There is no doubt but the genius of the pupils had a considerable influence on the manner of this master; for we find much more propriety of colouring, and harmony of pencilling, in the latter works of J. Bellino, than in his early performances, of which this is one; yet much of the hard Gothic gusto still remained. Panel (Giovanni Bellini)|A Madonna and Child.

  • 1813.-.-/ maison de ventes : Andrews (Henry C.). Vente de l'œuvre décrite comme [[The Virgin and Child, with Flowers in a Garland. The head of the Virgin, in this picture, is delicately beautiful, and, no doubt, is a portrait of the wife of the painter; she is recorded to have been very handsome, and the model from which he took all the heads of his Madonas; it possesses all the sweetness, grace, and appropriate dignity of the character; and has much of the manner of Raphael in his early productions. The natural and exquisite touch, with which the flowers are finished, makes me almost think they have been painted at a more recent period than the rest of the painting. For truth to nature, colouring and firmness of pencilling, they may vie with the best of Van Huysum, Baptiste, or De Heem. A great deal of the formal, stiff, dry manner of this early day of painting, Perugino, notwithstanding all his advantages, could not shake off; yet is there a harmony, delicacy and roundness, which pervade the whole of his works. This picture, it is presumed, must be placed amongst the early productions of the artist...Panel The preceding was excerpted (Pietro Vannucci, Called, Pietro Perugino)|The Virgin and Child, with Flowers in a Garland.

Vente de l'œuvre décrite comme [[Portrait of Francis the First, of France, at the Age of 24, in the Character of Saint John the Baptist; Pointing to a Lamb, as the Medium of our Redemption. Ecce agnus Dei, qui tollit peccata mundi! This painting, without a fellow, is, perhaps, the only preserved specimen, that can be authenticated, from the pencil of this sublime artist. Its authenticity is accidentally innate with the picture, and that unquestionable...most of the accredited pictures of Leonardo are enumerated; the present one is noticed, as having been, formerly, at Paris, in the collection of Mons. Jabac, as a picture of St. John the Baptist, half length, but is not recognized as a portrait of Francis; though said to have been, formerly, in the Royal Collection at Fontainbleau. No wonder the picture was not known for a portrait, as the chronological record, at the bottom of the painting, was obliterated with dark paint; this was the principal datum by which the certainty of the picture's being the production of Leonardo, could be determined. For whatever the exquisite beauty and perfectness of the work, or the sublimity and grand gousto, of the composition might have done, as proof of its originality, so often has it been said, he never painted in France, that without this corroborative evidence, it might have been questioned; this, added to other coinciding points, puts it out of doubt. Upon examining the painting, with the hopes of finding the author's name, and removing what, I thought, had been apparently recently added, at the bottom of the picture, I was astonished to find, that it had been painted over, to conceal the writing, and instead of the artist's name, (a character often interpolated, when but little other guarantee can be found, to fix the master, and give the idea of originality to the piece), I discovered to the full extent of my wish, and much more than my hopes. Francis the first, came to the throne in 1515, at the age of 21; Leonardo came into France in 1518, when Francis was 24, the year the picture was drawn...the lamb, in this picture, may be truly said, to appear to live; it is beyond the power of art to exceed it. The foreshortening of the left arm is wonderful...A most important character as to date and originality, is the frame of this picture; it is made of the same oak as the panel, bears the same marks of antiquity, and certainly was made at the same time. It has carved on it the age 1518, at the bottom, with an F at the top; the character that all the pictures have, which were painted for the Fontainbleau gallery, from whence it has, at some period, been surreptitiously taken...Oak Panel The preceding was excerpted (Leonardo da Vinci)|Portrait of Francis the First, of France, at the Age of 24, in the Character of Saint John the Baptist; Pointing to a Lamb, as the Medium of our Redemption.

  • 1813.-.-/ maison de ventes : Andrews (Henry C.). Vente de l'œuvre décrite comme [[The Interview of Coriolanus and his Family, Near Rome; with T. Aufidius, and the Volscian Army. Amongst the numerous productions from the pencil of this renowned painter, this has a fair claim to be placed in the foremost rank. The subject he has chosen, is truly dramatical for effect, and he has given it all due force in the design and composition; a volume would scarcely serve, were I to dilate on all its beauties. The story is completely told, of this scene, on the canvass. Coriolanus, having been banished Rome, for his insolence to the common people, retires in disgust to the Volscians, who receive him with open arms, and make him their General, on the condition of leading them against their too powerful neighbours, the Romans; these, fearing the result, have endeavoured to recall him in vain; he arrives within five miles of Rome, where the interview represented, takes place. The mother Volumnia, his children and their mother Virgilia, all form interesting groups, exhibiting a most interesting scene. The landscape, and distant view of Rome, with the encampment of the Volscian army, are kept in the most exquisite perspective, and the brilliant tone of colour preserved through the whole picture, seems like the painting of the last century...The picture here described has no modern copy that I know of, and it would be singular if it had, as it certainly had not been seen for at least 150 years, being completely incrusted with dirt of age, and hardly could one figure be distinguished...Canvass The preceding was excerpted (Tiziano Vecelli Cavaliere, Called, Titian)|The Interview of Coriolanus and his Family, Near Rome; with T.
