Saint Sebastian, by Antonio Giorgetti (1671) on a design from Bernini.
These copies have been made in watercolours by Mr. West, of London, by whose skilful hand a force and power has been given to them, rivalling those qualities as exhibited in the originals; while, at the smae time, great freedom of handling has been preserved, giving to these drawings the air of autograph sketches for the large productions of the Great Masters, rather than of cold transcripts of their finished performances. Much might, of course, be said on trhe subject of each picture from which a copy has been made; but for the present, at least, we shall confine ourselves to enumerating the artist's names and their sujects, and to pointing out the schools to which they respectively belong - not altogether without the hope that the pen of one whose published works attest her perfect competency for the task, no other than that of Mrs. Jameson, may hereafter be enlisted in the good work of pointing out, in detail, what pleasure or benefit should be derived by the public from the study of so valuable a series.
