A fine Picture of this Master, which it is very rare to find in such high preservation.

  • 1817.-.-/ maison de ventes : Ford (William). Vente de l'œuvre décrite comme [[Holy Family, accompanied by an Angel, wherein the Virgin is teaching the Infant Christ to read. The works of this great Painter, which are very scarce, are seldom seen in this Country, being principally of large dimensions, and to be found only in the Churches and Palaces of the Nobility abroad, which he was much employed to decorate, and where they are deservedly held in the highest estimation. This admirable Picture is in a very high degree, a proof of the eminent talents and peculiar excellencies of this great Painter. The composition is as singular as it is also novel and beautiful, and the figure of the Virgin possesses that graceful and modest character peculiar to this Painter, and which approaches to the utmost perfection of ideal beauty and grace -- but nothing can exceed the animated expression of the Child which is perfect life itself. The Drawing is masterly, the drapery in a broad, grand style, and the colouring mellow, chaste, and well suited to the subject, and it may be esteemed one of his most valuable Pictures. Mr. Bryan speaks very highly of a Picture of this very subject, probably the very identical Picture (Schidone)|Holy Family, accompanied by an Angel, wherein the Virgin is teaching the Infant Christ to read.

  • 1817.-.-/ maison de ventes : Ford (William). Vente de l'œuvre décrite comme [[Young Woman looking through an arched Window -- she is in the act of leaning forwards, &c. This is a most splendid effort of colouring, in which this great Master is allowed to be unrivalled, and one of his most elaborate and finished Pictures; the light is thrown full upon the prominent part of the figure, which possesses more beauty than his females in general -- from this circumstance and the richness of the drapery, there is little doubt of its being the portrait of some female of distinction. Simple as the subject is, there is much novelty in its effect, and as Sir Joshua Reynolds has observed, "there always is a striking effort of a great genius in the works of Rembrandt." Upr.

This is a beautiful composition, though very simple in its design: the correctness of the drawing, the transparency and truth of the fleshy tints, the elegant playfulness of the attitudes, united with the infantine, yet lovely expression of the heads, place it high on the scale of excellence. They are seated in a beautiful, but rather sombre Landscape, which heightens and admirably relieves the figures, and altogether renders it a very valuable specimen of this great Master's talents.

  • 1817.-.-/ maison de ventes : Ford (William). Vente de l'œuvre décrite comme [[The Angel appearing to the Shepherds. This is on two accounts a very extraordinary Picture -- first, from the singular manner in which he has treated the subject, and secondly, from its being almost the only instance of his painting any subjects from History, or where he has introduced figures upon so large a scale. The Angel possesses a commanding and dignified air, but the terror of the affrighted Shepherds and Animals, almost approaches to the ridiculous, and reminds one too closely of the same subject painted by Rembrandt. The Drawing however is good, but perhaps the chief merit of the Picture lies in its colouring, which makes ample amends for any other defects, as it possesses a warmth and brilliancy of effect, which forcibly reminds us of his unrivalled excellence in this department of his Art.
