THE SUTHERLAND GALLERY. 197
of eleven half-length figures; in colour, approaching
Titian.
3 ft. in. by 7 ft. 9 in. S. G.
POUSSIN (Niccold), b. 1594; d. 1665. [This admirable painter of
classical and historical subjects has already been characterized,
p. 114.]
73 Bacchanal.—A Bacchante pointing to a Satyr, for
whom a boy is pouring wine; a picture of Poussin’s earlier
period, coloured with more warmth and richness than is
usual with him; and all the forms, as is usual, most care-
fully and elegantly designed. 1 ft. 6 in. by 2 ft. about.
74 A Holy Family .—Five figures, with massive architec-
tural background. C. 2 ft. 2 in. by 3 ft. 2 in.
POUSSIN (Gaspar), b. 1613 ; d. 1675. [The scholar of Niccold
Poussin, but altogether original, and, next to Claude, the most en-
chanting of those landscape painters who flourished cotemporaneously
in the seventeenth century—the golden age of landscape.]
75 A Landscape.—In the middle distance a castle on a
mountain; beyond, an open country stretching to the ho-
rizon; in the foreground, figures and cattle.
RAPHAEL, b. 1483; d. 1520. (See p. 113.)
76 Christ bearing his Cross.■—Small full-length figure,
seen against a sky back ground, between two pilasters
adorned with arabesques. “ Said to have been brought
from a private chapel of the Pope, in the Ricciardi Palace
at Florence.”*
Copies after Raphael.
77 The Madonna della Sedia.—A very good old copy
from the famous original picture in the Pitti Palace at Flo-
rence.
78 The Madonna del Cardellino.—Copy from the ori-
ginal, now in the Florence gallery.
* The figure is the same as in “ The Procession to Calvary,” now in the pos-
session of Peter Miles, Esq., of Leigh Court, which formed one of the compart-
ments of the predella to the altar-piece, painted by Raphael, for the convent of
St. Antony, at Perugia, in 1504, and now at Blenheim.
