  • 1807.05.07/ maison de ventes : Coxe (Peter). Vente de l'œuvre décrite comme [[Portrait of Bush, the Brick-Moulder...Portrait of a superintendant of a brick-kiln, who, although he could neither read nor write, calculated and kept an accurate account of the business in which he was engaged. The resemblance is most faithful, and the painting is particularly remarkable for the singular expedition with which it was done, the artist having been only twenty minutes in its execution, and is done in a masterly manner. -- On canvas (George Morland)|Portrait of Bush, the Brick-Moulder...Portrait of a superintendant of a brick-kiln, who, although he could neither read nor write, calculated and kept an accurate account of the business in which he was engaged.

  • 1807.05.07/ maison de ventes : Coxe (Peter). Vente de l'œuvre décrite comme [[A Landscape...Scene near Groomby-Pool, Markfield, Leicestershire. The effect of light is remarkable. The horse was the artist's, left at the inn whilst he proceeded on his journey to obtain a view a few miles distant; it is highly finished. -- On canvas (George Morland)|A Landscape...Scene near Groomby-Pool, Markfield, Leicestershire.

  • 1807.05.07/ maison de ventes : Coxe (Peter). Vente de l'œuvre décrite comme [[Ale-House Door...Two peasants are regaling at the door of a cottage, and seem in earnest conversation. The figures are drawn with a force highly characteristic, and exhibit objects to be every day met with in the country. The rude workmanship of the table on which they are resting is truly natural. The fine, mellow, rich, and masterly management of colouring, in this picture, ranks it among the choicest of his productions. -- On canvas (George Morland)|Ale-House Door...Two peasants are regaling at the door of a cottage, and seem in earnest conversation.

  • 1807.05.07/ maison de ventes : Coxe (Peter). Vente de l'œuvre décrite comme [[Seduction...The conception and execution of this picture are both admirable. The skilful and varied forms of the trees, the colouring of the sky, which is distinctly seen through the mass of foliage, and the general glow that pervades the whole, are natural effects. In the characters the artist has displayed a greater power, -- the expression of the human passions; which is so strongly marked, that the countenances of the several figures furnish us with the narrative. In the seducer the outline and attitude convince us he is above the common class: his duplicity and persuasive adulation, "the infectious sigh and pleading look," seem to be gradually subduing the simplicity, the fears, and the reluctance, of the female. The attentive and suspicious vigilance of age, ever mistrustful and anxious on account of the dangers and inexperience of youth, is finely depicted in the character of the old woman listening from the cottage-door. -- On canvas (George Morland)|Seduction...The conception and execution of this picture are both admirable.

  • 1807.05.07/ maison de ventes : Coxe (Peter). Vente de l'œuvre décrite comme [[The Bargain...The subject is after the style of the Flemish school. The characters, a farmer and butcher, are completely English, marked with that independent and stern appearance peculiar to both. The harmony of colouring and contrasted light contribute to the great excellence of this composition. -- On canvas (George Morland)|The Bargain...The subject is after the style of the Flemish school.

The assemblage of circumstances that surround a winter-scene are properly introduced: "The weary clouds, Slow meeting, mingle into solid gloom." The light is distributed with great judgement. -- On canvas (George Morland)|The Sportsman Refreshing. -- Snow-Piece...The boldness of this production is its chief merit.

  • 1807.05.07/ maison de ventes : Coxe (Peter). Vente de l'œuvre décrite comme [[A Landscape with Figures. Rich Industry sits smiling o'er the plains. Pope's Pastorals. In the production of pastoral scenes, of which this cabinet-painting is an elegant specimen, it is essentially requisite to avoid the affectation of too much study, left the ease and simplicity of the design, whence our pleasure arises, should be destroyed. The variety of rural beauties in this little composition are distributed with great taste and ease: one object succeeds another, and, like the romantic scenes of Salvator Rosa, crowds the canvas with incident and variety. -- On canvas (George Morland)|A Landscape with Figures.

  • 1807.05.07/ maison de ventes : Coxe (Peter). Vente de l'œuvre décrite comme [[Catching Muscles...This is highly finished, and must be considered as one of his best cabinet-pictures. In the centre, a fishing-boat hauled on shore; in the front, three figures collecting muscles. The distance is most beautifully terminated by a range of lofty cliffs, which seem gradually to recede from the eye until they are lost in the thickness of the atmosphere; the complexion of the sea, and the brilliancy and clearness of the colouring are equally deserving of admiration. -- On pannel (George Morland)|Catching Muscles...This is highly finished, and must be considered as one of his best cabinet-pictures.

