This "Judith," after passing for many years under the names of Raphael and Moretto, is now officially recognised as Giorgione's work, an identification first made by the late Herr Penther, the keeper of the Vienna Academy, whom Morelli quotes.
He has also painted, besides many other façades, that of his own house, with most beautiful inventions, and likewise the interior; in which house, situated between S. Benedetto and the Vescovado, I saw, when I was last in Brescia, two very beautiful portraits by his hand, that of Alessandro Moretto, his father-in-law, which is a very lovely head of an old man, and that of the same Alessandro's daughter, his wife.
Sad, too, to think that the Senators who once thronged here those grave, astute gentlemen in furred cloaks whom Tintoretto and Titian and Moroni and Moretto painted for us assemble here no more.

Like the great Frenchman, Miss Montalba strives to interpret the sadder moods of nature, when the wind moves the water a little mournfully and the outlines of the objects become uncertain in the filmy air." <b>MORETTO, EMMA.</b> Venetian painter, exhibited at Naples, in 1877, "Abbey of St.
Brescia and Bergamo remained within the influence of Venice, producing work of nearly first-rate quality in Moretto, Romanino, and Lorenzo Lotto.
