Vente de l'œuvre décrite comme [[Satyrs and Tigers: this singular performance of this accomplished Master, was evidently painted after he contemplated the Works of Rubens, which enriched his fancy and pallette, with an harmonious tone of coloring and grandeur of composition. The Satyrs are forcibly expressed with characteristic propriety, while the maternal affection of the female Tyger, mingled with ferociousness, nourishing and protecting her young ones, at the same instant, is highly descriptive of the true nature of this wild and terrific Animal.

  • 1807.04.24/ maison de ventes : Coxe (Peter). Vente de l'œuvre décrite comme [[The finished design by this immortal Painter of the Coronation of the Emperor Charlemagne, by Pope Leo: the IIId. in one of the Chambers of the Vatican. The great Picture in the Vatican has two variations from this sketch, as will appear from the Print of it, that is extant; namely, the door is closed in the great Picture, whereas in this Sketch it is open, and shews a Building; and likewise there is some slight difference in the Architecture; an incontestable proof, (although the internal evidence is sufficient to stamp it so,) of this Sketch being from the undoubted hand of Raphael. This incomparable Picture contains such an extraordinary variety of Character and Expression; is so rich in its Composition, without being crowded; so grand in the detail, and so beautifully colored; that Sir William Hamilton, who received it from a most celebrated Collection in Spain, together with the Parmegiano, Lot 66 of the Third Day's Sale, assured the present Proprietor, that they had always been considered the two most valuable Pictures he possessed; and were deserving of most distinguished places in the first Cabinet (Raphael)|The finished design by this immortal Painter of the Coronation of the Emperor Charlemagne, by Pope Leo: the IIId. in one of the Chambers of the Vatican.