  • 1807.05.07/ maison de ventes : Coxe (Peter). Vente de l'œuvre décrite comme [[Fresh-water Cave. -- Moonlight...The subject discovers a body of smugglers unloading their goods. The general harmony of colour, so exceedingly difficult to preserve in scenes of this description, is very happily effected: the clear and silvery appearance of the water, the rippling of the waves against the boat, and the ease and contour of the figures, are finely executed. -- On canvas (George Morland)|Fresh-water Cave. -- Moonlight...The subject discovers a body of smugglers unloading their goods.

  • 1807.05.07/ maison de ventes : Coxe (Peter). Vente de l'œuvre décrite comme [[Smugglers...The figures represented are of that hardy rough-hewn race that inhabit the coast, defying the utmost vigilance of government; and, laboring to secure their contraband trade, they are here landing their cargo. Grouped with great propriety, every individual is adapted to this action: the figure that appears raising a weight from the the bottom of the boat, with his legs bared, which are distinctly seen through the transparency of the water, is expressed with uncommon boldness. The superior and commanding appearance of the chief, raised on the cliff, is equally deserving attention. -- On canvas (George Morland)|Smugglers...The figures represented are of that hardy rough-hewn race that inhabit the coast, defying the utmost vigilance of government; and, laboring to secure their contraband trade, they are here landing their cargo.

  • 1807.05.07/ maison de ventes : Coxe (Peter). Vente de l'œuvre décrite comme [[The Flash of Lightning...The subject of this piece and its execution do infinite honor to the genius of the master. The confused uproar of the elements, the danger impending over the mariners, who have deserted their ship, and the distressing anxiety of the figures in the fore ground, are objects grand and awful. The chiara oscura is finely managed. The distant cliff, obscurely seen through the hazy atmosphere, is a beauty seldom equalled and never surpassed. The deep colouring is greatly relieved by the light thrown on the fore ground and the summit of the nearest cliff. This picture is an unique of the kind, and conveys much resemblance to the style of Vandevelde. -- On pannel (George Morland)|The Flash of Lightning...The subject of this piece and its execution do infinite honor to the genius of the master.

  • 1807.05.07/ maison de ventes : Coxe (Peter). Vente de l'œuvre décrite comme [[Travellers benighted...This is an unique picture of the artist, and evinces the strong versatile powers of his mind. The effect is chaste and beautiful: the happy disposition of the light, contrasted with the sombre appearance and depth of colour in the back-ground, is very fine; every touch conducing to the general effect. It displays a combination of beauties; which, if comparison could do honor to native merit, may be said to vie with many of the productions, in this style, of the best masters. -- On canvas (George Morland)|Travellers benighted...This is an unique picture of the artist, and evinces the strong versatile powers of his mind.

  • 1807.05.07/ maison de ventes : Coxe (Peter). Vente de l'œuvre décrite comme [[Snow-Piece...In the succeeding Picture the representation of a winter's morning, the observer is principally struck with the gloomy and sombre appearance that covers the whole scene. The snow-piece, though a painting of a similar kind, abounds with beauties of a different description. The scene itself, so chilling in appearance, is fraught with nature, and pencilled with a delicacy that would do honor to the best artists of the Flemish school. The light seems reflected from the snow upon the canvas; the colours are rich and mellow. The group of sheep sheltering themselves under the cottage possess that still character which distinguishes them. The two peasants in the back ground have a very excellent effect in giving distance to the view; and the streak of light, upon the rise of the hill, gives an appearance of transparency to the snow. -- On canvas (George Morland)|Snow-Piece...In the succeeding Picture the representation of a winter's morning, the observer is principally struck with the gloomy and sombre appearance that covers the whole scene.

  • 1807.05.07/ maison de ventes : Coxe (Peter). Vente de l'œuvre décrite comme [[A Winter's Morning...This and the snow-piece are striking proofs of the diversified powers of Morland's genius. His observation and quick conception led him to a contemplation of the different appearances of nature at every period; he saw, and remembered with the mind of a poet. His winter-scenes are marked with same characteristic propriety as his other paintings; the present subject is inimitably chosen and executed. The horse, having over reached the door, occasions the farmer to give a more than common turn of his body to receive his beverage. The management of this attitude is well worthy of observation: the hostess, conveying the bason of warm liquor and treading with infinite care and anxiety, is a very interesting figure. The sportsman gazes on the farmer with the eye of a stranger, as if reading the character in his countenance; and the appearance of the fire through the windows, with the peculiar tint apparently produced in the interior of the cottage by it, is admirable. -- On canvas (George Morland)|A Winter's Morning...This and the snow-piece are striking proofs of the diversified powers of Morland's genius.

