According to Ruskin's estimate, there have been only seven supreme colorists among the world's true painters whose works ex- ist to-day—namely, Glorgione, Titan, Veronese, Tintoret, Correggio, Reynolde and Turner. This new Metropolitan accession !s an oil painting about six feet wide by three high, and represents the Doge Alvise Mocenigo kneeling in prayer before an open loggia, through which Is seen a fleet of vessels putting out to sea across the blue lagoon. A radiant apparition of the Saviour is balanced in the com- position by a group of the four patron saints of the Doge's family—John the Baptist, Augustine, John the Evangelist and Gregory. Evidently the work com- memorates some historic event assocl- ated with the aupremacy of Venice as a sea power. ‘Phe picture, which formerly belonged to a noble Venetian family, was bought in 1852 by John Ruskin, and hung for many years in the dining-room of his house at Denmark @il!!, London.
