The Droll Song— a humorous composition. A small portrait of a Lady of Rank — an elegant cha- racter, and much like Raffaelle. A beautiful and sparkling little picture of this Master, Sampson and Dalilah — this composition is here treated by Jordeans with all his wonted splendour of colour- ing- The Wine Seller — this picture was in the collection of the Marquis of Ensanada of Madrid, and was brought to England, about two years ago ; in it will be found much of that bravura of handling, for which Velasquez has been so justly esteemed. A bright and sparkling landscape of this Master, in which he has introduced a number of small Figures — this picture may be considered as a very great rarity. Venus asleep, and a Satyr — a composition of much merit, and resembling the pictures of Nicholas Poussin. - ^ Virgin and Child, formerly in the Borghese Villa of Rome, in a very fine tone of colouring. ySS^-. x3 • -J The Sacrifice of Cain and Abel — a small and genuine picture of this great Master, from the Buono Corso Perini Palace of Florence, brought to England in 1804. - A beautiful Landscape and Cattle — much like, and nearly equal to Adrian Vanderveldt. f A Sunny Landscape, with Figures passing along a Road — painted at a fine time of the master. 2fyy 2 -- 'S - 2. / Both ^ §6 A Rocky Landscape and Wa(ci-F all — companion to the above. Murillio.., 27 Christ bearing his Cross — finely composed picture by this esteemed mester, llte cliaracters in it con- trasted with much force of colour, and propriety of expression. Caraa'aggio 28 The Incredulity of St Thomas— the countenance of the Apostle is full of astonishment, and a mixed ex- pression of fear and disbelief at the reappearance of Our Saviour, while thatofihe principal Charac- ter, assures him of the truth of real existence, and is all benignity. The various cliaracterr in the piece are admirably contrasted, and on the whole, for character, as well as fine colouring, it may be deemed the finest picture of Caravaggio now in England. A large price was given for this, and the preceding picture, by the present Proprietor Annibal Caracci 29 Old Silenus carried by Two Fauns — this picture formed the top of a Harpsichord, which was in the Lancellotti Palace of Rome ; in the front of the Instrument Avas placed a smaller picture, painted in the same manner, by Annibal, representing Sile- nus teaching the Young Apollo to play upon the Reeds, whicli-Avas purchased by Mr. Angerstein at the Sale of Mr. Walsh Porter’s Pictures, for Three Hundred Guineas; the present is in all re- spects equal in execution to the other. Giacomo Palma. 30 Dead Christ and the Maries — this fine Picture, so like Titian in point of colouring, and Ludovico Caracci in its draAving and design, Avas brought into this Country in 1809, from Madrid, where it'was pur- chased out of the Collection of the Marquis of En- senada. — — ^ ^ G. Poussin 31 A Land Storm. This Painter of Epic Landscape, has seldom produced a more Grand or inierestin:? W ork ; It was formerly in the Falconieri Palace, where Wilson is known to have studied it, and he has often borrowed from it several valuable passages. The movement of the Tree labouring in the Storm, the depth of Tone in the foreground, and the cor- respondent Sky, in which the Prophet appears in the moment of being Translated, are forcibly strik- ing and awful. This effect is agreeably relieved by a beautiful Sunshine in the middle ground and dis- tance. In point of real grandeur, this picture will rank with the finest Works of the Great Masters of Painting. 3 Giabonetto Nobile 32* Two Friezes, with Ancient Architecture and Ship- ,^^7. j ping.
