Vente de l'œuvre décrite comme [[Jupiter and Io. -- We are aware that this is a deep Connoisseur Picture, and perhaps best fitted for the experienced and scientific eye of a profound Judge; it is however only necessary to observe the sublime and mysterious effect produced in the landscape by almost imperceptible gradations of the same coloring, and the great though unequal talent displayed in the figures, to at once discern that it is the work of no common hand.

We are not a little proud of being the medium of presenting to the public a work of such pre-eminent excellence as that now before us; it is one of those few productions which defies criticism, and calls forth every encomium which the Art is capable of exciting; -- we will refrain from any further comment, and merely state that it is from the Altieri Gallery, and was the Picture among those of the cabinet class which Carlo Marratt was heard oftenest to commend.

  • 1817.12.02/ maison de ventes : Herbert (J.D.). Vente de l'œuvre décrite comme [[La Solitude, or Dìsert Habité par des Cenobites. -- What we have observed of the preceding article equally applies to this, and we may say with truth, a Picture of paramount importance was perhaps never offered for sale in this country. Those who have visited the French Museum must have noticed Poussin's celebrated landscape called "Diogene jetant son ècuelle," for which the Picture now before us was intended as a companion, and is in no particular its inferior. It is from the collection of the Marquis de Hauterive, and was purchased many years ago for a sum so considerable, as leaves at the present day but little hope of an adequate remuneration. Felibien, in his Life of Poussin, gives the following appropriate comment on the Picture: "Cette solitude que est chez Mons. le Marquis de Hauterive ou l'on voit des moines assis contre terrè, et appliquez a la lecture, ne cause-t'elle pas une certain repos a l'ame qui faite naître une desir de pouvoir joüir d'une tranquillitè pareille a celle ou l'on croit voir de Religieux dans un desert si plaisable et si charmant." It is engraved by Picart, and while in the possession of Mr. Sweetman by J. Dague, for Landon's work of the vies des peintres; the first accompanies the Picture, and the latter with Felibien will be produced for reference (Nicolo Poussin)|La Solitude, or Dìsert Habité par des Cenobites. -- What we have observed of the preceding article equally applies to this, and we may say with truth, a Picture of paramount importance was perhaps never offered for sale in this country.
