 returned to Madrid in 1822. Many copies: one by Giulio Romano in Palazzo Pitti, Florence, has a lizard in foreground, whence called Madonna della Lucertola; another, attributed to same, at Hampton Court, without lizard, called M. della Quercia (of the Oak), a name applied sometimes also to the Madrid example. Engraved by G. Bonasone, Diana Mantovana, Ag. Carracci (etching), Carattoli, and others.—Gruyer, Vierges de Raphael, iii. 382; Passavant, ii. 249; Madrazo, 194.

HOLY FAMILY OF LORETO, Raphael, original lost; figure to knees, life-size. Virgin, standing behind couch of Jesus, lifts the veil which covers him; St. Joseph, leaning on a staff, behind in contemplation. Painted in Rome about 1512-13 by order of Cardinal Riario for S. M. del Popolo; supposed to have been given in 1717 to the shrine of Loreto, whence its present name. It disappeared at the close of the last century, and is only known now through its many copies. Discovery of original often announced, but without good evidence. Poor copy in Louvre; better example lately placed in South Kensington Museum by Dr. Axell Lamm, of Stockholm. This is probably the copy mentioned by Passavant as "peu remarquable," in the possession of the sculptor Bystroem at Stockholm. Engraved by Michele Lucchese (1553); Paulus Caronni.—Vasari, ed. Mil., iv. 339; Passavant, ii. 100; Müntz, 375; Gruyer, Vierges de Raphael, iii. 310; Springer (Dohme 2ii.), 191; Filhol, iv. Pl. 230.

HOLY FAMILY OF THE PALM (Vierge au Palmier), Raphael, Bridgewater House, London; wood, transferred to canvas; round, 3 ft. 4 in. diameter. The Virgin, seated under a palm, holds Jesus astride of her knee by means of her veil, one end of which is swathed around his body; St. Joseph, on one knee, offers flowers to the child, who stretches out both hands to receive them. Probably the second of two painted in Florence in 1506 for Taddeo Taddei. Belonged before 1680 to Countess de Chiverni in Paris, then to Marquise d'Aumont, who sold it for 5,000 livres to M. de la Noue; from his collection passed to President Tambonneau, and thence to the Orleans collection, at the sale of which (1798) bought by Earl of Bridgewater for £1,200. Two vertical splits in the panel have necessitated repainting. Drawing in the Louvre. Copied by Philippe de Champagne for the Abbey of Port Royal. Engraved by E. Rousselet (1656), Jean Reymond, Felix Massard, and Achille Martinet (1844).—Vasari, ed. Mil., iv. 321; Passavant, ii. 38; Müntz, 188; C.
