COLLECTION OF MR. ROGERS.
10 A large Landscape.—A rich architectural portico of
a palace, on the sea-shore, with a party of ladies and cava-
liers, playing at cards. Beyond, the sea, with hilly shore,
and a castle to the left. From the Orleans collection. It
is mentioned with some doubt, but great praise, by Barry,
as being quite worthy of Claude. (Vide Barry’s Works,
vol. ii. p. 137.)
CORREGGIO (Antonio Allegri).
11 There is a Riposo here, by some attributed to Correggio,
by others, to Francesco Rondani, a scholar of Correggio,
who assisted him in the frescoes of the Duomo, at Parma.
Some parts of the foliage and drapery are so fine, that it
is the more difficult to account for the barbarous drawing.
From the Orleans Gallery. Richardson mentions it as
celebrated, but doubtful. P. 16| in. by 13 in.
CREDI (Lorenzo di, Sciarpellino), b. 1453 ; d. about 1532.
[Studied with Lionardo da Vinci, in the school of Andrew Veroc-
chio, and imitated Lionardo and Perugino. His original subjects are
limited to Madonnas and Holy Families, which he painted with in-
finite feeling and grace. The most important picture of his which I
have seen, is the Virgin, with St. Julian and St. Nicholas, in the
Louvre, (No. 938,) which is admirable for devout feeling in the
heads, and for softness and richness of colour.]
12 The Holy Virgin crowned by the Redeemer.—
A small altar-piece. The principal group is represented
in a glory above; below, in a landscape, are seen four
saints—St. Nicholas and St. Barbara to the right, and St.
Julian and St. Ursula to the left. On a little predella
beneath is represented, in the centre, Christ rising from
the sepulchre, on the left St. Francis, and on the right St.
Anthony; the figures being much less than those in the
upper compartment. As a devotional subject, the whole
composition most beautiful and majestic, and the heads
full of expression, and painted with exceeding delicacy.
The figure of St. Julian nearly resembles that in the large
picture in the Louvre. P. 3 ft. by 17 in.
