Thetis requesting a new suit of armour from Vulcan, for Achilles after the death of Patroclus. Size, 7 feet 10, by 9 feet. Then calling forth Her spouse the glorious artist, thus she said; Haste Vulcan, Thetes wants thee, linger not; To whom the artist of the skies replied, A goddess then whom justly I respect, And venerate, is here; * * * * * He spake, and vast in bulk, and hot with toil, Rose limping from his anvil stock. * * * * * Therefore at thy knees, Suppliant I fall, imploring from thine art, A Shield, and Helmet, Greaves of shapely form, With clasps secured; and corslet for my son. Iliad, Book XVIII. These grand Gallery Paintings, (suited to ornament the hall, lobby, or staircase of the most splendid mansion in the kingdom) are acknowledged to be the chef d'oeuvres of Balestra, and were obtained by Mons. Stiers from out of the Aldobrandini Palace at Rome, as fit to adorn even his Collection, -- famed as it has long been, as one of the most select in Europe. Their subject, taken from the Iliad, Virgil's AEneid, and the Agamemnon of AEschylus, is chosen with infinite judgment, and handled in the most able manner. Balestra was celebrated for his intimate acquaintance with the ancient Mythology, by which he was led to indulge in those representations which gratify the scholar by their apt and pleasing reminiscences while the elegance and graceful propriety of his execution, afford delight to the connoisseur. These compositions, in which he has succeeded in combining with his own, the excellencies of Raphael, Correggio, and the Caracci, are masterly and striking proofs of his skill, when he chose to exert it. His Men are full of energy and expression, and the Females truly heavenly. Strict attention is paid to costume: the draperies are grand and appropriate; while his figures display a finished grace and correctness of delineation seldom, if ever, found in works of their size. His colouring -- rich, transparent, and glowing, harmonizes with the subject; and in the management of the chiaro-scuro, and of his Landscapes and Backgrounds, one is reminded of the picturesque effect and brilliancy of tone evinced by his great contemporary, Salvator Rosa (Antonio Balestra)|Six Historical Gallery Paintings.

Meantime in shades of night AEneas lies: Care seized his soul, and sleep forsook his eyes. But when the sun restored the cheerful day, He rose, the coast and country to survey, Anxious and eager to discover more. It look'd a wild, cultivated shore: But, whether human kind, or beasts alone, Possessed the new found region, was unknown Beneath a ledge of rocks his fleet he hides: Tall trees surround the mountain's shady sides: The bending brow above, a safe retreat provides. Armed with two pointed darts, he leaves his friends; And true Achates on his steps attends. Lost in the deep recesses of the wood, Before his eyes his goddess-mother stood -- A huntress in her habit and her mein: Her dress a maid, her air confessed a Queen. Bare wree her knees, and knots her garments bind; Loose was her hair, and wanton'd in the wind; Her hand sustained a bow, her quiver hung behind. Dryden's Virgil, AEneid, I.
