 1 TT HE Presentation of the family of Darius to Alexander, 
 
 an elegant and highly finished picture 
 
 2 The Prodigal Son tending a herd of Goats and Swine ; the 
 
 figure is illumined by a strong effect of light, and is 
 painted with breadth and spirit 
 
 This picture is supposed by some to be painted by 
 Sal. Rosa 
 
 3 St, Achilles, a very richly coloured and highly finished 
 
 picture, in the early manner of Garofalo 
 
 4 The Infant Jesus asleep, St. John near him holding the 
 
 Cross.

 This picture is covered with a patina and much dirt, 
 but is in pure and fine condition 
 
 5 A Holy Family, in the the style of his friend and contempo- 
 
 rary RafFaelle 
 
 The Virgin is supporting the Child by a Scarf passed 
 round his body; the latter is seated on a sculptured 
 marble, in the centre of which is a Scutcheon, as if 
 designed to receive a Coat of Arms ; behind the group 
 is an Edifice with Figures ascending a Flight of Steps ; 
 a Landscape and Buildings in the back-ground 
 
 6 The Creation, a small and highly finished cabinet specimen 
 
 7 A Holy Family and three Angels kneeling in Prayer over 
 
 the Infant ; Shepherds and Figures, engaged in the Chase, 
 are seen in a distant landscape. The Village of Beth- 
 lehem, crowns a precipice on the right above the 
 Cattle shed ; an Angel is flying down in the centre of 
 the picture announcing the Nativity 
 
 This grand specimen is much in the manner of the 
 Fra. Bartolomeo. 
 
 8 The Marriage of St. Catharine, an extraordinary picture of 
 the master, very sweetly designed and coloured in 
 a silvery tone

 ANDREA DEL SARTO 10 
 
 Apollo and Daphne, in a beautiful landscape, the subject is 
 represented on the brink of the river Peneus, beyond 
 which the River God, reclining, is ready to receive his 
 Daughter ; Cupid with a Torch is urging Apollo foii- 
 ward ; clear and beautifully finished 
 St. John writing the Revelations, in the Island of Patmos ; 
 
The Evangelist is standing in a bold landscape, with a . 
 Pen in one hand, and Book in the other, which rests 
 upon one thigh ; the foot elevated for the purpose on a 
 stone 
 
 The air' of the head is highly dignified yet sweet, the 
 colouring rich and vivid, the finishing exquisite a noble 
 chef-dceuvre 
 
 A HOLY FAMILY, — the Virgin, in a graceful attitude, has 
 lifted up a light linen drapery, and is exposing to view the 
 Infant Christ sleeping on a bed ; St. John, with arms 
 folded and embracing the cross, is bending over the 
 Child; St. Joseph appears behind. This fine picture 
 displays the graceful outline, and the delicate and sweet 
 finishing of Raffaelle; the beauty of the countenances, 
 and of the body and limbs of the Infant, are powerfully 
 relieved by rich and glowing draperies 
 
 This charming chef-doeuvre is from the Monte Casino, 
 near Ponte Corvo 
 
 THE ENAMOURED PHYSICIAN. A Female under the 
 rich crimson drapery of a Couch, her MorningDress but 
 loosely thrown about her, is listening to her Physician, 
 who, while he feels her pulse, has his eye intent upon her 
 beauty, and, with one hand applied to his breast, appears 
 rather to be disclosing his own case, than prescribing for 
 that of his fair Patient 
 
 The subject is gracefully and pleasingly told, and 
 is enriched with the fine colouring of this great Vene- 
 tian master

 — a grand and masterly specimen *
