Landscapes.

Collection of the Marquess of Lansdowne, 1806. . . 510 gs.

380. A Landscape with Buildings. One of the most con-
spicuous of these is the church of the Santa Trinita del Monte,
where the artist was buried. The view also embraces a portion
of the Monte Cavallo, the Pope’s summer residence, and other
beautiful edifices. The fore-ground is rendered picturesque
by ruins, trees, and the introduction of appropriate figures.
Collection of Edward Coxe, Esq. . 1807 100 gs.

381. A View in Italy. This beautiful scene represents, on
the right, a mass of rocks of a broken and irregular shape,
surmounted by clusters of trees of varied foliage. A limpid
stream ssows round its base, which runs in gentle eddies
through the centre of the view: clumps of trees embellish the
fore-ground, and various buildings give interest to the more
distant landscape. This picture is stated to come from the
Gavotti Palace.
Collection of Andrew Wilson, Esq., (by Mr. Christie) 1807, 320 gs.

382. The Companion. A landscape divided by a river
which meanders through a valley and is lost among distant
hills. The fore-ground exhibits a verdant meadow watered by
a stream, over which is a bridge composed of a single arch,
the abutments of which are partly hidden by trees ; cattle
browse on the banks of the stream and in the adjacent
meadow. A small town is visible on the declivity of a hill
in the distance. The figures in both pictures are attributed
to the pencil of Bamboccio.
