  • 1813.03.22/ maison de ventes : Coxe (Peter). Vente de l'œuvre décrite comme [[Acis and Galatea. No master seemed to understand more justly the beauty of the classic subjects, which poured from the pen of Ovid, with so much tenderness and effect; and it may perhaps be a question in the present instance, whether the painter has not done equal justice to the story. With a delightful pencil, sweet tone of colouring, complete harmony, and graceful beauty, he has represented Galatea, with her attendant, sea nymphs and tritons, listening to the account which Acis, rising from his watery domain, gives of his transformation; and she appears feelingly sensible that they must be separated for ever (Filippo Laura)|Acis and Galatea.

  • 1813.03.22/ maison de ventes : Coxe (Peter). Vente de l'œuvre décrite comme [[A rich Landscape, in which is introduced Apollo pursuing Eurydice, who is meeting her death by the bite of a Serpent that springs on her from among a bed of flowers, and saves her, at the expence of her life, from the intemperance of the lawless Deity. There is a charm of colour that pervades the whole of the Picture that is peculiarly pleasing (Francisco Mola)|A rich Landscape, in which is introduced Apollo pursuing Eurydice, who is meeting her death by the bite of a Serpent that springs on her from among a bed of flowers, and saves her, at the expence of her life, from the intemperance of the lawless Deity.

  • 1813.03.22/ maison de ventes : Coxe (Peter). Vente de l'œuvre décrite comme [[Familiar Life. This is one of those scenes which pass in the Almadravas, or shambles of a Spanish town; and prove that the master who could elevate himself to the highest point, in painting the Princes of the Court that patronised him, could stoop with versatility of talent, like the great Cervantes, to describe humble life with equal truth. -- Here a Female is dressing muscles in the open air, shutting her eyes to avoid the smoke that issues from the fire, while a Gipsey Woman, waiting to light her pipe, laughs at her delicacy. Behind are Muleteers and persons of higher consideration, in different groups, conversing. The Castilian and Andalusian countenances of the Muleteers are in strong and distinguishable contrast (Velasquez)|Familiar Life.

  • 1813.03.22/ maison de ventes : Coxe (Peter). Vente de l'œuvre décrite comme [[The Contrition of Saint Peter. The countenance of the Saint in this Picture, so different from the many feeble works that are imputed to this master, is full of energetic devotion in the sense the Saint seems to entertain of his own unworthiness; and the expression of the hand, rendered more interesting in art, by the truth of drawing and correctness of colour, is in unison with the countenance. -- This Picture was purchased at Naples, where Luca Giordano's works are in full splendour (Luca Giordano)|The Contrition of Saint Peter. The countenance of the Saint in this Picture, so different from the many feeble works that are imputed to this master, is full of energetic devotion in the sense the Saint seems to entertain of his own unworthiness; and the expression of the hand, rendered more interesting in art, by the truth of drawing and correctness of colour, is in unison with the countenance. -- This Picture was purchased at Naples, where Luca Giordano's works are in full splendour]] réalisée par Luca Giordano, vendue par James Poole au prix de 5.5 £.

  • 1813.03.22/ maison de ventes : Coxe (Peter). Vente de l'œuvre décrite comme [[Timothy, when a Youth. St. Paul, in his Epistle to Timothy, says to him, "From a child thou hast known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation;" and this Picture is evidently the representation of a Youth of contemplative mind, pondering on the contents of the volume which he holds in his hand: the countenance is designed rather to express character than great beauty, and the natural severity of intense thinking; while the form of the mouth indicates the power of a commanding eloquence. As a work of art, independent of character, is is clear and forcible in colour -- from the Orleans collection (Parmigiano)|Timothy, when a Youth.

