TT HE great and chief ornaments among the Collection of Pictures and Marbles enumerated in this Catalogue, were purchased at and near Rome, at a considerable charge, to the amount of very many thousand pounds, by a most respected English Gentleman, intimately conversant with the Arts : who from a long residence in Italy, and from the advantage of having had access to the persons and palaces of the different Princes and Noblemen who were the proprietors, selected with great zeal and caution, the finest specimens that could be procured by him of the works of the most approved masters. The events which had taken place on the Continent, during the late and continued disturbances, in the heavy exactions made by an invading army, facilitated his means. While the French Nation— the Great Nation as it has been pleased to call itself — laid down deliberately at Paris, with a minute and circumspect attention, plans for plunder; devoting and subjecting to its rapacious authority, those sacred depositaries of the arts, the public palaces and churches of the distant countries which it over-ran : in- ( iv ) dividuals became necessarily and unfortunately involved in the same fate : compelled to part with the inestimable treasures that had long remained an ornament in their own possession, and in the possession of their fore-fathers ; no less gratifying indeed to themrseh-es and their countrymen^, than the admiration of delighted foreigners : and they were compelled to part with them to pay the respective proportions to the imperious exigencies of the subjugated, govern- ments they lived under, or to supply their own immediate necessities. Hence has originated the cause through which many of the sublimest specimens have been brought into this country. For though the road to Paris, from Rome and Naples, w'as lined with French troops to be the escort of their own plunder : the Seas were open to British protection ; and freighted with the noblest works, England saw, wafted in her own ships in safety to her own shores, the True Triumph of the Arts, not the spoils of nations, and the pomp of wars,” but the honorable proof of British taste, the reward and purchase of British liberality. By the effect of that liberality, the Colonna Gallery, the Spada, Falconnieri, Albani, Aldobrandini and Ghigi Palaces, have unlocked their stores, in the several captivating instances now brought before the Public. The renowned Apotheosis of Homer; the celebrated Claude’s; { V ) the famous Paul Veronese; the Guido’s; the Titian; the Annibal Caracci’s; with many other valuable performances, were made his own by lawful jx)ssession ; and as unquestionably they wiH become a pride to the future possessors, and remain equally a strong proof of THEIR refined taste, sc^rt remains only to be hoped, that the spirit, elegant mind, and patriotism of the proprietor, in being the means of thus beautifully enriching his native Land, at the expence of a large capital, will meet with a remuneration, equal to the deserts “ due to his Judgement and Enterprize. These Pictures and Marbles are accompanied by some matchless specimens of the Flemish and Dutch Schools. Pall Mall, May 29, 180L A CATALOGUE.^ %‘C* SATURDAY, JUNE the 2d, 1804.
