Tintoretto, his hair white with age, his eyes filled with tears, is painting the por- trait of his dead daughter, Maria Robusti, whose beautiful features and blonde tresses, lighted by a lamp concealed behind a red curtain, make her appear rather asleep than dead. The face of Tintoretto is from his portrait in the Louvre, but that of Maria is much more beautiful than her portrait pre- served at Florence. Engraved by Achille Martinet. Lithographed by Aug. Lemoine. Larousse, xv. 218. TIRATELLI, AURELIO, born in Rome in 1842. Genre and landscape painter, pupil of Accademia di S.
