392 COLLECTION OF MR. ROGERS.
3 The Good Samaritan.—Most admirable for character
as well as colour, and far more dignified in feeling than is
usual with Bassano.
In both these pictures the subjects are in harmony with
the painter’s particular turn of mind, and therefore ex-
cellent. 3 ft. 4 in. by 2 ft. 7 in.
4 The Nativity .—Treated in his usual homely, familiar
style, as a group of peasants. The animals, and the co-
louring, excellent.
BAROCCIO (Federigo), b. 1528 ; d. 1612.
[A painter who is sometimes very sweet in colour and elegant in
design; but generally he affected a rosy tint in his hues, and a flimsy
prettiness in his compositions, ill adapted to the large sacred sub-
jects he treated. Though he studied in the Roman school, he was
strongly influenced by Correggio and Parmigiano.]
5 A Holy Family—called the “ Madonna del Gatto.”
A repetition of the same subject now in the National Gal-
lery. 3 ft. 8-J in. by 3 ft.
CARRACCI (Ludovico), b. 1555 ; d. 1619. See p. 84.
6 The Virgin and Child, with Six Saints.—
A small and beautiful picture, a repetition of the same
subject which is in the collection of the Marquess of Lans-
downe, (No. 8,) and already described. It was brought
by Mr. Rogers from Bologna.*
CARRACCI (Annibal), b. 1560; d. 1609.
7 The Coronation of the Virgin—by the Father and
the Son. In the centre of the picture, the Holy Virgin,
with the Father and the Son on each side, seated on a
semicircular throne; a crowd of angels attending, some of
whom perform a heavenly concert, in the foreground;
while myriads of angelic spirits seem to float around, and
melt into the dazzling abyss of light behind.
* I have heard that Lord Lansdowne gave SOOL for his picture. Mr. Rogers,
who had long admired it, and at the sale had coveted it, found this little picture,
also a genuine original, hanging in the house of a nobleman at Bologna, and
purchased it for a sum not exceeding 30 guineas.
