From A Bibliography of Alexandre Dumas père by Frank Wild Reed: This work, as already mentioned, originally formed part of the "Histoire des Peintres." The "Three Masters" removed from the company of their fellows to make a distinct work are "Michel-Ange," "Titien" and "Raphael."
(Refer to the "Galerie de Florence," page 192.)
"Titien Vecelli" was published in "La Chronique" between December 1st, 1843, and January 15th. 1844.
"Michel-Ange" was printed in the "Revue des Feuilletons" for June, 1844, there stated to be from the "Galerie des Offices de Florence."
''Vie des Peintres Italiens: Michel-Ange, suivi de Titien Vecelli;" Brussels, Méline Cans et Cie., 18mo., pp. 278, 1844.
"Michel-Ange et Raphael Sanzio;" Paris. Recules, 2 vols., 8vo., 1846.
This "Trois Maîtres" forms one volume in the standard Calmann-Lévy édition.
In Le Vasseur's "Alexandre Dumas Illustré" it forms part of Vol. XXIV.
