  • 1807.06.13/ maison de ventes : Christie's. Vente de l'œuvre décrite comme [[The Highly Famed Chef d'Oeuvre, The Woman Taken In Adultery. A Picture which in the Perfection of his Talent, his Vigor yet unrelaxed by the Applause of his Countrymen and by the Gain which rewarded his numerous Efforts, (by which he was led into his loose but bolder Style of Executing,) Rembrandt, with Gratitude, and Care commensurate with his Feelings, executed for the Burgomaster Six. This wonderful Picture comprehends a varied Group of more than Sixty Figures; in the lower Part, a powerful Light upon the Steps of the Temple, shews a finely empassioned Group, among which are particularly striking, the Woman kneeling, and confessing her Crime; a Rabbi lifting up her Veil and denouncing her; a second, with his attention fixed upon the Christ, awaiting his Decision; and a brutal Soldier, only intent upon the Infliction of the Punishment expected. In the upper Part of the Picture, the genius of the Painter has aspired to higher Effect. The Holy of Holies is there thrown open, and displays the High Priest beneath a Canopy of Gold, Silver and Jewels, which reflect a golden Gloom over various Figures, in devout Silence considering the Law, while others are kneeling at the approach of the sacred Inclosure. The more powerful Light below flashes on the Spectator, as if shewing the superior Purity of Divine Justice over that of Human Decrees. But the productions of Rembrandt's Mind and Genius are not to be reduced to Description; may it rather be hoped, that the Spirit of the English Collectors will allow this work to remain in the Country, that Artists and Connoisseurs may enjoy, by Leisure and Contemplation, that, which cannot be embraced by them in the course of a short Exhibition (Rembrandt)|The Highly Famed Chef d'Oeuvre, The Woman Taken In Adultery.
