The Bromley Collection of Ancient Pictures.

CONCLUDING DAYS SALE.

The second day's sale went off with increased
eclat, many of the finest pictures being secured for
the nation. The following were the leading ex-

ampies
129. Sir Antonio More—" La Belle Isabella, daughter of
Henryll. of Spain," richly attired (not Queen Mary of Eng-
land, as erroneously printed in catalogue), from the Fesch
collection. A magnificent porli•ait—=l4o guineas (Farrel).
144. Palma Veccnio—" Divine and Heathen Love." in a
splendid landscape. From the collection of King Louis
Philippe. Purchased by Baron Taylor from the Count
D'Aguilar. See JP angen, supp. p, 168. A very superb
example-420 guineas (Seymour).
145. Richard Wilson, R.A.—A landscape, with lake and
ruins, and figures. Exhibited at the British Institution in
1851. A splendid example, and the only work of this class
by an English master in the Bromley Collection-295
guineas (Holloway).
148 Giotto-1276, 1366—" The Coronation of the Vir-
gin ;" two angels kneeling at each side ; above is the
Deity, with the symbol of eternity. A grand example of
this rare master. " This work agreed in every respect with
Giotto's well-known picture in Santa Croce, Florence."—
Waagen, vol. iii., page 371. From Cardinal Fesch's col-
lection. Exhibited at Manchester in 1857-195 guineas
(G. Parry,)
151. Lo Spagna—" The Crucifixion," with many figures.
This magnificent picture came from Spoleto, where the
artist latterly painted, end it has much of the influence of
his master, Perugino. At the back of the picture is printed
Diario, or order for ceremonies, by the Archbishop of Spo-
leto. From Cardinal Fesch's collection-340 guineas (Sey-

mour).
154. Andrea del Sarto—" Portrait of Sannazzaro, contem-
plating a skull." Upon this magnificent portrait is inscribed
" Tengo la morte in piano pucka it morire con carat; e
l'a2nore a it inio"-275 guineas (Holloway).
155.—Bartolomeo Suardo Bramontino)—"The Adora-
tion of the Kings," in a splendid landscape. The name given
to this fine gallery picture in Cardinal Fesch's catalogue is
here retained, but there are no works of this rare master re-
maining with which to compare it. It has characteristics
of the early school of Piedmont. It is known that Gaudonzo
Ferrari, before he saw Raffaelle, painted with highly relieved
ornaments, as we find in Pmturicchio and other artists of
the time. (See IF aagen, vol. iii.)-121 guineas (Sir Chas.
Eastlake, for the National Gallery). .

