To him is certainly due the general composition, with its superb lines, its beautiful curves, its majestic and dignified postures, its charming sunset background, to him is certainly due the splendid chiaroscuro and magic colour-chord; but it becomes a question whether some of the detail was not actually finished by Giorgione's pupil, Sebastiano del Piombo.
"Ginevra Piombo does not pass her word and break it," she replied. "I am your daughter." "She is right," said the baroness. "We are sent into the world to marry." "Do you encourage her in disobedience?" said the baron to his wife, who, terrified by the word, now changed to marble. "Refusing to obey an unjust order is not disobedience," said Ginevra.
The claims of Palma himself, Pellegrino da San Daniele, Cariani and Sebastiano del Piombo, have all found protagonists among modern critics.

Angerstein's art treasures were to be seen until his death in his house in Pall Mall, where the Reform Club now stands. The Frenchmen, of whom Coleridge's friend.

Luigi loves me; he will be my husband." "Never," said Piombo. "I would rather see you in your coffin, Ginevra."
