Family of Giorgione, Giorgione, Palazzo Giovanelli, Florence.
GIORGIONE, FAMILY OF, Giorgione, Palazzo Giovanelli, Florence; canvas, H. 2 ft. 9 in. × 2 ft. 5 in. A man in tights and slashed doublet, said to be Giorgione, standing leaning on a staff to the left; a mother seated on the bank, giving the breast to her child, to the right; background, a beautiful landscape. Formerly in Palazzo Manfrini, Venice.—C. & C., N. Italy, ii. 136; Zeitschr. f. b. K. (1866), No. 11.
GIORNO, IL (The Day),
or Madonna of St. Jerome,
Correggio, Parma Gallery;
wood, H. 6 ft. 6 in. × 4 ft.
8 in. The Virgin, with Jesus
on her arm, sitting;
Jesus is playing with the
hair of the Magdalen, who
is half kneeling beside him;
behind her is a boy with a
vase of ointment; on the
other side, St. Jerome, with
the lion behind him, is
standing, carrying a book
which an angel aids him
in supporting. Called Il
Giorno because represented
in full daylight, and to
distinguish it from La
Notte. Ordered in 1523 by
Donna Briseide Colla Bergonzi,
of Parma, and placed
in 1528 in S. Antonio Abbate.
Carried to Paris, but returned in
1816, though the French government is said
to have offered 1,000,000 francs for it. Many
copies: one in Bridgewater House, supposed
by Lodovico Carracci; another in Palazzo
Pitti, Florence, by Barocci. Engraved by Aug.

GIOTTINO, born (?), died after 1369.
Florentine school. Probably identical with
Giotto di Maestro Stefano, whose name appears
in the register of Florentine painters
in 1368. Vasari calls him Tommaso di Stefano,
and says he was born in 1324, thus
confounding him with Maso di Banco (died
after 1351), whom Ghiberti makes the pupil
of Giotto, and who was admitted to the guild
of Speziali in 1343, and to the Company
of St. Luke in 1350. To Maso, Ghiberti ascribes
the series of frescos in the chapel of
S. Silvestro in S. Croce, Florence, representing
the legend of Constantine, while Vasari,
who made one painter out of two, gives them
to Giottino. The fresco of the Last Judgment
in the Bardi Chapel, S. Croce, belonging
to the monument of Ubertino de' Bardi,
is probably by the artist who painted two
frescos, the Birth and Crucifixion of Christ,
