sternation press around him : one of them has laid his hand
on his shoulder to awaken him; another, with extended arms,
is appealing for his protection; and a third is on his knees
entreating it; four more are in the group, and the rest, five in
number, are occupied at the head of the vessel, the whole of
which is enveloped in water and spray. Dark rolling clouds
cover a large portion of the hemisphere, and cast a dense
gloom over the turbulent ocean, the sombre hue of which is
relieved by a burst of light falling on the reeling vessel. By
the date on the rudder of the ship, 1633, it appears that this
picture was the produce of his early years, he being at the
time he painted it only twenty-seven years of age ; as a work
of art, it may justly be styled a noble earnest of his future
greatness. Engraved by J. Fittler, and etched by Exshaw. It
was sold, much disguised by dirt, in the collection of M. de
Heer Braamcamp, at Amsterdam, in 1771, for 4300/o., 392Z.
5 ft. 3 in. by 4 ft. in.—C.
Exhibited in the British Gallery in 1818, and in 1835.

83. Christ raising Lazarus from the Dead. A picture so
described, and denominated capital, was sold in a sale at
Amsterdam, in 1727, for 1059b
84. Christ driving the Money Changers out of the Temple.
Engraved by S. Savry, and described from the print.
85. Nicodemus visiting Christ by Night. In this composi-
tion, the Saviour is seen in a profile view, sitting on the right,
apparently addressing his visitor, who sits in front of him,
listening with profound attention. Dated 1632. Engraved
in mezzotinto by Greenwood.
