  • 1833.06.22/ maison de ventes : Christie's. Vente de l'œuvre décrite comme [[Winter. Albano has rejected all the usual symbols of this dreay season, neither a cloudy sky nor falling snow characterize the scene. A number of Cupids are forging, sharpening, and trying their arrows, under the eye of Venus and Vulcan; the latter, with his hand leaning on a hammer, is seated on the ground near a helmet and shield which he has just made; he is looking at a group of Loves who are heating the points of their arrows; the arrows are the work of a Cupid who forms them on an anvil; he hands them to another who sharpens them on a grindstone, above which hovers another who is dropping water on the stone. Others, at a distance, are trying their arrows at a mark which they have fashioned into the shape of a heart. Venus, whose car is borne on the clouds, approves their sports; she is attended by three Cupids, who, like herself, have firebrands in their hands. This last picture is not, strictly speaking, a winter subject, but an ingenious allusion to fire, that element which preserves all nature from the benumbing effects of cold. Nothing can be more enchanting than the actions and attitudes of these children. It is acknowledged that no painter has rendered with more truth their countenances, -- sometimes naive, sometimes arch, -- nor drawn with more skill their round and dimpled limbs. Mings considered Albano superior to all other masters in representing female beauty. He was perhaps unique in his manner, and has been styled sometimes the Painter of the Graces, sometimes the Anacreon of Painting. These four pictures still retain the splendidly carved frames in which they were placed in the Santa Croce Palace It was a very remarkable feature in this collection to have two sets of pictures representing the same subject by an Italian and Dutch painter; and being of the very first class they offer a singular opportunity of comparing the spirit, composition, and colouring of the two schools The Seasons, By Albano.

R., in the following words: -- "The Four Seasons represented in four large oval pictures by Albano: we know nothing of this master which surpasses these beautiful productions; the four elements which decorated the sleeping chamber of his Majesty at Turin can alone be compared to them." The limits of a catalogue can convey but an imperfect idea of these admirable compositions, the ingenuity of the design, and the episodes with which they are enriched. A short analysis must suffice.

Mercury is teaching Cupid to read; Venus presiding at the lesson, is delighted at the progress of her son. Every one must admire in this picture all the beauties that Correggio's graceful style is so famous for; sweetness of expression, easy turn of outline, and magical power of colouring. The composition of this picture is the same, with very trifling alteration, as that of one or two other pictures which Correggio has painted of this subject. This picture, of which the figures are nearly the size of life, formerly belonged to the celebrated collection in the Palais Royal, from whence it passed into the cabinet of Mr. Willett, and at his death to that of the late Chevalier Erard. Dubois de Saint Gelais, in his book on the pictures at the Palais Royal, published in 1722, describes this picture thus: "The Education of Love." -- Panel; 4 feet 9 inches by 3 feet 4 inches. Mercury seated naked with the Petasus, and Talaria is teaching Cupid, who is before him, to read. The winged Venus is standing by them, with one arm resting upon the Petasus of Mercury, the other hand touching the wings of Cupid. A rock, surrounded by shrubs, forms the background. The Duke of Orleans purchased this picture from the heirs of Don Olivio Odescalchi, Duke of Bracciano, in whose palace this picture was at the time of the Richardsons, who mention it in their book, entitled "Description des divers fameux Tableaux, Dessins, Statues, &c., qui se trouvent en Italie," as one of the works of art in the Bracciano Palace, volume 3, page 288 of their work. According to Saint Gelais and other writers, this picture was one of those which Queen Christine so highly valued that she took it with her to Rome after her abdication of the crown of Sweden. It had adorned the Imperial Palace at Prague, until the capture of that city, in the thirty years' war, when it was removed to Stockholm. This picture has been several times engraved (Correggio)|The Education of Cupid. Mercury is teaching Cupid to read; Venus presiding at the lesson, is delighted at the progress of her son. Every one must admire in this picture all the beauties that Correggio's graceful style is so famous for; sweetness of expression, easy turn of outline, and magical power of colouring. The composition of this picture is the same, with very trifling alteration, as that of one or two other pictures which Correggio has painted of this subject. This picture, of which the figures are nearly the size of life, formerly belonged to the celebrated collection in the Palais Royal, from whence it passed into the cabinet of Mr. Willett, and at his death to that of the late Chevalier Erard. Dubois de Saint Gelais, in his book on the pictures at the Palais Royal, published in 1722, describes this picture thus: "The Education of Love." -- Panel; 4 feet 9 inches by 3 feet 4 inches.
