Excerpt from Materials for a History of Oil Painting, Vol. 2

Veneziano survived him four years. The state ment also of the rivalry of these two painters - as far, at least, as their supposed simultaneous opera tions in the Portinari chapel gave it the colour of truth - is equally overturned by Signor Cavalca selle, who quotes from the records of the hospital attached to S. Maria N uova, that Domenico ter minated his six years' labours in the chapel in 1445, and that Andrea only commenced his in 1 45 1. For all trustworthy information regarding these two painters the reader is referred to Signor Cavalcaselle's work, vol. Ii. Pp. 302 - 318.
