The blowing up of L'Orient, forms the centre, and the double line of the British Fleet the wings of the composition: a number of English, exerting themselves to save their vanquished enemies, in the fore part completes the arrangement. This work is so well known, that it would be repeating an oft told tale to speak of its beauties: suffice it to say it is a double honour to the Nation, whose naval achievement it records, as it shews that the Arts of the country are capable of handing down to posterity in a suitable manner, those actions which none but Englishmen can perform (Loutherbourg)|The Battle of the Nile. -- This never to be forgotten Victory, has given the Painter an excellent opportunity of exerting his superior talent in depicting the activity and bustle of an engagement.

  • 1815.04.29/ maison de ventes : Stanley (George). Vente de l'œuvre décrite comme [[The Battle of Camperdown. -- The time of representation, chosen by the Artist appears to be when the Dutch Admiral's ship was boarded and carried by the irresistable impetuosity of our couragious Sailors: the masts and rigging are gone by the board, and form the last resource to the unfortunate Seamen hurried into the Ocean, and who are seen struggling with the element. A silvery tone of light illumines the centre, and enables the spectator to behold the wreck in its terrific glory.

  • 1815.04.29/ maison de ventes : Stanley (George). Vente de l'œuvre décrite comme [[The Death of Darius. This wonderful production of the graphic art is entitled to peculiar attention, not only as being one of the very few Pictures by this Master in this country; but, as possessing in a high degree those excellencies which stamp the merit of the Artist. The story here represented is related by several ancient writers; and the circumstances attending the death of the King of Persia, were worthy of being delineated by the pencil, as being extremely pathetic and interesting. Caracci has chosen the moment when the dying Monarch is discovered by Polystratus, a Macedonian, as he travelled through the forest where Bessus and his accomplices, after having wounded him in several places, had dismembered the horses and left their master to his fate. No scene could be more appropriate for the perpetration of a deed of such cruelty, than the one the painter has conceived; and few pencils could have delineated with equal effect the necessary combination of light and darkness which is spread with such a masterly hand over every object. The solemn gloom of the forest, made visible by the gleams of the moon; the opening glades that shew the deep and tangled recesses; the silent waters; the untrodden paths; all tend to awaken sublime emotions, and to impress the mind with the value of a work that possesses the power of conveying ideas which both affect and delight. A volume would scarce suffice to speak the picture's merits; a glance on its surface will compel the spectator to feel them (Lodovico Caracci)|The Death of Darius.
