Luini "Adoration of the
Magi" (1520-25) Louvre, Paris
"I should have wished them to
understand what an inestimable present I
had just received and, to show their
gratitude . . . without
seeming any more conscious of its value
than the charming Mage with the arched nose
and fair hair in Luini's fresco, to
whom, it was said, Swann had at one time
thought to bear a striking
resemblance." — Within a Budding
Grove