  • 1813.03.22/ maison de ventes : Coxe (Peter). Vente de l'œuvre décrite comme [[Landscape and Figures, an upright. A magnificent Rocky Scene and Water-fall, representing Nature in her grand forms, and almost inaccessible heights; such as from which the spectator would be made giddy on looking at the depth below. Growing out of the fissures of the Rock are the stems of ancient trees, in rude and mutilated forms; and the figures represented in the Foreground serve as a judicious scale, to give a proper idea of the mountain's altitude, and are suitable to the rude scene; while an opening, like the Pierre Pertius in Switzerland, beautifully introduces the Champaign country in mild and interesting contrast (Salvator Rosa)|Landscape and Figures, an upright.

  • 1813.03.22/ maison de ventes : Coxe (Peter). Vente de l'œuvre décrite comme [[Saint Sebastian. Subjects of this description occupied the attention of the great Artists of Italy, with a double view. They proved their powers in the higher department of art, while they perpetuated the story of the Martyr's sufferings, mixing their own fame with religious history. The character of the martyred soldier is finely sustained in this picture. There is a force of colour and manliness of countenance suited to that station of life that had faced danger, and been exposed to the effects of the varying seasons. The features betray no expression of agony that harrows the feelings -- It is the look of fervent devotion, and the fortitude with which pain appears to be endured, shews the inward consolation of the Christian -- enamelled by Mr. Bone, for T. Hope, Esq. (Guido)|Saint Sebastian. Subjects of this description occupied the attention of the great Artists of Italy, with a double view.

  • 1813.03.22/ maison de ventes : Coxe (Peter). Vente de l'œuvre décrite comme [[St. John preaching in the Wilderness. Though this great painter has chose this often repeated subject to evince his powers, he has not adopted the deep and unnecessary gloom of a wilderness to exemplify the story, but has made St. John preaching in a spot surrounded by the beauties of nature, sufficiently descriptive at the same time, that he went forth from cities to announce the glad tidings of the coming of Jesus (Annabali Caracci)|St. John preaching in the Wilderness.

  • 1813.03.22/ maison de ventes : Coxe (Peter). Vente de l'œuvre décrite comme [[A Conversation. A Venetian Lady attentively listening to the declarations or recitation of a noble Cavalier, who is looking up to her with attentive regard. The merits of Georgione so well known, and so highly appreciated, are amply maintained in this admirable performance; the rich tone of colour and fascinating powers of the Venetian school are here displayed in their full charms, as well as merit of composition. The canvas is completely filled with excellence from the hand of this great restorer of the art of Painting, and the portraits are evidently those of Philip the Second and his Mistress (Georgione)|A Conversation.

  • 1813.03.22/ maison de ventes : Coxe (Peter). Vente de l'œuvre décrite comme [[A Storm in the Mediterranean; a Sea View taken in the Gulph of Salerno, near the Town of Sorrento -- a grand scene, in which the agitation of the waves is depicted, as well as the whole subject, with all the power of Salvator Rosa. The effect is striking, and shews the mind and hand of a great master, that does not lose by the comparison. The bold and dangerous shore is rendered tremendous by the faithful representation of the conflict of the elements and consequent shipwreck. It is a noble specimen of sublime art, and would do honour to any collection (Tempesta)|A Storm in the Mediterranean; a Sea View taken in the Gulph of Salerno, near the Town of Sorrento -- a grand scene, in which the agitation of the waves is depicted, as well as the whole subject, with all the power of Salvator Rosa.

  • 1813.03.22/ maison de ventes : Coxe (Peter). Vente de l'œuvre décrite comme [[The Portrait of Prince Don Carlos of Austria. This delightfully painted portrait is full of vivacity and beauty. The Prince is dressed in a rich suit of armour inlaid with gold; with the device of a crescent introduced in various parts, accompanied by a monogram.* footnote: The Crescent it is presumed is illustrative of a victory over the Turks A light elegant Spanish ruff enlivens the figure. The carnations throughout the countenance are happily blended, and there is also a brilliancy and roundness of effect, produced with scarcely any shadow, that is singularly pleasing. The character is worthy of Titian's pencil -- it has dignity with suavity, the stamp of the Prince and the Gentleman (Titian)|The Portrait of Prince Don Carlos of Austria.

