GRAVINGS to be executed by the principal Artists of the
brtient period, after selected Pictures of the Great Masters, with
view of intimating the various Schools of Painting; the Cele-
brated Picture of the DEAD CHRIST at.d MAR lES, by ANNI-
DAL CARACCI, formerly in the Orleans Collection, has been
fixed upon as an example of the Bolognese School. Mr. SHARP
h therefore Dow engraving this subject upon, a scale of 20, by 24
inches, and the Drawing will continue on view for a short time
longer, et 39, Seckyillo-street, together with other fine Drawings,
from which the Wed itself will be executed.
Independent of the Work of large Engravings, It is Intended
abs to publish a smaller Work of IFITTIIIN ENORAVINOS,‘upon
the scale of Vandyle's Book of Heads, illustrative of the Fine
Portraits, and Ideal Heads of Raffaelle, Titian, Giorgione, Vela*:
pee, Ruben', Vandyke, Rembrandt, Guido, and Domenichino.
The principal Artists to be employed In these Works are,
Morghen, of Florence; Sharp, and Heath, of London ; Banue,
ef Oerouny; Muller, of Stutgard ; and others, who may be

Guineas for each Engraving; to be paid on delivery. The Tern .
dSubscrfption to the Work of Portraits, will be Two Guineas

sions of the Plates will be delivered to Subscribers according to
the priorky of their subscriptions, and G.:ntlemen, not resident in

pod as to send theirparticular address, and also mention, if they
wish their Copies delivered to any person in London, or for-

Eskibitlun of the Drawings is entrusted, will receive Subscribers
an& to both, or either of these Worke ; and furnish a Pro-
