  • 1825.04.09/ maison de ventes : Wright (Francis). Vente de l'œuvre décrite comme [[Interior of a Cathedral The truth of representation, so conspicuous in the works of Neefs, is perhaps superior to any other artist of his time. He seems to have been determined that every part of his buildings should be known, as well as their general appearance. His great architectural knowledge, and his deep acquaintance with the laws of perspective, joined to a correct eye, and a taste for elegant disposition, give to the performances of Neefs a decided pre-eminence in this department of the art. To render his works more valuable, he was accustomed to engage the most eminent artists to introduce the figures into his pictures. John Breughel seems to have been employed on this occasion. The clear and beautiful stream of light that pervades every part of the Church, exhibits the minuter beauties to perfection; and even the several decorations of the altar-pieces are distinguishable in their subjects. The whole has the lightness, airiness, and freedom of manner, that so peculiarly belongs to this master, and places him above his competitors (Peter Neefs)|Interior of a Cathedral The truth of representation, so conspicuous in the works of Neefs, is perhaps superior to any other artist of his time.
