  • 1771.02.08/ maison de ventes : Christie's. Vente de l'œuvre décrite comme [[A Prospect in Flanders -- There is a brilliancy and force in this picture which exceed any thing of the kind I have seen; the distant prospect contains a variety of objects almost infinite in their detail, and pencilled with no less taste and precision.

Vente de l'œuvre décrite comme [[St. Michael -- This subject is well known to the curious, by the print engraved by Giacomo Frey, after the large picture in the church of the Capuchines, at Rome: its being of a different proportion, and the composition less extended, are evident proofs that it was done as a finished study for that at Rome.
