Abstract (en)

Publishes a page from a sketchbook by Charles Gleyre (1845, private collection) with copies after four Venetian paintings, including Giorgione's Tempest (ca.1506-1508). The painting, which is now in the Accademia, Venice, was then in the Manfrin collection. The sketch means the history of the Tempest can now be traced back at least a decade before its mention by Jacob Burckhardt in 1855. Also asks whether Byron had the Tempest in mind when he composed his poem Beppo (having remembered it from an 1817 visit to the Manfrin galleries), rather than the Triple Portrait which is now at Alnwick Castle and attributed to a student of Titian ca.1520.
