The extacy of fervour in the Saint, the figures exquisitely well executed of the two angels, which animate and contrast the dreariness of the scene in the cavern, corroborate much the idea, that this capital artist, as well as others of his own countrymen greatly added to the effect of their art, by calling in to its aid the sister-art of poetry, with all its imagery, and powers of creation.

It was the property of this Bishop of Lizieux, and last of the Abbot of Peroux. On occasion of this picture, it may not be impertinent to offer one consideration of the difference of the costume at different periods of time, in the representation of the same subject. The two last pictures (No. 4 and 5) were painted by men of the highest reputation in their respective days, at little more than a century's distance. Raphael has, with superior propriety, preserved to the Virgin, especially the local and natural simplicity of dress and situation in life. Vandyke has bestowed more of elegance, more of modern refinement. Both are master-pieces. Vandyke, born at Antwerp in 1599, died at London, aged 42. Price 500l. (Vandyke)|The Virgin and Child.

Here, of Reubens (born at Cologne 1577, and died at Antwerp, aged 63) relatively to this picture, it is observable that it was the last cabinet picture that he finished in 1620, having afterwards been constantly employed in large works.
