Our Cover THE PAINTING By permission of the Metropolitan Mu -eum of Art, New York City, we ha ve reproduced on the cover of our magazine this month a detail from a Cassone Panel by a follower of Pesellino. The panel from which the detail on the cover was taken, is shown above. This panel depicts the story of the Argonauts after they arrived in Colchis. You will note, it is painted in the continuous style, with many scenes taking place in the same picture. At the lower left, Jason, at the head of his band of heroe and demigods, , presents himself to King Aeetes, from whom he hopes to obtain the Golden Fleece. The extreme right shows a part of the palace and Jason kneeling to the king; at the foot of the stair he is mounting his horse, and farther to the left eros i ng the draw­bridge. In the middle, we see the Gro e of Are with to\-vered wall, the Golden Fleece hangjng from its central tree. Beneath it, Jason is busy kiUing the knights spruno- from. drag n's teeth. At the left are Diana and her hounds, a piece of Medea's sorcer. and the Argonauts on the shore.
