...Turin, Bologna and Naples. There was no broad direction of style. The artists worked more and more outside Italy, pursuing foreign commissions and coming back with the seeds of foreign taste sticking to them like burrs. As a result, the range of the period was astonishing; it ran from Magnasco's turbid compositions of raggedy monks to the grandeur and sun-washed transparency of Tiepolo's Armida Abandoned by Rinaldo, from Pier-Leone Ghezzi's wry grotesqueries and exact social observation to the flaccid but competent imitations of French classical landscape turned out by such artists...

In Venice and Genoa, however, the Gothic spirit hung on a little longer in the magical paintings of Crivelli, Lotto, Magnasco and Strozzi. Lotto's Pieta is one of Cleveland's most striking pictures: a huge, bullnecked Christ crucified whose dead skin lies in ghastly contrast against the living flesh of His friends. Crivelli adds to his Madonna and Child a huge housefly, an exactly rendered cucumber, a halo...
