  • 1817.05.08/ maison de ventes : Stanley (George). Vente de l'œuvre décrite comme [[The Incredulity of St. Thomas, composed of six Figures of the natural size to the knees. The figure of Christ is given with much majesty and benevolence; he is holding Thomas by the right hand, and placing his finger on the wound in his body; his left hand is extended: the face of St. Peter, who is next to Christ, expresses admiration and commiseration; that of St. Thomas a mixture of fear and confusion, finely contrasted with the suavity of the Saviour: three other figures complete the group. This capital production was painted by the Artist when in Italy, at the time he was employed by the Duke of Mantua, and when he was contemplating the Works of the most celebrated Masters of the Italian Schools. It is related, that being reproached by the Artists of Italy that his pictures were defective in purity of design, and that his sole excellence was in colour, he undertook this work to prove that he could, when willing, design with equal purity and grandeur to the best of their country. The pictures which he painted in this manner are extremely rare, and are held in high estimation on the Continent. On pannel (P. P.
