GIORNO, IL (The Day), or Madonna of St. Jerome, Correggio, Parma Gallery; wood, H. 6 ft. 6 in. × 4 ft. 8 in. The Virgin, with Jesus on her arm, sitting; Jesus is playing with the hair of the Magdalen, who is half kneeling beside him; behind her is a boy with a vase of ointment; on the other side, St. Jerome, with the lion behind him, is standing, carrying a book which an angel aids him in supporting. Called Il Giorno because represented in full daylight, and to distinguish it from La Notte. Ordered in 1523 by Donna Briseide Colla Bergonzi, of Parma, and placed in 1528 in S. Antonio Abbate. Carried to Paris, but returned in 1816, though the French government is said to have offered 1,000,000 francs for it.

GIOTTINO, born (?), died after 1369. Florentine school. Probably identical with Giotto di Maestro Stefano, whose name appears in the register of Florentine painters in 1368. Vasari calls him Tommaso di Stefano, and says he was born in 1324, thus confounding him with Maso di Banco (died after 1351), whom Ghiberti makes the pupil of Giotto, and who was admitted to the guild of Speziali in 1343, and to the Company of St. Luke in 1350. To Maso, Ghiberti ascribes the series of frescos in the chapel of S. Silvestro in S. Croce, Florence, representing the legend of Constantine, while Vasari, who made one painter out of two, gives them to Giottino. The fresco of the Last Judgment in the Bardi Chapel, S. Croce, belonging to the monument of Ubertino de' Bardi, is probably by the artist who painted two frescos, the Birth and Crucifixion of Christ,
