Note. ' These pictures are still preserved in Casa Pucci. Ed. Flor., 1846-1849.' Vol. ii, page 233. Mrs. Foster's Edition. Mentioned in Herbert P. Home's Sandro Botticelli (London, 1908) : ' The arms which Botticelli introduced into the third and [this, the fourth and] last [of the] panels of the series, show that these pictures must have been painted to celebrate the marriage of one of the Pucci with a lady of the Bini family. CATALOGUE OF PICTURES 7 'According to an elementary law of Italian, as well as of English, heraldry, when the arms of a husband and a wife are impaled, the arms of the husband are invariably blasoned on the dexter side of the shield, and those of the wife on the sinister side. That the bridegroom was a Pucci, and not a Bini, is further shown by the single shield of the Pucci which occurs on both panels. 'These pictures were, no doubt, painted to celebrate the marriage of Griannozzo Pucci with his second wife, Lucrezia, the daughter of Piero di Giovanni Bini, in 1483. ' The arms of the Medici were doubtlessly introduced into these pictures, in compliment to the chief citizen of the Florentine Republic ; for the family of the Pucci, as Jacopo Nardi records, had always been " molto affezionata e devota alia grandezza de' Medici ". ' These pictures remained in the possession of the Pucci family, in their palace in the Via de 1 Pucci, until 1868, when they were sold " to an English gentleman ". This was Mr. Alexander Barker of London.' From the collection of Mr. Alexander Barker, June 1879. From the collection of Mr. Frederick R.
