the ' Mo?ite Sancto di Dio of Bettini, in 1477. 1379 . Berlinghieri, Francesco.
