CHAELTON PAEK.
Letter XXV.
Claude Lorraine.—1 and 2. Two very pleasing small land-
scapes of his somewhat later time. The evening light is very refined.
Gaspar Poussin.—1 and 2. Two small landscapes from the
Colonna Palace. All the master's peculiar poetry of feeling is
seen in these pictures.
Domeniciiino.—1. The widow of Cosmo II., Grand Duke of
Tuscany, by birth an archduchess of Austria, whole-length figure,
the size of life, with a little dog. Portraits of this kind by
Domenichino are extremely rare : the conception is animated,
the execution careful.
Daniel da Volterra.—Christ lamented by his disciples, a
very dramatic composition of six figures. Inscribed with the Bar-
berini arms.
Murillo.—1 and 2. The Ascension and the Coronation of
the Virgin, two spirited and pretty careful sketches for a rich and
beautiful composition.
William Van de Velde.—A quiet sea, of singular delicacy
and transparency. Formerly in the collection of the Duke de
Choiseul.
Van der Heyden.—A pretty architectural piece, with figures
by Adrian Van de Velde but now defaced by broad and dark
cracks.
Franqois Milet.—A fine hilly landscape in the taste of his
great model, Gaspar Poussin.
Holbein.—Catherine Howard, Queen of Henry VIII. It ap-
pears too heavy and gloomy in tone for him,
Cornelius Jansen.—1 and 2. Charles I. and Lord Aylesbury.
Two pictures the size of life, which in animation of conception,
clearness of colouring, and carefulness of execution, belong to his
best pictures.
Annibale Carracci.—2. A male portrait, energetically con-
ceived and of masterly painting.
Gaspar Poussin.—3. A landscape with the Temple of the
Sibyl at Tivoli, and the Flight into Egypt in the foreground. Of
singular freshness and transparency, and most careful execution.
Paul Brill.—A large and very poetic landscape of his latest
and best time.
Go do Beni.—The Adoration of the Shepherds. A small and
delicate picture of unusual warmth, approaching very near the pic-
ture of that composition in the Grosvenor Gallery.
