  • 1830.10.28/ maison de ventes : Foster (Edward). Vente de l'œuvre décrite comme [[The Deposition of the Cross; this picture may be deservedly classed among the grandest productions of human art. If we consider it collectively, or examine it in detail, the mind is alike satisfied and astonished. The line of anatomy is as striking as the colouring is spendid. The scene of action represents the Fulfilling of the Prophecies of the Old Law. The torture of a slow and lingering death is strongly depicted on the countenance of the dying Jesus. The figure and attitude of the Mother of Jesus approximate to the sublime, she appears absorbed in an agony of grief, and the tears are fast trickling down her cheek: her hands are uplifted in maternal agitation at witnessing a sight so fraught with horror. The figure in the foreground is equal to the most powerful imaginations of Michael Angelo. The veins of the arms are swollen, and the muscles show extreme extension, by the exertion of assisting the depositing the foot of the Cross into the cavity dug to receive it.
