THE HAMILTON COLLECTION.
Guineas
57. V. Dyck.—Sketch on pane], for his large picture
of the Crucifixion at Antwerp, and certainly a
more masterly performance does not exist. It was
forty years ago in the collection of Sir Joshua
Reynolds. Gordon 29
58. Murillo.—The Infant Christ, with a Cross in his
left hand. This is a charming and most masterly
picture. Fowler 33
59. Diego Velasquez.—Portrait of a Moorish Slave,
that was in his service, and became a great painter.
This masterly portrait came from the celebrated
Baranello collection at Naples. Parkes 39
60. Vandyck.— The Martyrdom of St. Sebastian, shot
to death with arrows, and two Angels grieving and
assisting him. This is, perhaps, one of the best
historical pictures he ever painted; the drawing is
excellent, and the back ground is managed with
wonderful art: it was probably painted soon after
his return from Venice, when his mind was full of
the ideas of the Venetian and Lombard schools 140
61. Solimeni.—Sleeping Girl, two Cupids flying over
her, and drawing up a curtain, in order to let her
feel the influence of the flame on the Altar of Love,
of which she appeared to be already sensible. This
has always been esteemed one of the most agreeable
pictures of that master, who amassed by his pro-
fession at Naples an immense fortune.
Broad head 50
Q2. Andrea Vaccari.—St. Francis, Half Figure, with
a Skull and Book. This picture is finely drawn, and
excellent in the colouring;- Andrea was one of the
best of the Neapolitan school; but unfortunately
for him, his merit was not properly noticed during
