Scope and Content

Venice. Relating to the arrangement, cleaning and glazing of the Girolamo Romanino [The Nativity, NG297], "I insist on the Romanino having a little more tone".

He also includes comments about the hanging of Claudes and Turners and suggests that they be moved to South Kensington. Also comments on a Ghirlandaio and a Marco Zoppo found in the Manfrin Gallery.
