  • 1824.05.06/ maison de ventes : Stanley (George). Vente de l'œuvre décrite comme [[The Sortie from Gibraltar. The Object of this Sortie was the destruction of the formidable lines of approach, and batteries, which had been constructed before the Fortress by the Spanish besieging Army. These were nearly completed when Lord Heathfield determined to attempt their destruction, which was completely accomplished on the night of the 21st of November, 1781. During the attack, the Commanding Officer of the Spanish Guard on duty (Don Josa Barbosa, Captain of Artillery) finding himself overpowered, called out to his troops, in the true spirit of national Gallantry, which his countrymen have lately so often displayed, "Comrades, if any of you are willing to die as becomes a Spaniard, follow me?" and immediately precipitated himself upon the attacking column, and fell in front of the principal battery, covered with wounds. After the works were carried, the guards and covering parties posted, and the destruction of the works begun, Lord Heathfield, accompanied by several of his Officers, went to the spot where the principal resistance had been made, to see that proper attention was paid to the wounded. Among them, and almost expiring, he found the gallant Spaniard: with that kindness which always accompanies true courage, he offered him every assistance, but the Spaniard replied, "No, Sir, I can have no wish to survive the misfortune and disgrace of this night; I feel myself dying; if you have any respect for my conduct, bury me under the ruins of the post which I have lost." He soon expired, and his last request was fulfilled. This interesting scene forms the pricipal Group of the Picture, and the hero is seen calmly occupied by the duties of humanity, in the midst of surrounding ruin and confusion. In addition to the Portrait of Lord Heathfield, are those of Colonels Triggs, Maxwell, Hardy, and Dackenhausen; Captain Sir R. Curtis, of the Navy; Majors Vallotton, Koehler, Tipping; Captain Witham, &c. &c. This Picture was painted in London in 1788-9. And, although the Print engraved from it by Mr. Sharp is well known to Connoisseurs, and universally considered as one of the finest specimens of the art of Engraving, yet the Picture itself has been very little seen in this country, it having remained several years under the eye of the engraver, and having been afterwards carried abroad The Following Pictures Were Collected by John Trumbull, Esq. in the Year 1795, with the exception of the celebrated "Sortie from Gibralter" which was painted by him to commemorate that glorious event (Trumbull)|The Sortie from Gibraltar.
