returned to Madrid in 1822. Many copies: one by Giulio Romano in Palazzo Pitti, Florence, has a lizard in foreground, whence called Madonna della Lucertola; another, attributed to same, at Hampton Court, without lizard, called M. della Quercia (of the Oak), a name applied sometimes also to the Madrid example. Engraved by G. Bonasone, Diana Mantovana, Ag. Carracci (etching), Carattoli, and others.—Gruyer, Vierges de Raphael, iii. 382; Passavant, ii. 249; Madrazo, 194.

HOLY FAMILY OF LORETO, Raphael,
original lost; figure to knees, life-size.
Virgin, standing behind couch of Jesus,
lifts the veil which covers him; St. Joseph,
leaning on a staff, behind in contemplation.
Painted in Rome about 1512-13 by order
of Cardinal Riario for S. M. del Popolo;
supposed to have been given in 1717 to the
shrine of Loreto, whence its present name.
It disappeared at the close of the last century,
and is only known now through its
many copies. Discovery of original often
announced, but without good evidence.
Poor copy in Louvre; better example lately
placed in South Kensington Museum by
Dr. Axell Lamm, of Stockholm. This is
probably the copy mentioned by Passavant
as "peu remarquable," in the possession of
the sculptor Bystroem at Stockholm. Engraved
by Michele Lucchese (1553); Paulus
Caronni.—Vasari, ed. Mil., iv. 339; Passavant,
ii. 100; Müntz, 375; Gruyer, Vierges
de Raphael, iii. 310; Springer (Dohme 2ii.),

au Palmier), Raphael, Bridgewater House,
London; wood, transferred to canvas; round,
3 ft. 4 in. diameter. The Virgin, seated
under a palm, holds Jesus astride of her
knee by means of her veil, one end of which

stretches out both hands to receive them.
Probably the second of two painted in Florence
in 1506 for Taddeo Taddei. Belonged
before 1680 to Countess de Chiverni in
Paris, then to Marquise d'Aumont, who sold
it for 5,000 livres to M. de la Noue; from
his collection passed to President Tambonneau,
and thence to the Orleans collection,
at the sale of which (1798) bought by Earl
of Bridgewater for £1,200. Two vertical
splits in the panel have necessitated repainting.
