I can't find Wölfflin's 'unruly Three Graces' by Tintoretto.
This painting, in which the Graces are neither unruly nor at the edge of the picture, is part of a decorative scheme that includes Peace sending away Mars and Ariadne, Venus and Bacchus.
There are Three Graces in the corner of Correggio's Parma fresco (1519), which Wölfflin definitely considered transitional.
Help please.
