If the beautiful Ghirlandaios and Lippis are fading, this generation will never know it. The large Fra Angelico in the Academy is as clear and keen as if the good old monk stood there wiping his brushes; the colours seem to <i>sing</i>, as it were, like new-fledged birds in June.
And yet this was so far from the opinion of a patient artist whom I saw the other day copying the finest of Ghirlandaios a beautiful Adoration of the Kings at the Hospital of the Innocenti. Here was another sample of the buried art-wealth of Florence.
Of the Lippo Lippis, the Lorenzo di Credis, the Ghirlandaios, the Peruginos, and the other great masters of the fifteenth century, of whom are many masterpieces in this collection, there shall, for the present, not a word be said. There is also a portrait of Savonarola, by Fra Bartolommeo. The face is neither impressive nor attractive.
