  • 1832.04.11/ maison de ventes : Exeter Hall. Vente de l'œuvre décrite comme [[Samson and Dalilah. Here is a subject treated totally different to the usual manner.

The story is told much in the way that Hogarth would have treated it, but painted in a manner that that artist could not attain to.

  • 1832.04.11/ maison de ventes : Exeter Hall. Vente de l'œuvre décrite comme [[Christ bearing his Cross. This sublime Picture of the Spanish school, is alone sufficient to justify the appellation given to this highly-distinguished Artist, in his own country, of the "Divine Morales." Specimens of this Master are very rare. The altar-piece of Magdalen Chapel at Oxford is generally attributed to him, and therefore particular attention is invited to this picture. The meekness and resignation pourtrayed in the suffering countenance of the Saviour, must strike every beholder, and we think it will be allowed to surpass the Oxford altar-piece, favourite as it is in that University.-- From the Calonne Collection (Morales)|Christ bearing his Cross.
