Another circumflance to be obferved, i$ 

 the furprifmg fmallnefs of the farms which 

 compole this gentleman's ellate : Upon 

 fixteen thoufand pounds a year, around 



Parmegiano. Female faint, prodigioufly fine. 

 Aug. Carrache. Pan overcome by Cupid. 

 Rubens. Nymphs in this mafter's ftile; not 



tempting ones. 

 Correggio. Virgin and Childy a Iketch for his 



famous Notte. The attitude elegant, 



and the colours fine. 

 Pajfara. Clorinda wounded by Taticred ; from 



'TaJJo. Great expreffion, but the tints as 



rough as Bajfan's. 

 Bartolomeo. lo changed into a heifer ; the figures 



by Pokmburg. 

 Rubens. Day of judgment. An odious fubje£t 



for painting; but highly finifhed in 



varnifh. The better fuch works are done, 



the more they dilguil. 

 Salvator Rofa. Two landfcapes. Not in his 



ufual manner. 

 Carlo Cignani. Madona and Child ; fine. 



On the other fide -, an anti-room, 24 by 20 :

In the ciofet; 

 Rembrandt. A Dutch merchant ; fine. 

 Bajfan. Mechanicks. 



Upon the whole, this colleftion, though not 

 very numerous, is extremely capital •, the indif- 

 ferent pidures are few, the fine ones admirable •, 

 fome of them fufficiently great, to awaken in the 

 beholder the moll rapturous delight. Titiafi, 



Leonardo
