LAST TOKEN onno, in Royal Academy, London ; others in the Louvre, in the Brera at Milan (formerly in Convent at Castellazzo di Vigentino), and at Ponte Capriasco, Switzerland. Picture best known by Raphael Morghen's engrav- ing (1800), but it was not made from the original, as generally supposed. Morghen engraved it in Florence from a drawing made by Teodoro Matteini, who was sent to Milan for the purpose, but who undoubt- edly took many, details from Marco d'Oggi- onno's copy, in which the heads are not closely copied from the original.
