  • 1829.06.11/ maison de ventes : Phillips (Harry). Vente de l'œuvre décrite comme [[Virgin and Child; a grand altar piece of the largest dimensions, representing the Virgin and Child, with attendant Figures, Angels &c. This work is the undoubted chef d'ouvre sic of the master, and displays, in an eminent degree, all the excellencies of the Venetain school -- splendid and harmonious colouring in union with the most correct and classical drawing. Nothing can exceed the grace and dignity of the whole composition. The form and attitude of the Virgin, the graceful contour, and rich glowing tints of the head, the management of the drapery, &c. give an air of majestic and divine sweetness to this figure, which can scarcely be surpassed by any production of its class. The accessories are all of the most appropriate description; and for breadth and boldness of colour, with the most perfect harmony, this picture may be justly pronounced equal to any of the best performances of the Italian masters (Gio Baptista Tiepolo)|Virgin and Child; a grand altar piece of the largest dimensions, representing the Virgin and Child, with attendant Figures, Angels &c.

  • 1829.06.11/ maison de ventes : Phillips (Harry). Vente de l'œuvre décrite comme [[St. Paul curing the Demonaic: this work is of extrordinary merit, and is mentioned in Bryan's Dictionary as the identical production which obtained the painter admission to the French Academy, and procured him ever after the title of the French Raffaelle. It belongs decidedly to the Raffaell school of composition, and savours strongly of the mind, and even of the hand of that great master. To a disciple of the arts, this picture would be an inestimable acquisition, as in the grouping composition and expression, it presents to the contemplation of the student the assembled characteristics of the Italian school of painting, united in one perfect and original whole. The attitude of the Roman Emperor is full of action, and eloquently indicates the haughty bearing of the Imperial Ruler. The figure of the Apostle, on the contrary, his hands uplifted, in the act of performing a miracle, is expressive of powerful and terrible action, but of a silent and dignified character, strongly contrasting with the impetuous movement of his angry persecutor. A group of sick variously afflicted, stand before St. Paul, soliciting the aid of this miraculous power. The face and form of the Demoniac, distored by the inward suffering, are finely expressive of the subject (Eustachius Le Seur)|St. Paul curing the Demonaic: this work is of extrordinary merit, and is mentioned in Bryan's Dictionary as the identical production which obtained the painter admission to the French Academy, and procured him ever after the title of the French Raffaelle.

  • 1829.06.11/ maison de ventes : Phillips (Harry). Vente de l'œuvre décrite comme [[Pan and Syrinx. It is fabled of the Arcadian God, that the Nymph Syrinx, in order to escape the pursuit of Pan, was changed into a reed, whereupon he took the reed and converting it into a flute with seven holes, consoled himself ever after for his disappointment, by eliciting plaintive music from the object of his former passion. The Nymph is here represented plunging into the stream in which she is about to vegetate, to the edge of which she is closely pursued by the God. N.
