CHATSWORTH.
Letter XXX.
spiritedly thrown on the paper. A recumbent figure in the fore-
ground, another in the background. Chalk drawing.
Titian.—His own portrait; a small, but very finished drawing,
which, however, hangs too high.
A landscape with water, in which a horse is introduced, and
another with a herdsman and drove of pigs, are poetical in concep-
tion, and very spiritedly drawn with the pen.
An ecclesiastic giving a mitre to another ecclesiastic; a rich
composition, of excellent motives and heads, and of masterly exe-
cution in black chalk.
Christ with the Woman of Samaria, a fine pen-drawing, here
called a Giulio Romano, I consider to be of the early period of
Titian.
Giulio Campagnola.—This master displays far more origin-
ality and significance in the various drawings by him here than
in the pictures by him known to me. In one of them especially
he shows a feeling for lines and a grace unusual to the masters
of the Venetian school. Passavant also remarks that some draw-
ings of children playing recall Raphael. It is true they are incom-
parably less refined, both in form and treatment.
Girolamo Muziano.—Landscape, with St. Jerome : allied to
Titian in style of composition, but far less spirited in treatment.
Paul Veronese.—An historical event with which I am un-
acquainted, with a Pope and a Doge as chief personages; a sin-
gularly rich composition, of masterly execution in Indian ink and
white, on green paper.
Bolognese School.
Agostino Carracci.—Drawing for his best-known picture,
the Communion of St. Jerome, in the Gallery at Bologna. Of
deep and noble feeling in the heads, with every part well under-
stood, and of masterly drawing in Indian ink, heightened with
white, on green paper.
Annibale Carracci.—Drawing for the picture of the Assump-
tion of the Virgin in the Dresden Gallery. Of exaggerated dra-
matic action, but of great effect. Admirably drawn with pen,
bistre, and white.
Some very spirited landscapes, especially one with the Flight
into Egypt, another with a party resting, and one with a sleeping
Cupid, called Breughel.
Guido Reni.—Drawing for the beautiful picture of Bacchus
