LETTER XVIII.
Pictures belonging to the Marquis of Breadalbane — Lord Colborne's pic-
tures — Mr. H. Danby Seymour's pictures — Mr. Neeld's collection:
Italian, French, German, Netherlandish schools — Mr. Vivian's pic-
tures — Earl of Charlemont's pictures — Pictures by Greuze, belonging
to Mr. Mills — Col. Rawdon's pictures — Lady Garvagh's Raphael —■
Lord Hatherton's Hobbema — Hon. Mr. Ashburnham's Andrea del Sarto
— Mr. Bevan's collection — The late Mr. Heusch's collection : Dutch
school — Mr. Young's pictures — Sir Charles Coote's pictures — Spanish
pictures belonging to G. A. Hoskins, Esq. — Mr. Mackinnon's pictures —
Mr. Morrison's pictures — Pictures belonging to Sir Charles Eastlake —
Collection belonging to Miss Rogers.
PICTURES BELONGING TO THE MARQUIS OF BREADALBANE.
This nobleman, who pre-eminently possesses those open and hearty
manners so attractive to the Germans in the Scotch character, re-
ceived me in the kindest way, and accompanied me in the exami-
nation of the pictures dispersed in his various rooms, of which the
following appeared to me particularly worthy of note.
Sebastian del Piombo.—Male portrait of the master's later
period, the pictures belonging to which have much darkened. The
work is also much obscured by restorations.
Venus and two Amorini, purchased from the Stowe collection as
a Titian, but in my opinion a good picture by Paul Veronese.
Herri de Bles.—Adam and Eve in a landscape, a careful work
by this master, here erroneously ascribed to an Italian painter.
Rubens.—A repetition of his well-known landscape with the
rainbow in the Pitti Palace at Florence, but without the rainbow
here. The heavy tone of the figures, however, leads me to attri-
bute them to some scholar of Rubens, while the landscape is pro-
bably by Van Uden.
Vandyck.—Portrait of a well-known individual whose name
has escaped me, from the Stowe collection ; a carefully-executed
work in a delicate tone.
Nicolas Maas.—An admirable picture of his warm luminous
tone.
Wouvermans.—Two pictures which appeared to be genuine,
but belonging to his dark and less attractive works.
