Note 11 — PAINTINGS BY MANTEGNA IN PRIVATE COLLECTIONS IN ENGLAND EXHIBITED AT VARIOUS TIMES.[11]

In the lists of Mantegna’s and Francia’s works exhibited at the British Institution, Manchester, Leeds, and the “Old Masters” at Burlington House, the official catalogues have been strictly adhered to; it must not be supposed that every picture classed as the work of Mantegna or of Francia is recognised as genuine by the critics; for example, the Royal Academy merely catalogues the works “under the names given to them by the contributors,” and “can accept no responsibility as to their authenticity.”
