TÁTRAI, VILMOS: Une peinture peu connue de Garofalo

sensible, reste toujours valable, selon laquelle Garofalo est "paganeggiante di provincia, accademico per la pelle, borghese; proprio il tipo del terrazzano schifiltoso che scende dal capitale due volte l'anno, per mutar d'abito e di frasario . . . I ritmi di Raffaello prendono in lui qualche cosa di piccolo, di bella scrittura e ne vengon f uori tipi quasi alla Overbeck, alla Schnorr von Carolsf eld ; da prof essore romantico insomma."

28 Et il est toujours valable la description exacte et concise de Freedberg aussi, et on pourrait difficilement trouver une meilleure illustration que l'Adultéra de Budapest pour tout ce qu'il dit des tableaux de petit format: „His had been a long career, in which he had been much more imitative than inventive: timid in his classical aspects and more meticulous than precious in those that suggest affinity with Maniera. Nevertheless, his ambitious works maintained, almost continuously, a standard of distinguished competence, while in smaller pictures, where the measure of his talents and the scale of his effort could more nearly coincide, he often achieved results of exceptional attractiveness. In those smaller works his meticulousness of mind and hand were not a limitation but an asset, with which he worked on occasion to make a jewel-like effect."
