2502. VIRGIN AND CHILD.

_Bastiano Mainardi_ (Tuscan: died 1513).

This painter was the pupil, favourite assistant, and

brother-in-law of Domenico Ghirlandajo (see 1230). He was born

at San Gimignano, in the churches of which place pictures by

him are to be seen.

The beautiful painting of jewellery, and the fine patterns, should not

escape notice.
