| N° 32. | (Saloon.) A Concert containing three portraits. |
This master-piece is worthy of TITIAN.
GUERCINO.
| N° 33. | (Saloon.) St. Petronilla. |
This large picture was executed for St. Peter's church in the Vatican, where it was replaced by a copy in Mosaic, on being removed to the pontificate palace of Monte Cavallo, at Rome.
In the great Gallery are exhibited no less than twenty-three pictures by GUERCINO: but to speak the truth, though, in looking at some of his productions, he appears an extremely agreeable painter, as soon as you see a number of them, you can no longer bear him. This is what happens to mannerists. The dark shades at first astonish you, afterwards they disgust you.
ANDREA SACCHI.
| N° 65. | (Saloon.) St. Remuald. |
This picture was always one of the most esteemed of those in the churches at Rome. It was the altar-piece of the church of St. Remuald in that city.
