Text Appearing Before Image:
Caracci, is one of themost exquisite of the compositions of this master.The figure of the Saviour, seated upon the clouds,extending both his arms to the world below, is in-effably graceful. The face is that of a youth; he ishardly more than eighteen, although the hands arepierced, showing that it is intended to represent theChrist after his crucifixion. But whatever thereason for representing Christ as so young a boy, theresult is one of the most beautiful in art. Oneither side of the central figure little angels sym-bolizing Night and Day are crouching; one deeplyshaded by a drapery around his head, the other inthe full light. On either side, beyond, are the Evan-gelists : St. Peter at the left, with his keys andbooks, and St. John with his eagle and book on theright. All this part of the composition is refined andrestful.

The first, in the centre, at theleft is St. Ermengild, martyr, bearing a palm; be-hind, at the extreme left, the Magdalen. At theright, St. Edward of England is kneeling with onehand on his heart while the other is placed on theshoulder of the Cardinal Farnese. St. Edward ofEngland may be either St. Edward the Martyr, whowas stabbed in a wood by the wicked treachery ofhis stepmother, or St. Edward the Confessor, who isa later and more familiar saint. In the case of theformer, his proper emblem is a palm; in the case ofthe Confessor, a dove and a ring. As none of theseattributes are present, there is no way of determiningwhich English saint was intended. In the back-ground is seen the creeping figure of a cripple, sup-ported on his hands by blocks which enable him tomove independently of his misshapen legs. Thesignificance of this
