7. A Magdalen, of fine form and great beauty, having long
ssowing hair, and a fair complexion ; she wears a blue mantle
round the loins, and is recumbent on a bank, with her right

8. The Crucifixion. The awful event is here represented
as accomplished; the crucified Saviour has given up the
ghost, and bowed his head on his breast; every spectator
has departed, and the friends only of the deceased remain,—•
these consist of the bereaved Virgin, who is seated at the
foot of the cross in deep affliction ; the affectionate Magda-
len on her knees by her side, convulsively clasping her
hands ; two other of the Maries, and the beloved disciple
John, who stands by weeping. In accordance with the
subject, the heavens are overcast, and a deep gloom prevails.

9. The Resurrection of our Lord. This fine picture re-
presents the moment when an angel has descended with out-
spread wings, and is removing the stone from the entrance of
the sepulchre ; and the Saviour is seen soaring aloft with
both hands extended: at the same instant the terrified
guards are thrown into confusion,—two of them have fallen
on the ground, and a third, covering his face with his hands,
is endeavouring to escape; two others are petrified with
fright. Description, No. 21, Vol. iv. improved.
