_Ascribed to Liberale da Verona_ (Veronese: 1451-1535).
_See 1134._
Painted probably to adorn the front of a _cassone_ or marriage-chest.
"The buildings of the forum in which the pyre stands are copied from
well-known monuments at Verona. In the background on the left are seen
two spectators in the everyday costume of the artist's contemporaries.
The one on the left-hand side seems from his dress to be a German.
Dürer has portrayed himself in an exactly similar way. The identity
of the person thus represented will always remain hypothetical;
nevertheless, the soldier leaning on his lance, on the extreme right,
points directly to Dürer, for the figure is taken from a well-known
engraving by him" (Dr. Richter in the _Art Journal_, February 1895).
