THE GROSVENOR GALLERY.
249
25 Landscape.—The Riposo. The Virgin seated on a
bank with the infant Saviour in her arms; Joseph by her
side, reading in a book; two palm trees on the left. The
whole scene breathing retirement and peace. Claude has
frequently introduced this beautiful sacred pastoral into his
landscapes, which are in spirit well suited to the subject.
Copper. Ilin, by 13 in. Small octagon. (Smith's Cat. 313.)
26 Landscape—Morning.—In the foreground a shep-
herd meditating, while his flocks are feeding near. A
broad river, crossed by a bridge of eight arches, in the
distance. Undulating hills bound the view beyond. Agar
collection. C. 1 ft 7J in. by 2 ft 2| in. (Smith’s Cat 314.)
27 Landscape.—A road winding upwards from the fore-
ground, leads to a building on a wooded eminence. In
front a figure is crossing the landscape, carrying a burthen
on his head; to the left a man driving two goats. A river
in the middle distance, on which is a boat.
C. 2 ft. in. by 3 ft. 2 in. Agar collection.
COELLO (Claudio), d. old at Madrid, 1693. [A Spanish painter,
who in his best pictures resembles the grand gorgeous manner of
Paul Veronese. The picture here may probably be his; it certainly
is not by Morales, to whom it was once most ignorantly attributed,
and whose style, simple, spiritual, and melancholy, was the reverse of
that of Coello. He executed many pictures for the court of Spain,
but when Luca Giordano was sent for from Italy to paint in the
Escurial, he was seized with a melancholy and jealousy which short-
ened his life.*]
28 St. Veronica f—Life size, three-quarters. She holds
in her hands the linen cloth or kerchief with which she
wiped the bleeding brow of the Saviour, when sinking
* This Coello, who was a favourite of Charles II. of Spain, must not be con-
founded with Alonzo Coello, the favourite of Philip II., who died a hundred
years before him.
t According to the legend, St. Veronica was a noble lady of no very chaste
reputation, who was among the spectators when the Saviour was led to Cal-
vary. Inspired by veneration and pity, she became a penitent and a convert,
and suffered martyrdom.
