 right, infant St. John kissing the foot of the child; behind him, Joseph restraining him with one hand; at left, St. Catherine, making a gesture as if of silence. Bought in 1654 by Cardinal Leopoldo de' Medici, from collection of Paolo del Sera, Venice; placed in Uffizi in 1798.—Lasinio, Gal. de Florence, i. Pl. 71; Ridolfi, Marav., i. 325; Molini, Gal. di Firenze, ii. 85; Soc. Ed. and Paris, Gal. di Firenze, Pl. 83.

Attributed to Leonardo da Vinci, Hermitage, St. Petersburg; wood, H. 1 ft. 8 in. × 1 ft. 3 in. Composition similar to the Madonna of the Bas-relief, but infant St. John is omitted, and a young woman reading takes the place of Zacharias. This young woman is commonly called St. Catherine; it is probably a portrait of the sister-in-law of Leo X., who became the wife of Giulio de' Medici in 1518. Painted after 1490; belonged to Dukes of Mantua, and was lost when their palace was pillaged by the Germans. About 1770-77 it came into possession of Abbé Salvadori, secretary of Count Firmian, then Governor of Mantua. He concealed it, lest he should have to return it to the palace, and after his death it was sold by his heirs to agents of Catherine II.—Heaton, 232; Rigollot, Hist. des Arts, etc., i. 272; Kugler, ii. 283; Gal. de l'Hermitage; Vasari, ed. Mil., iv. 63.
