MADONNA OF SERRAVALLE, Titian, S. Andrea, Serravalle; canvas, arched at top, H. 14 ft. × 7 ft.; signed. The Virgin and Child on clouds, surrounded by cherubim in a glory; below, SS. Peter and Andrew; in the distance, Christ in a fishing-*boat, calling Peter and Andrew from their nets. Painted in 1547.

MADONNA DE LA SERVILLETA (of the Napkin), Murillo, Seville Museum; canvas, H. 2 ft. 2 in. × 2 ft. 3 in. The Virgin, half-length, holds Jesus on her left arm; he is in lively action, apparently struggling out of her arms. Painted about 1676 for altar of Capuchin Church, Seville. Doubtful story that it was painted on a dinner-napkin for a lay-brother who served Murillo as cook, the artist having used all his canvas. Similar story told by Davies concerning a Head of Christ.

MADONNA, SOLLY, Raphael, Berlin Museum; wood, H. 2 ft. × 1 ft. 4 in. Virgin, reading, holds in her left hand one foot of the Child, who is playing with a gold-*finch.

MADONNA DELLA STELLA, Fra Angelico, S. Marco, Florence. Properly a Coronation of the Virgin. A small, picture under glass, a work of great beauty, finished like a miniature. Formerly in S. M. Novella.

MADONNA DELLA TENDA (of the Curtain), Raphael, Munich Gallery; wood, H. 2 ft. 7 in. × 1 ft. 9 in. The Virgin seated, her right arm around Jesus, who sits on her knees; Infant St. John behind, with his reed cross, in adoration; green curtain in background. Similar in composition to M. della Sedia. Sometimes called Vierge à la Croix. Painted in Rome about 1516. A doubtful story is, that the picture, formerly in the Escorial, was taken to France in 1813, and thence to England, where Sir Thomas Baring bought it for £4,000, and in 1814 sold it to the Prince of Bavaria for £5,000. Such a picture was owned by Mr. J. Purling in 1789. Many copies; one of best in Turin Gallery. Original sketch in possession of Duke of Devonshire. Engraved by P. Toschi; Tomkins; Hopwood; Vedovato (1796); J. C. Thevenin (1852).—Pinak. zu
