1495. CHRIST DISPUTING WITH THE DOCTORS.

_Ludovico Mazzolino_ (Ferrarese: 1480-1528). _See 169._

This brilliant and characteristic little picture, containing

twenty-eight delicately and elaborately finished figures, is enriched

with one of Mazzolino's usual backgrounds of marble bas-reliefs. The

lower of them represents Moses showing the Tables of the Law to the

Israelites. The upper, the battle between the Israelites and the

Philistines, with David beheading Goliath.
