In this Picture of Diogenes we behold the Philosopher pointing to a Traveller, who is drinking water out of the hollow of his hands; thereby proving to his Disciples, that the Wants of Man are within his own reach, and that he does not stand in need of even a Wooden Bowl to convey the limpid Stream to his parched Lips. Salvator Rosa has given great dignity to the Philosopher, by the grandeur in which he has treated the Story, evinced by the respectful astonishment shown by his Disciples To these subjects, thus magnificently treated, the great Artist had given an appropriate selection of solemn Landscape Scenery (Salvator Rosa)|Diogenes.

  • 1814.06.01/ maison de ventes : Coxe (Peter). Vente de l'œuvre décrite comme [[Heraclitus. Here the Painter has with propriety confined the subject to a single Figure, pensive, abstracted, reflecting on the uncertainty of life and the miseries of the world, partly hiding his face from observation through seriousness of thought, his head leaning on his hand, in a posture, not of listlessness, but accordant with the mind that could be so occupied, drawn in a grand position, and worthy of an understanding that dares to surrender itself to the melancholy reflection of man's frail mortality, who is "born to trouble as the sparks fly upward." In this Picture Salvator has shown great comprehensiveness in portraying his Subject; for he has strewed the Ground with the Emblems of Mortality of almost universal Nature, and has added Fragments of Art mouldering in decay.

  • 1814.06.01/ maison de ventes : Coxe (Peter). Vente de l'œuvre décrite comme [[A Storm. -- The versatility of talent that this extraordinary and excellent Marine Painter could display, in personifying the fluctuating Element of Water in all its variety, from the perfect calm through all its interesting changes in the succeeding ripple, and watch the waves upon the gradual appearance, when the Painter may be said to riot in the awfulness of Nature, to "ride on the whirlwind and direct the storm," has been evinced in the assemblage of Pictures now on sale. Here he has given the Portrait of a State Vessel driven by the influence of a Storm, carrying no more sail than will keep her steady upon a heavy and rolling sea. The blackness of the Clouds in the Horizon indicates that the brunt of the Storm is only approaching, and has not yet reached its acme of fury. It is a noble display of talent, that shows his perfect command of nautical knowledge and perfect powers of appropriate representation. The Sea is absolutely in motion, in one vast flow of turbulent agitation, and the Colour is the colour of the Element itself.

Vente de l'œuvre décrite comme [[Landscape and Figures. -- The comprehensiveness of this great Artist's pencil, which could embrace the whole round of Nature, and equally display its powers in Allegory, History, and Classic illustration, has here restrained itself to represent unsophisticated Nature in all her tranquillity of rural simplicity and beauty, and proves by the charm of Art, that Nature is, "when unadorned, adorned the most." No mind can properly feel the value of Art, that does not look upon the pictures that Nature presents before it in reality, in her inexhaustible form, and ever varying colour, her effects of light and shade, her clearness of air, her occasional densities, vapours and brilliancies. Every spot, to such an observer, becomes of consequence, and the subdued Scene presents to the eye of contemplation as much charm as the most expansive Scenery, though not in the same abundance and variety. The Picture embraces Wood, Water, a Road, a dark Sky, verdant Culture, Cattle and Figures. It has been, from the circumstance of Cattle drinking in the Stream, and a Horseman refreshing his Steed, called "The Watering Place," and is evidently the counterpart or first thought for the same subject in the possession of the Dutchess Dowager of Buccleuch.