  • 1807.05.07/ maison de ventes : Coxe (Peter). Vente de l'œuvre décrite comme [[Moon-Light...This is one of the happiest efforts of his pencil, and cannot fail of exciting the highest admiration. It represents the departure of a fishing-boat by moon-light; the whole scene is most judiciously contrasted by the introduction of appropriate light and shade; it is one of those nights in which the moon is often partially obscured by clouds passing over it, but which, on its emerging, gives a greater degree of brilliancy. -- On canvas (George Morland)|Moon-Light...This is one of the happiest efforts of his pencil, and cannot fail of exciting the highest admiration.

  • 1807.05.07/ maison de ventes : Coxe (Peter). Vente de l'œuvre décrite comme [[The Slaughter-House...The effect of the light in the house, contrasted with the brilliance of the sky, is excellent. The sheep are finely executed, and the narrow slip in which they are pent admirably deepened: the stern commanding aspect of the butcher, the submissive attention of the boy, and the inquisitive appearance of the children, are traits of nature. The style in which they are finished places this small picture on a level with Morland's best productions. -- On canvas (George Morland)|The Slaughter-House...The effect of the light in the house, contrasted with the brilliance of the sky, is excellent.

  • 1807.05.07/ maison de ventes : Coxe (Peter). Vente de l'œuvre décrite comme [[The Corn-Bin...Nothing can be more happily executed than the whole figure and attitude of the white horse: his countenance and eye, and his pawing with his foot, strongly mark his impatience to receive his accustomed allowance of food. The artist has here given anatomy of the whole animal so perfect as to be the subject of an excellent study. Nor must we lose sight of the other, who, though more passive, still betrays a characteristic anxiety. The interior of the bin is wonderfully fine, and the action of the men peculiarly appropriate. In short, it will scarcely be in the power of any man to give a more just and accurate view of the inside of a stable. The white horse was a favorite one belonging to Morland, and was many years the companion of his eccentric journeys. The public have had an opportunity of admiring the beauties of this painting, which have been faithfully copied, in an elegant engraving, by Mr. Smith. -- On canvas (George Morland)|The Corn-Bin...Nothing can be more happily executed than the whole figure and attitude of the white horse: his countenance and eye, and his pawing with his foot, strongly mark his impatience to receive his accustomed allowance of food.

  • 1807.05.07/ maison de ventes : Coxe (Peter). Vente de l'œuvre décrite comme [[The Pigs...One of Morland's excellencies as an artist consisted in his accurate representation of animals, and his reputation as a painter was highly established by productions of this nature. This painting is the most distinguished exhibition of the kind he ever produced; and, had his fame rested alone on this specimen of talent, he would still have been entitled to the celebrity he has acquired. Nothing can surpass the exactness of the two pigs: the eye seems to move, as though animated with life; the attitudes are natural and just; the outlines are boldly marked; and the bodies, from the effect of the shade, well thrown forward on the canvas. The accompaniments are most accurately and highly finished. As a whole it may, in this particular line of painting, be considered as a master-piece. -- On canvas The subject...may be considered as the finest composition in this style that ever appeared (George Morland)|The Pigs...One of Morland's excellencies as an artist consisted in his accurate representation of animals, and his reputation as a painter was highly established by productions of this nature.

A carman waits for his load, while the children, crowding round, express their curiosity. In a subject so familiar the greatest attention has been paid to its execution: the pig drawn to perfection; the surrounding figures are judiciously disposed, and the countenances marked with proper interests: the colouring is extremely rich and brilliant; the composition is worthy of the highest merit. -- On canvas (George Morland)|The dead Porker...The pig, having been scoured, is laid on the bench, and the butcher washing his hands of the blood.

