400 COLLECTION OF MR. ROGERS.
SACCHI (Andrea), b. 1600; d. 1661. [A Roman by birth, ranks
amongst the first of the second-rate Italian masters.]
31 Christ bearing his Cross.—A small composition of
seven figures; the Saviour is sinking to the earth. St.
Veronica, attired in the ample white drapery in which the
painter excelled, and which he so frequently introduced, is
near the Saviour, with the miraculous impression of his
face upon her handkerchief. One of the capital pictures
of the master.* Arched top. 2 ft. 2| in. by 1 ft. 7 in.
Sold from the Orleans Gallery, to Henry Hope, Esq.,
for 150 guineas, and at the sale of his pictures, in 1816,
purchased by Mr. Rogers.
SALVATOR ROSA, b. 1615; d. 1673.
32 Jasoil—charming the Dragon which guarded the Golden
Fleece.
SARTO (Andrea del, Vannucchi), b. 1488 ; d. 1530.
[One can hardly say that Andrea del Sarto belonged to any school,
properly speaking. He studied under Pier di Cosimo, at Florence,
but adopted something from the style of Bartolomeo and Lionardo
da Vinci. See pp. 125 and 243.]
33 A fine Head of a young St. John.—Purchased out
of the Marescalchi Palace, at Bologna. Life size.
15 in. by 12 in.
TINTORETTO (Giacomo Robusti), b. 1512; d. 1594. Venetian S.
(See p. 127.)
34 The Miracle of St. Mark—who descends from
heaven to aid the martyred slave. According to the
* It seems to be a finished study for an altar-piece. Barry, in a note on this
picture, bears testimony to its great beauty, and adds, “ Andrea Sacchi’s prin-
ciples and views, in all the parts of the art, were most just and admirable ; and
there is nothing wrong or reprehensible in any part, but his not having pushed
them farther and with more vigour; and I cannot help letting loose an idea,
suggested to me by Sacchi’s works, and some others of that school, that the
style of the Roman school is a better substratum for perfection than the style
of any other, and that it would be wiser to work on that basement, and to
supply what is wanting in that school, than either on the Venetians’, Bolognese,
or Flemings’.” The idea here “ let loose,” and somewhat loosely expressed, is
worth catching and retaining.
