 The four following Pictures were purchased in Italy by 
 the late Right Hon. Sir Henry Layard. 
 
 SANDEO BOTTICELLI. 
 32 THE HOLY TEINITY AND SAINTS 
 
 _ The crucified Christ is supported by the First Person of the Trinity, 
 
 ' (t/^ ^,^ who is surrounded by angels. On one side is St. John the Baptist, and 
 
 on the other Mary Magdalen. At the bottom of the picture are two 
 
 small figures of Tobias and the Angel. It has a landscape background. 
 
 The initials S.B. are inscribed on the cross. 
 
 Purchased from the Monte di Piela at Rome, where it had probably 
 been deposited as a security f.r money to be used in the repair of a 
 church lor which it had been painted as an altar piece. After its pur- 
 chase the Roman Government refused to aUow it to leave the Papal 
 territories, and it was only after a long correspondence with the Roiuau 
 authorities that Mr. Severn. H.M. Consul, obtained the necessary per- 
 mission for its exportation to England, April 1867. ^^J^
