SUBJECTS or FAINTINOS. ARTISTS, 1. David holding the Head of Goliath, Pierre Puget* This Artist, bom at Marseilles in 1633, was a painter, sculptor and architect. Judges place him among the greatest sculptors ; his i>aintings as well as his drawings of marine scenery are much admired. His style of design and colouring is said to have re^* sembled the manner of Buonarotti. He was a pupil of Pietro da Cortona, who associated him to the works he executed in the Palace Pitti at Florence. This much admired painting lias been sent to this country by the^everend Abb6 Desjardins of the Seminary of foreign Missions ' in Paris, a man of much taste and discrimination, who liad resided some years in Canada at the time of the old French revolution. On his return to France, wishing to testify his gratitude for the hospitality he had received, bv torwaiding old paintings for the churches of this country as well as to some of his friends he col- lected a number of works of the most esteemed masters which then were offered for sale by families of the emigrating nobility. Many of these pieces were ultimately acquired by Mr. LIgare who has carefully preserved these precious relics of art. Thoa is explained the presence in Canada of paintings which European travellers are much astonished to find here. All the paintings in-' eluded between nos. 1 and 33 belonged to that rare collection. 2. Martyrdom of Saint Catherine on the wheel, Frangois Chauveau, An Artist of celebrity, bom at Paris in 1613. He worked as an engraver with surprising facility. Some of his paintings were much admired and manv of them purchased by Le Brun. His children used to read to him after supper the passages of history he intended to draw, and seizing the most striking parts of the subject, he traced the design of it on the plate of copper with the Kint of his graver, and it was ready for etching next day whilst was occnpied in engniying or drawing something els^. NO. StnJECTS OF PAINTING<). AIlTISTa. Arnold Mi/tens, Anthany Coypel. 3. St. Peter denying Christ. 4. Christ crowned with thorns, 5. Head of a Virgin. 6. Christ's Nativity, - - - This Artist, bom in Paris in 1661, was a pupil of his father in Rome where he studied the works of the greatest masters and acgiiired an elevated, just and inli^htened style. His deep eru- dition allowed him to introduce in his compositions wit and genius sustained by an animated colouring and a lively, pathetic or graceful expression. 7. Moses, - - - - Giovanni Lanfranco* Lanfranio was a pupil of both Carracci with whom he worked in the church of St. Vago and the Famesean Palace, and for many . pieces there it is doubSiil whether they are his work or that of his masters. His genius led him to grand compositions. He is • particularly celebrated for his performances in the Cupola of St. Andrea della Valle where are figures of 20 feet in height which have a noble eflect. 8. Landscape (a sea port), - - Jos, Vernet, Celebrated for his marine compositions and landscapes com- posed from views in Italy. He gave to his paintings the charm of nature and they are much admired for the fluidity of the water, and the spirit of the figures. His reputation induced the King of France, Louis XV, to appoint him his marina painter. As a proof in what estimation Vemet was held, it may be mentioned that two of his pictures, now in the Luxembourg Gallery, were pur- chased by Madame Du Barrj- for 50,000 livres. 9. Ellas throwing his mantle to Elisha, Albert Van Ouwater, This Artist, born at Haerlem in 1444, painted in a grand style, principally in oil. He had a free and masterly maimer of handling with a good expression and a natural and lively tint of colouring. He was particularly exact in the extremities of his figures and m the disposition of his draperies ; and wherever he introduced landscape in his designs, it was accounted to be in a style superior to any of his contemporaries. 10. God the Father surrounded by Angels, N.Pottssin. 11. Roman Antiquities, - - Hubert Robert * This Painter was bom at Paris in 1752. After learning the elements of his art in his native countrj', he went to Italy where he resided severel years, chiefly devotini- himself to the study of tiie remains of antiquity. The present painting was painted by him when at Rome ; he' introduced in it the most admired ruins of that city for a study and a souvenir. On his return to France, he was eiet^ed member of the Parisian Academy* when he painted ior his reception a noble picture of the Pantheon at Rome, NO. SUBJECTS OF PAINTlNOfl. ARTISTS. 12. The School of Athens painted, after Raphael, by Paul Pontius Antoine Robert, 13. Purification of the Virgin Mary in the Temple, Domenico Feti, The paintiiiffs of this Artist are much esteemed by amateurs. He gave much expression to his figures, and had a vigorous co- louring and spirited touch. 14. Presentation of the Virgin Mary in the Temple, by the same. 16. The Holy Family, - • Jacques Jordaens, This celebrated Artist, bora at Antwerp in 1594, was much liked and favoured by Rubens who gave him work. He had a . great understanding of the chiaro oscuro ; he equalled if he did not surpass Bubensoy the vigor of his colouring ; his expression is strong and true, and for a Tree and spirited touch hardly any painter can be accounted his superior. 16. Judith and the He&d of Holofemes. 17. St. Bartholomew. 18. St. Peter healing a sick man. 19. Do. raising a dead woman, Jean Jouvenet, Thsi Artist went to Paris at, the age of seventeen and thought he must have no other master but nature. He is one rf the hrst of the French school.

His style wr i more adapted to severe scriptural subjects than to the graceful grouping of feminine figures. 20. The Daugthers of Jethro, Giovanni Francisco Bmnanelli, The was the best pupil of Pietro di Cortona and his design was even more correct. He was elected prince of the Soman Aca- demy of St. Luke, and afterwards called to France where Louid XIV made him paint several extensive works. He composed with great lacility, drew correctly and gave much grace to his heads. 21. The Infant Jesus in his cradle. 22.

St. Jerome, - - - - Claude Vignon, This Artist, born at Tours, died at a very old age in 1670. He imitated the maimer of Michel Angelo Caravoggio. The facility with which he invented and painted liis subjects gave him much occupation. He painted at a first stroke and disposed his tints without having to soften them with his pencil, so that his works are easily ascertained. He was an eminent judge of old paint- ings. 34. Daniel Van Heil and his mistress, painted by Van Heil, This eminent Painter is much esteemed for his landscapes in which he introduced beautiful figures ; he had a light touch, a natural colouring and possessed a perfect knowledge of chiaro- oscuro. This picture was imported into tbisdbuntry by Mr. Reiffenstein who was often travelling to Europe on busmess and whom Mr. Legare had advised to buy good painlingf even if he had to pur- MO.

Landscape (old mill and niins), Gaspctrd JPaussin, That Artist had not his equal in Rome for landscape painting.
