DUKE D'AUMALE'S COLLECTION.
Letter IV.
Guido Rent.—"La Madonna della Pace." This is the title,
of a picture representing the Madonna enthroned, with the Child
in the act of benediction in her lap, and angels around. The
composition is well balanced, the heads very pretty, the colouring
bright, warm, and clear, and the execution careful.
Lionello Spada.—Christ with two guards, one of whom is
pressing the crown of thorns on to his head. This picture is
remarkable for good drawing, animated motives, powerful colour-
ing, and broad and marrowy painting.
Sassofeeeato.—The Virgin and Child, with Joseph adoring.
A composition differing from his usual type, noble and refined in
the heads, and conscientious in carrying out.
Salvatoe Rosa.—The collection of the Prince of Salerno was
very rich in this master. I select the most important. 1. Daniel
in the Lions' Den. 2. His deliverance from the same. These
two pictures show in a high degree the wild and poetic feeling of
the painter, and have an extraordinary power of effect. 3. A
rocky landscape with St. Jerome. 4. The companion to the last
—a similar composition with a monk praying. These are grand
in treatment, and the last of especial clearness.
spanish school.
Mueillo.—St. Joseph dressed in white, with the infant Christ,
also in a white garment. An attractive little picture of clear
effect.
netheelandish school.
The Entombment. A picture by a Netherlandish artist of the
16th century, in imitation of the Italian school. The motives
more original than pleasing, and the outlines somewhat hard. The
head of the fainting Virgin is however very noble, and the execu-
tion careful. This picture was here erroneously ascribed to Daniel
da Volterra.
Geehaed Honthoest.—Christ with the Disciples at Emmaus
by candle-light. He has taken advantage of the opportunity to
produce a striking effect.
Vandyck.—1. Portrait of the Count de Berg. Differently con-
ceived to the picture in Windsor. Very animated, and almost
Titianesque in glow and clearness of colouring.