  • 1813.03.22/ maison de ventes : Coxe (Peter). Vente de l'œuvre décrite comme [[Landscape and Figures. This magnificent picture represents a solemn woody scene, or deep grove; such a grove as fancy may imagine was that of Dodona; and in which Nicolo Poussin has depicted Floralia, or Nymphs, collecting flowers for the supposed purpose of decorating a sacrificial altar. Through the wood, a small river finds its passage, in gently but animated motion. The venerable appearance and richness of the trees, the effect of sunshine in the mid-distance, the beautiful gleam of light in the remote, the figures that animate the middle part; the care and attention that has been paid to the sky and fore-ground, and the whole charm of the composition, speak at once these great Painter's powers, and classic information (Gaspar Poussin)|Landscape and Figures.

  • 1813.03.22/ maison de ventes : Coxe (Peter). Vente de l'œuvre décrite comme [[Venus and Cupid. Venus is represented in a rich Landscape, resting on a velvet couch, attended by Cupid, who with his left hand supports part of the armour of Mars which is beside him with the shield and helmet. It may be said of this Picture, that these great Painters dipt their pencils in gold, to accomplish this brilliant performance. The whole is a blaze of colour; the carnations animate the landscape and the landscape in return throws back a resplendent lustre on the figures in rivalry of mastership. The principal figure is evidently a portrait, and the resemblance may be traced to the likeness of Joan of Austria, daughter of Ferdinand I. Emperor and King of the Romans, and wife of Francis I. Duke of Etruria (Titiano)|Venus and Cupid.

  • 1813.03.22/ maison de ventes : Coxe (Peter). Vente de l'œuvre décrite comme [[A Pair. The Head of the Saviour, and the Head of David. The Head of the Saviour. This great master, so deservedly esteemed in his best works, and which are of such high reputation and value, has perhaps in no single head ever surpassed this sublime conception. In the character of the meek, sorrowful, and agonized Saviour, there is here represented a piety and humility of expression, mixed with a becoming dignity, that is of the first order of the art, and in which the sufferings of the mind supersede the agonies of the gross faculties; it is spiritual, not corporeal pain. The Saviour, feeling for the fallen state of man, for whom he was the propitiation, enduring a painful and ignominious death, is described with characteristic energy. Subtracted from this just and noble elevation of pious and benevolent character, the facility and spirit of accomplishment are deserving the subject and the master's reputation, and the drawing and marking of the countenance are most excellent, while the clearness of the shadows, and the properly subdued and pallid complexion, indicating the near approach of death, is in the truth of Nature. This is the finished study for the "Great Crucifix," as the picture is called, which is now in the Louvre, and which was part of the Duke of Medina's collection Mr. Bone, Royal Academician, has selected these Pictures to display his powers in enamel, and hand down to posterity his own exquisite art, with the transcendent merits of Guido, perpetuating thus his own well-deserved fame through the finest examples (Guido Rheni)|A Pair.

  • 1813.03.22/ maison de ventes : Coxe (Peter). Vente de l'œuvre décrite comme [[A Pair. The Head of the Saviour, and the Head of David. The Head of David. The finished study for the great Picture of David holding up the Head of Goliah, which is now in the Louvre, and was formerly in the possession of the King of Sardinia. In pourtraying this Head, the painter seems to have exerted all his great talents. The air assumed for the youthful champion and deliverer of his country is of the most exalted kind, such as might be supposed he would display when elevating the head of his presumptuous, vanquished, decapitated enemy, who had defied the armies of the Living God. The generous glow of ardent health on the countenance, the fixed attention of the eyes, and contempt so decidedly marked in the raising of the upper lip, all conspire to give a grand idea of the action, and to assure the spectator of the enthusiasm felt by the painter at the time of his pourtraying this most admirable performance.
