Room XIII. Quattrocento Italian School. The early Flor¬
entine School is here represented by Era Angelico, who may be
numbered among the followers of Giotto, and by the poetic crea¬

others. The Umbrian School (Piero della Francesca, Gozzoli) is not
so well illustrated ; while on the other hand the collection contains
many good and rare specimens of the early masters of Ferrara.
None of these, however, are so important as Mantegna of Padua,
and Giovanni Bellini of Venice, along with whom may be named
their eminent contemporaries, Carlo Crivelli and Bissolo.