157. Marco Palmezzano Da Forli—"TheVirginEnthroned
holding the Child," who stands on her lap, in the act o
blessing ; on the right, St. John the Baptist ; on the left, St.
Lucia. Mantegna's influence shows itself in Bt, John and
in the chiaroscuro frier'. Inscribed " Marcus Palmezzanus
Victor Foroleniensis, 1508." This grand gallery picture is
in the artist's first and best manner, before he followed the
Venetian School in his old age. From Cardinal Fesch's
collection. See Waagen, vol. iii., and Bryant—" Palmez-
zano"-320 guineas (Mulvaney, for the Dublin National
Gallery).
159. Antonio Botraffio—" The Virgin and Child." '1 he
Virgin is attired in a green dress, with crimson boddice,
teated, and offering her bosom to the infant Saviour, who
turns towards the spectator. "A most beautiful picture of
this rare master, quite imbued with the spirit of his master,
Leonardo da Vinci," Waagen vol. iii., 201. From Lord
Northwick's collection, where it was stated to be by Ver-
rochio. Mr. Bromley gave 230 guineas for it (lot 576). It
now fetched 440 guineas (Sir Chas.Eastlake for the National
Gallery).
162, Girolaino Cotignola—A grand altar piece, the Ascen-
sion of the Virgin. Above is the Deity, in the centre the
Virgin, and beneath are the portraits of Costanza Sforza,
second Prince of Pesaro, his mother, and St. Catherine.
On the wheel is signed " Jeronimus Cotignol," and
below " Junipera Sfortia a marito recepta ex veto P.
MCCCCOVIII." On either side are a bishop and St.
Girolatuo. Dr. Waagen says, " This date, and the whole
style of this remarkable picture, show that the master exe-
cuted it before he went to Rome, where he became a scholar
of Raffaelle," vol. iii. 379. Described at large by Lanzi
From Mr. Solly's collection—lo 4 guineas (Lord Ash-
burton).
163-4. Bernardino-Pinturicchic—" The Trojan Horse
brought into the City," which is here represented by
Florence. Painted at the time when the artist and Raf-
faelle were fellow students. Also the companion picture,
" The Death of Rector," from the Palazzo Albizzi. This
and the foregoing Cassette agree in form and treatment
with the two well-known Caseone by Pinturicchio, in the
Borghesi Palace. From Mr. Woodburn's collection-11G
guineas (Colnaghi).
165. Fllippino Lippi—Portrait of La Simonetta, in a
crimson and white dress, with pearls and a veil. The arms
of the Sodenni family are emblazoned on the backgrousd.
Dr. Waagen attributes this magnificent portrait to A. Pol-
lajuolo, but It is generally considered that the treatment
agrees entirely with that of Filippino Lippi ; from Mr.
Rogers's celebrated collection, where it was stated to be by
Verrochio; cabinet size-460 guineas (Barker).
166. Sandro The Virgin and Child," sur-
rounded by four angels--circle--a superb example ; from
Mr. Solly's collection, exhibited at the British Institution
in 1859. See Waagen, vol, EL-230 guineas (Martin).
169. Leoaardi Da Vinci—" The Virgin and Child," the
Virgin attired in a blue dress, kneeling, supports the infant
Saviour, who stelas on a red cushion, and ho;ds a bird in
his hand. Through the pillars of the building a distant
Life trf
landscape is seen. Dr. Waagen says:—" This picture, as-
cribed to Ghirlandttio, may, I am convinced, be by Letneurt.do,
previous to his going to Milan." M. Rio in his L
Leonardo says—" II y a d'abord cello de Lord Northwick,
dans laquelle ou n'hesite pas a reconnaitre un ouvrage de la
premiere maniere de Leonardo," p. 28. In the standing
child may be seen a resemblance to Verrochio, the master
of Leonardo. This extraordinary picture was purchased by
Mr. Bromley, at Lord Northwick's sale, for 15 guineas; it
now fetched 140 guineas (Hebeler).
170. Sandro Botticelli—" Venus ;" Whole-length figure
Another splendid example, the pendant to the one previ-
ously sold (lot 80). Purchased by Mr. Bromley at Florence
in 1844. See Waagen, Sapp., p. 160--100 guineas (Lord
Ashburton).
172,—Pesello Peselli, 1330-1457--" The Holy Trinity,"
a magnificent picture, perfectly unique. "The centre pic-
ture of the still existing masterpiece of this admirable and
little-known master which, according to Vasari, the great
painter executed for the church of St. Jacopo, in Pistoia."
---iVaagen, vol. iii., Vasari's Life of Pesello. This glorious
work was secured for the National Gallery, at the price of
2,000 guineas, by Sir Charles Eastlake. Loud applause fol-
lowed the adjudication.
173. Giotti—" Our Saviour receiving the soul of the Vir'
gin," who is lying on a couch in the centre of the picture,
surrounded by the Saviour, St. Joseph, St. John, and at-
tendant saints and angels. This great masterpiece of Giotto
is thus described by Vasari :—" Una tavolina dipinta da
Giotto a tempera, con inflnita diligenza, dentro la quale era
la morte di nostra Donna, con Ii Apostoli intorno, e con un
Christo chi iu braccio l'annima di lei riciveva, era molto
lodate da Mic. Angelo, a stata poi levata via da chi the sia
From Cardinal Fesch's collection. Exhibited at the British
Institution in 1857-950 guineas (Martin).
This was the last picture in this celebrated collection.
The amount produced by the second day's sale was £8,742
10s—total of both days, £13,958 58.

