of S. Marco, Florence; fresco on wall.
By Francesco Bassano, Madrid Museum; canvas, H. 5 ft. × 7 ft. Table set at an angle in a hall of Roman architecture; St. Peter, at right of Jesus, holds a knife; in front, Judas, with his back to the spectator; in the angle of the table a dog and a cat quarrelling over a bone.—Madrazo.

By Dierick Bouts, St. Peter, Louvain. This picture, an altarpiece, with wings, bears the signature of Memling, but the best critics regard it as the work of Bouts. The figures are distributed with great artistic judgment around a quadrangular table, and exhibit an admirable variety in action, character, and expression. Completed in 1467.—Kugler (Crowe), i. 108; Larousse, iii. 704; Van Even, Nederlandsche Konstenaers (Amsterdam, 1858).