Vente de l'œuvre décrite comme [[Corfe-Castle, in Dorsetshire...In the opinion of connoisseurs, this has been considered as the most finished landscape Morland ever produced. On the right are seen the proud remains of Corfe-Castle, towering on the high eminence which seems once to have commanded the surrounding country. The stupendous height of the mountain is admirably effected by the many broken surfaces on its side; the rocky hill on the left and the transparent water on the right are striking beauties. -- On canvas (George Morland)|Corfe-Castle, in Dorsetshire...In the opinion of connoisseurs, this has been considered as the most finished landscape Morland ever produced.

  • 1807.05.07/ maison de ventes : Coxe (Peter). Vente de l'œuvre décrite comme [[Land-Storm...The artist has given us, what we rarely see represented on canvas, a summer-storm. In conception, composition, and colouring, it may be truly termed a picture of peculiar excellence. The scene is very happily imagined; the action of the horseman, who boldly faces the storm, and the pedestrian, shrinking from it, are the very effect of nature. The horses snuff the wind, the grass and trees are agitated to a degree that they appear in motion. The most spirited and just conception in this picture is in the representation of the sky. The clouds, loaded with water, seem ready to discharge themselves on the neighbouring country. This is one of those striking and natural beauties that give so much truth and dignity to Morland's representations. -- On canvas (George Morland)|Land-Storm...The artist has given us, what we rarely see represented on canvas, a summer-storm.

  • 1807.05.07/ maison de ventes : Coxe (Peter). Vente de l'œuvre décrite comme [[Shipwreck...For pathos and effect this may be considered as the chef-d'oeuvre of our artist. If the distresses of others can, by painting, awaken our sympathy and compassion, there are few spectators whose feelings will not be deeply affected by the deliberate contemplation of this piece. In the back ground, the vessel, forced on shore, is represented dismasted, going to pieces, with a high surf dashing over her. The fore ground is occupied by a most interesting group: a few of the mariners, having deserted their vessel and taken to their boat, are driven on the rocks, the boat is bilged and the waters gushing through her sides. The appearance of the sailor holding the rope and the soldier is highly characteristic; the strongest affliction and anxiety is expressed in their countenances; the sorrow and concern of the soldier seem encreased by observing the affectionate sensibility and regard of his dog. It perhaps is impossible to imagine a production more rich, correct, or replete with grandeur and incident; the clearing up of the sky giving an increased light on the fore ground, the tint and curl of the waves, and the broken billows rushing up between the cavities of the rocks, are truly natural representations which must have been observed by every person, and, in their forcible appeal to the feelings of individuals, carry a conviction of their beauty and merit. -- On canvas (George Morland)|Shipwreck...For pathos and effect this may be considered as the chef-d'oeuvre of our artist.

It perhaps is impossible to imagine a production more rich, correct, or replete with grandeur and incident; the clearing up of the sky giving an increased light on the fore ground, the tint and curl of the waves, and the broken billows rushing up between the cavities of the rocks, are truly natural representations which must have been observed by every person, and, in their forcible appeal to the feelings of individuals, carry a conviction of their beauty and merit. -- On canvas]] réalisée par George Morland, vendue par Charles Chatfield au prix de 210.0 £.

  • 1807.05.07/ maison de ventes : Coxe (Peter). Vente de l'œuvre décrite comme [[The Cornish Plunderers...This is considered as the chief of Morland's paintings, and perhaps in beauty and effect, may vie with the best productions of any artist: never was a narrative described with more simplicity or force. The scene is laid in Cornwall. A band of plunderers having observed a ship in distress at a distance, by hoisting up false lights, decoyed the vessel upon the neighbouring rocks, where she was soon dashed to pieces. The group of figures is represented as having returned from the plunder of the ship, and examining their booty. No individual painting ever contained more beauties: the characters are happily chosen; they are the sturdy inhabitants of the sea-coast, whose features are hardened by being constantly exposed to scenes of distress, and the inclemencies of the weather. The disposal of the actors is no less judicious; they give life and animation to the scene, without crowding or confusing: the variety of attitudes, and attention each individual pays to his employment, heighten the interest of the spectator. Morland has displayed equal judgment in the choice of his colours: the more rich tints are brought forward in the piece to give effect and distance. The sky and sombre appearance of the atmosphere is nothing more than what every spectator, whose observation has been turned to the appearance of nature after a storm, must have remarked. The minor parts of the picture are highly finished and replete with beauties. -- On canvas (George Morland)|The Cornish Plunderers...This is considered as the chief of Morland's paintings, and perhaps in beauty and effect, may vie with the best productions of any artist: never was a narrative described with more simplicity or force.
