  • 1833.03.15/ maison de ventes : Robins (Henry J. & George Henry). Vente de l'œuvre décrite comme [[St. Mary of Egypt. The St. Mary, who is reported to have devoted the last forty years of her life to penance and fasting, is, according to the legend, represented borne to heaven by infant angels. Graphic personifications of sublime subjects wrought on the elevated gusto of this extraordinary picture, might naturally excite the religious devotee of by-gone days, to abstract their thoughts from carnal objects, when even the most enlightened of our age can scarcely contemplate this pictured history, so touching is its pathos, without emotion. The effect of the composition, indeed, is awfully grand. The picture is supposed to have been painted for Leo X., during his cardinalship, an inference almost warranted by the circumstance of his portrait being introduced at the base of the composition. Vasari has left ample testimony to the fame of the painter amongst his contemporaries. A work of his hand being celebrated as a star of the first magnitude in the constellation of art in the Florence gallery. This picture is alluded to in the highest terms of praise, by the same intelligent authority, as one of the master works of the age, left at his death, prepared with brown, and only in parts finished. The head of St. Mary, as appears, is nearly accomplished, with an expression and character amounting almost to perfection. Raffaelle, during his sojourn at Florence, derived that great improvement in the study of colouring, under the tuition of the Frate, to whom, in return, it is recorded, he taught the science of perspective (Frate Bartolomo)|St. Mary of Egypt.

The elevated character of this composition might, without injury to that great painter, be ascribed to Leonardo da Vinci. The splendour of colouring displayed upon the Virgin, and the luminous effect distributed upon the other figures near the arch in the background, produce surprising depth and richness. The grouping is no less admirable, the position of the infant Saviour reclining on the lap of the Virgin forms a graceful contour; in the rear of the scene, near steps leading to the arched opening, is St. Joseph consersing with the infant St. John; and further on are buildings and St. Elizabeth reading.

  • 1833.03.15/ maison de ventes : Robins (Henry J. & George Henry). Vente de l'œuvre décrite comme [[Samson and Dalilah. Note. -- (See page 45 There is a circumstance combined with this extraordinary composition which should be recorded in justice to the fame of its author. The invention of that species of graphic drama, so universally ascribed to Hogarth, belongs to Jan Stein. For that graphic wit, which "paints the moral," so abundantly displayed in the works of our illustrious countryman, alike prevails in this painted drama of Samson; the moral inculcated obviously tending to show that honour, health, and strength, indeed all manly attributes, physical and moral, become prostrate to the indulgence of what the sacred record designates, "chambering and wantonness." The great, the mighty Samson, the terror of Philistine hosts, is herein represented the victim to his lust, "shorn of his beams," the derision of his mercenary paramour, and led away captive by the strength of a boy..) This extraordinary composition may be quoted as an illustration of the strange and unaccountable propensity which prevailed in almost every part of Christendom for travestying Holy Scripture. The ancient moralities, or miracle plays, misnamed "Sacred Dramas," so common in England during the monkish times, and occasionally even performed in churches, were of the same cast and character as this graphic illustration of the story of Samson and Dalilah: that dramatic representation, which was tolerated in the histrionic, might well be permitted in the graphic art, without doing much violence to the taste of the age which could delicht in such profane exhibitions. As a composition then, viewed through this medium, this pictured drama is replete with interest; whilst, as a specimen of painting, it is almost incomparably superior to all that is known of the homorous class; for every character, and add the accessoirs, are represented with that general truth and veritable individual identity, as to warrant every encomium which connoisseurship has from age bestowed upon it. In invention, and that singular species of humour, which Mr. Horace Walpole aptly denominated "graphic wit," it is superabounding. Hogarth, had he beheld the picture, would have willingly admitted this. As a picture, it exhibits those attributes for which the school was eminent, in a superior degree -- mastery of hand and perfection of eye, being painted with that most felicitous freedom and characteristic truth which always excite in the intelligent mind admiration and delight (Jan Stein)|Samson and Dalilah.

A specimen of the art of a richly pictorial character of composition, one of that particular gusto of design indeed, which in the celebrated coteries of the days of the elder Christie, was particularly designated a "Painter's Picture." The ease and mastery displayed in compositions of this class, by the diversified manner of distributing the colours to the various objects, and the independence and freedom of execution with which the whole subject is wrought, have a natural tendency to excite admiration in the contemplative painter little short of rapture, as evincing, that splendour and effect may be occasionally produced by means that relieve the mind from the more recondite study of his art.

A magnificient study, of a collosal size, wrought in that splendid chiaro 'scuro, which is so eminently displayed in such of the works of the great masters of the Italian schools, as were intended to be contemplated in stations far removed from the eye of the spectator. This countenance is of the epic female sentiment -- beautiful and grand. That it is a study from nature may reasonably be inferred, from the air of truth which beams in the face. Indeed, living prototypes of this grand and dignified character are still to be found in regions not remote from Naples; such as Raffaelle glorified with his pencil, and such as Virgil immortalized with his pen (Correggio)|A Female Head.
