Note 73 — GIORGIONE

Reading edition

Not only did Morelli weaken his writings by exaggeration—which, however, was quite natural—but in the less excusable way of giving illustrations that are misleading. The woodcuts which serve to show the Grundform of hands and ears are only partially exact, and in one case, the Bonifazio ear, a positive caricature. The process cuts of the paintings are too miserable to consider. This is unfortunately as true of the translations as of the original editions.
