Excerpt from The Florentine Painters of the Renaissance: With an Index to Their Works
The lists have been thoroughly revised, and some of them considerably increased. Botti cini, Pier Francesco Fiorentino, and Amico di Sandro have been added, partly for the intrin sic value of their work, and partly because so many of their pictures are exposed to public admiration under greater names. Botticini sounds too much l¿-cc Botticelli not to have been confounded with him, and Pier Francesco has similarly been confused with Piero della Francesca. Thus, Botticini's famous Assump tion, painted for Matteo Palmieri, and now in the National Gallery, already passed in Vasari's time for a Botticelli, and the attribution at Karlsruhe of the quaint and winning Nativity to the sublime, unyielding Piero della Francesca is surely nothing more than the echo of the real author's name.