TiIHEE CeiLlniEN DROWNED.—An occurrence of
a painful character took place at Stafford last night.
Three children (two boys and one girl), the two former the
sons of Mr. T. Taylor, afid the latter the child of a friend
who had left her under the protection of Mr. and Mrs
Taylor, had returned from school, and were playing near
the river Sow, which runs close by Mr,
Taylor's house,
when, by some sad fatality, they all three fell ;,:f.o the
stream, which had greatly overflowed its banks in conse-
quence of the late rains, The shrieks of the poor little
creatures immediately brought some of the neighbours to
the scene of the catastrophe, but so rapid was the current
that all their efforts to rescue them were unavailing. the
grief of the bereaved parents was frantic, and the melan-
choly event caused the most painful excitement throughout
the town, and drew hundreds of people to the spot, all of
whom vied with each other in their endeavours to
the discovery of the victims of this sad occurrepce.-14ir

Mr. Commissioner Goulburn was the Commissioner of

duced his bill-book containing entries to support the proof.

of Limi•ations, and eventually the case wac adjourned.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

FATAL TERMINATION OF A CHARGE.-011 Mr. Tyrwhitt
taking his seat on the bench this morning Inspector
Charles Bowles of the C division mentioned to him the
particulars of the death of a person charged with drunken-
neks.

Inspector Bowles said that on Saturday night a tailor
named Charles Lewis, of 7, Hanover-place, Oxford-street,
about thirty years of age, while in a state of intoxication
was crossing New Bond-street with a friend when he fell
against a cab and injured his rose. He was at once taken
to St. George's Hospital, and the surgeon who attended to
him gave the following certificate :7

" St. George's Hospital.
" This is to certify that Chat les Lewis is a patient, and
is suffering from a broken nose and Is intoxicated.
FREDERicx W. lIAUDE, House Surgeon."

Inspector Bowles said that the surgeon refused to admit
the man as an in patient, and with the view of taking care
of him he was taken to the Marlborough-mews station by
the constable (Ewer, 1660) and charged with being drunk
and incapable, but some time after was bailed by a friend
and taken to his house, where about twelve yesterday he

expired.
Mr. Tyrwhitt observed that it was a melancholy end of
the matter.

ALLIGED WANTON CRUELTY TO A DOG.—Elijah
Pain, a jobbing builder, 92, West •street, Soho, appeared to
answer the complaint of Mr. William Love, of the Royal
Society for the prevention of cruelty to animals, charging
him with havidg cruelly illtreated a dog.
Mr. Love said the matter had been taken up by the
society on behalf of the owner of the dog, as he regretted
to say tne case, as reported to the society, appeared to be
of a flagrant nature. Mr. Love then called
Mr. Judah Lazarus, who (corroborated by his
brother, Mr. Samuel Lazarus, a butcher, at 12, West street,
Soho), deposed that on the 4th of June he was sitting in
the front of his shop with the dog, an old and docile one
and nearly blind, by his side, when the defendant passed
with a piece of wood about three feet long in his hand.
After the defendant had passed he returned aud struck the
dog a violent blow across the head, causing it to fall over
and lie screaming in the street, the blood gushing from its
eyes, mouth, and nose. The dog was seriously injured,
and for some days could not hold up its head. He had had
the dog some years, and it had never attempted to bite any
one, _ _ _

Francis, an officer of the Society, said he found the dog
on the following day in a very bad state, and it could not
hold up its head, but it was now quite well.
Defendant pfotested his innocence of wilfully ill-treating
the dog. On passing the dog he felt something grip him
by the leg, and turned round hurriedly and stuck it with
the piece of wood, and then for the first time became aware
it was complainant's dog. He repudiated any intention of
wantcnly ill-treating the dog.
The magistrate said he was inclined to believe the de-
fendant's statement that the dog bit at his leg, He thought
if the defendant had any cruel intention he would have
struck the dog as he passed it, and not passed it and re-
turned to commit the act of cruelty. It was clear, how-
ever, that he used unnecessary violence to the animal, and
for that he should flue the defendant ss. or seven days.
The defendant was locked up in default.
