  • 1830.06.29/ maison de ventes : Phillips (Harry). Vente de l'œuvre décrite comme [[This chef d'oeuvre, a Battle betwixt Cavalry and Infantry, is one of the most exquisite productions of this elegant minded Artist. It formerly graced the Gallery of the Prince of Orange at the Hague, where it occupied the place of honour, and was esteemed by every Connoisseur as the most distinguished work of art of the Flemish School, in that Collection. The Group consists of Cavalry Officers, and Soldiers in dreadful conflict. The principal Figure (an Officer) is mounted on a pie-bald Horse of great beauty: in the right corner, a mottled grey Horse is just fallen, and his Rider lies dead on his face. Above, in the distance, is a ruined Tower, beautifully lighted, with a number of men rushing towards the scene of action; and a Charge of Cavalry, finely varied and delicately pencilled, fills up the composition on the right: the left is closed by another charge upon Infantry, behind the flying Ensign Bearer. This part of the group is replete with the most varied action and circumstance. Nothing can surpass the expression of the active combatants, or of the wounded men and horses on the ground. This picture has ever been esteemed the chef-d'ouvre of this Artist's pencil; for elaborate finish, variety of well pourtrayed character, and faithfully narrating the horrors of a conflict, without one disgusting object; and in the highest preservation.

  • 1830.06.29/ maison de ventes : Phillips (Harry). Vente de l'œuvre décrite comme [[St. Jerome at Devotion; one of the grandest works of P. Veronese, and described as such by several esteemed writers on Art, together with the Communion of St. Jerome, (now the property of the British Institution, and purchased of Mr. Delahante, at £1500.) to which it was a companion in the Church of the Monastery of St. Benedict, at Mantua; a Grand Gallery Picture They both possess a large share of historical dignity in the air and expression of the figures; a peculiar richness and vigour in the tints and tones of colour, and an equal degree of vigour in the handling and touches. The elevated expression of St. Jerome is doubly recommended by its being wholly devoid of every thing fictitious, for the ease, the simplicity, and truth of nature are conspicuous throughout; as also, by the drawing and colouring of the figure, which are evidently after the life. This reference to living objects, for the drawing, colouring, and expression was indeed the almost constant and universal practise of the old masters. It effectually prevented their beauty of form and colour from degenerating into affectation and manner, and their sublimity into bombast. The more this picture is contemplated, the deeper will its beauties enter into the heart, because they are congenial with truth, and address our best feelings, and most cultivated taste. The Virgin, Infant Christ, and Angels, the objects of the Saint's Devotions, glow with chaste and lively colour, and are most delicately expressed (P.
