LORD YARBOEOUGH'S COLLECTION.
Letter II.
old and fine work, but somewhat heavy in the colouring. I am
inclined to consider this the work of Salaino.
Paul Veronese.—Christ driving the Money-changers from the
Temple. The conception is very dramatic, though not free from
undignified motives. The colouring is clear and warm.
DRAWING-BOOM.
Jacob Jordaens.—Three Flemish musicians. This so often
vulgar master is here quite in his element. The humour is as
genuine as it is delightful; the colour of the greatest power and
transparency; and the execution in a solid impasto, and altogether
masterly.
Gaspar Poussin.—2. Landscape, with rising ground in the
middle distance, crowned with a castle; in the foreground two
figures resting. In poetry of conception and feeling for lines a
picture of the first quality.
3. The companion to.the above, and but little inferior to it.
Vandyck.—The sketch for a Crucifixion. The painter has here
not advanced beyond the most general idea, so that the heads
are only very undecidedly given. Composition and treatment are
spirited.
Van der Helst.—Portraits of a Dutch family. In truth of
nature, kindliness of feeling, warmth of colouring, and delicacy of
carrying out, this is a real gem of art, and recalls the beautiful
picture in the Louvre, No. 197.
Turner.—1. A very large landscape, with the commencement
of the vintage of Macon. In the foreground are figures dancing
and occupied with the vintage. Inscribed 1803. In the highest
style of landscape, recalling both Claude and Poussin, and at the
same time solidly and carefully carried out.
2. Wreck of the Minotaur, a transport-ship, upon the Haak
Sands. Dated 1810. Although at the period of my visit in 1854
this picture was not in its place, being at that time in the hands of
the engraver, yet I had it fully before my memory as another
master-work of the same rank as the foregoing, showing affinity to
the great Dutch sea-painters, and namely to William van de Velde.
the HALL.
The arrangement of sculpture in this space gives it a very
stately appearance. Portrait busts by Nollekens here display
