_Three Picture Queries._--1. Kugler (_Schools of Painting in Italy_, edited
by Sir Charles Eastlake, 2nd edit., 1851, Part II. p. 284.), speaking of
Leonardo da Vinci's cartoon, representing the victory of the Florentines in
1440 over Nicolo Picinnino, general of the Duke of Milan, and which has now
perished, says:
"Rubens copied from Leonardo's, a group of four horsemen fighting for a
standard: this is engraved by Edelingk, and is just sufficient to make
us bitterly deplore the loss of this rich and grand work."
Does this picture exist? Does Edelingk's engraving state in whose
possession it was then?
2. Where can I find any account of a painter named St. Denis? From his name
and style, he appears to have been French, and to have flourished
subsequently to 1700.
3. Titian painted Charles III., Duke of Bourbon and Constable of France,
who was killed May 6, 1527, at the siege of Rome. Where is this picture? It
is said to have been engraved by Nörsterman. Where may I see the engraving?
