  • 1807.04.10/ maison de ventes : Christie's. Vente de l'œuvre décrite comme [[Temptation of Adam, by Eve. The poem which follows has been omitted "After long choosing, and beginning late," Barry, prepared for the undertaking by sedulous studies after the Greek marbles, the great labours in the Vatican, and in the best repositories of the Arts, at Rome, settled the doubts long fluctuating in his active mind, whether to select his subject from Homer, or from Milton: 'twas decided in favour of the latter! and the temptation of Adam by Eve was committed to the canvas; from whence, it issued with a purity of form, combined with Attic perception, that gained universal eclat among the cognoscenti of all nations (where the fame of Paradise Lost had attracted no less attention, than the Iliad); but it was particularly spoken of by the French; undoubtedly at that time (with a very few exceptions) the best artists at Rome, who were fast regenerating, from fluttering, and frothy compositions; or what is still more base, insipid mediocrity of design, which they had been accidentally thrown into from the nature of their debilitating Establishment, and the frivolous usages of a voluptuous city. From Rome this picture was consigned to the care of the late Edmund Burke, for exhibition in this Metropolis, where it obtained the highest encomiums from the first of our British artists, and of all intelligent judges in works of Virtú: it not only met admirers, but competitors for purchase: But it was set aside, with others, merely from the singularity of this unique Artist.
