Excerpt from A History of Painting in North Italy, Vol. 1 of 3: Venice, Padua, Vicenza, Verona Ferrara, Milan, Friuli, Brescia Form the Fourtefnth to the Sixteenth Century My debt of gratitude to those from whom, in the course of my work, I have received kindness and assistance is not easily measured. I wish in this place especially to express my sincere thanks to Mr. Roger E. Fry for constant aid and advice, to Mr. Herbert Cook for much information about pictures in English private collections and about the Lombard School of Painting, to Mr. Robert C. Witt for allowing me to use his rich collection of reproductions, and to Dr. Giuseppe Gerola for many valuable communications.
