COLLECTION OF MR. ROGERS. 399
Poussin could be, when he chose, a poetical and effective
colourist. From the collection of Lord Radstock.
C. 1 ft. 9 in. by 2 ft. 8 in. (Smith’s Cat. 54.)
RAPHAEL (Sanzio, or Santi), b. 1483; d. 1520.
29 Christ on the Mount of Olives.—The Saviour, in
simple drapery, kneels, with his hands joined in suppli-
cation, and looks up to an angel, who presents the cup.
The three apostles are seen asleep in the foreground ; sky
and landscape in the background.
A little picture, in the early manner of Raphael, painted
when he was about two-and-twenty. It formed one com-
partment of the predella to the altar-piece, executed in
1505, for the Nuns of St. Antony, at Perugia. (See the
Lansdowne Catalogue, p. 307.) This compartment was
sold from the Orleans collection to Lord Elgin, for 42Z.,
and purchased from him by Mr. Rogers. The upper part
has been very much rubbed and painted over, and the exe-
cution of the rest is rather weak for Raphael; the sleeping
figures beautiful.
9 in. by 10 in. Engraved, of the same size, by Flipart, for the
Crozat Gallery; engraved, also, in the Orleans Gallery.
30 The Virgin and Child.—-The Virgin, seen half-length,
in a grey robe, with dark red sleeves and blue drapery,
a light veil falling from her head, supports the infant
Christ, standing ; one hand is round his waist, the other
sustains his left foot; his left hand rests on her neck;
landscape background. Most charming, for the sweet,
affectionate, serious expression of the Madonna, and the
infantine beauty of the Child.
Since 1721 in the Orleans Gallery, whence it was pur-
chased by G. Hibbert, Esq., for 500 guineas ; it was then
in the possession of Henry Hope, Esq., and at his sale, in
1816, purchased by Mr. Rogers.* 2 ft. 6 in by 2 ft.
By some attributed to Timoteo Viti d’Urbino.
* The original cartoon for this picture, in black chalk, was brought to
England in 1842, by Mr. D. Colnaghi, and sold by him for 10001. Under his
direction, an admirable fac-simile drawing on stone was previously made from it.
