NotesSource Note: The pictorial source is a painting by Carlo Dolci. An engraving of this painting by F. Kearny is in "The Cottage Bible and Family Expositor" (Hartford: Printed & Published by Case, Tiffany & Burnham, 1844) has the same title "Christ Blessing the Bread." However, there are minor differences in the treatment of the tablecloth and drapery, and it seems unlikely that this engraving was the intermediary. (Finlay 2/18/2004)
