Doctors, theDeath bed of a Plague Patient, a dissection scene with ten woodcuts, which are the grandest works of the kind producedin Venice except the HYPNEROTOMACHIA are said by somebibliographers to have been designed by ANDREA Lippmann however savs, The design is undoubtedly by anartist nearly related to GENTILE BELLINI. The figures arefrom tw^elve to fifteen centimetres in height, and—especiallythe heads drawn with much skill. There is a statu-esque ease in the arrangement of the compositions, whichgives them an appearance of relief, and harmonises admirablywith the simple and firm outline-drawing. The scenes whichexhibit the dying plague-patient, and the consultation ofdoctors, have a touch of that solemn gravity which Venetianart knew so well how to infuse into the pictorial representation of important incidents.
