  • 1836.02.18/ maison de ventes : Tait (Charles Bertram). Vente de l'œuvre décrite comme [[Our Lord betrayer by Judas Iscariot in the Garden, accompanied by the Chief Priests, Pharisees, and Soldiers. As the works of this Spanish Painter are very scarce, and but little known in this country, it may be mentioned that he was born at Seville in 1528, and died in 1590. He studied for many years in Italy, with such success, "by an improvement in his taste, composition, and freedom of hand, as rendered him equal to the best of his own time, and superior to most of his contemporaries."--Pilkington. On the back of the picture is a note in Spanish, by Pedro del Pozo, at Seville, 28th May, 1782, stating, that this Original Picture by the famous Luys de Bargas, had been painted on hard wood of such weight, and for preservation, it was then, by a difficult and tedious process, successfully transferred to canvass (Louis de Vargas)|Our Lord betrayer by Judas Iscariot in the Garden, accompanied by the Chief Priests, Pharisees, and Soldiers.

  • 1836.02.18/ maison de ventes : Tait (Charles Bertram). Vente de l'œuvre décrite comme [[The Death of Dido. ----------Deep enter'd in her side, The piercing steel, with reeking purple dyed:--Her sad attendants saw the deadly stroke, And with loud cries the sounding palace shook. ******** Then Juno, grieving that she should sustain A death so lingering, and so full of pain, Sent Iris down ***** Downward the various Goddess took her flight, And drew a thousand colours from the light; Then stood above the dying lover's head And said, "I thus devote thee to the dead. This offering to the infernal gods I bear." Thus, while she spoke, she cut the fatal hair; The struggling soul was loos'd, and life dissolved in air. Dryden's Virgil, B. IV. This Picture is dated 1778. In a list of Runciman's Pictures 1779, it was priced Fifty Guineas, and may be reckoned, both as to design and colouring, one of his chief historical works. 4 f. 1 in. by 3 f. 3 in. on canvass (Alexander Runciman)|The Death of Dido. ----------Deep enter'd in her side, The piercing steel, with reeking purple dyed:--Her sad attendants saw the deadly stroke, And with loud cries the sounding palace shook. ******** Then Juno, grieving that she should sustain A death so lingering, and so full of pain, Sent Iris down ***** Downward the various Goddess took her flight, And drew a thousand colours from the light; Then stood above the dying lover's head And said, "I thus devote thee to the dead.
