Taking m the early stages of the reign of Victoria, tt portrays in a humorous manner the scramble of the numerous European Potentates and Princes for her hand in marriage, and brings to recollec- tion many of the incidents connected with English history im the carly part of the roth century, which probably had better be forgotten.

FROM THE COLLECTION OF THE LATE JAMES MCMURTRIE, SR. MAGNIFICENT ETRUSCAN VASES FROM THE SIR WM. HAMILTON COLLECTION. 7s Erruscan Vase. Two-handled. Beautifully decorated in Black and White on Terra Cotta background. Height, 16 inches. Bought from the Sir Wm. Hamilton collection, and No. 155 in that collection, in perfect order. The decoration represents 76 16 Apollo and the Muses. The God and one of the Muses having challenged each other to a trial of skill, struck their lyres sev- eral times in the presence of the umpire, Apollo, in the opinion of the the Haun, has conquered, and is receiving from him a fillet, the prize of Victory; the Muse (on the left side of the subject) seems undecided ; the Hare placed underneath the God indicates the power of his music which draw animals to listen tow. The Palm tree particularly characterizes Appolo who was born at the foot of that tree in the Island of Delos. In regard to the Swan, the Ancients believed tt to be jus favorite mode of conveyance. SEE FACSIMILE. ETRuscaN Vase. Two-handled. Beautifully decorated in Black and White on Terra Cotta background. Height, 16 inches. , Bought from the Sir Wm. Hamilton collection, and No. 156 in that collection, in perfect order. The decorations represent Achilles and Penthtsilia. The courage displayed by Penthis- alta, Queen of the Amazons at the siege of Troy, interested her conqueror to such a degree, that seeing her fall from her horse, he ran to her assistance and, struck by her beauty he could not refrain from tears. Thersites who perceived tt, re- proached the Hero fer his weakness; his insoleuce was tmme- diately punished with death. The subject represents Achilles looking furiously at Thersites whilst raising Penthistia from the ground. It ts possible that the original of this picture was the same as that on the throne of Jupiter Olympus of which Pausanius speaks. SEE FACSIMILE, These two vases are the most remarkable specimens ever offered for sale, and coming from the Sir Wm. Hamilton col- lection 1s a guarantee of their genuineness. In fact the work- manship on thent is of such a delicate character, that we doubt of a modern imitation could bc made of them, even with all our improvements tn the potter's art. For over half a century, connoisseurs and art collectors, both of the continent and this country, have known that they were in the possession of the late James Mc Murtrie, Sr., and many inducements have been offercd for him to part with them. The present opportunity 2s one that should attraet the special attention of our great art museums and collectors to obtain the two handsomest spect- mens of Etruscan Vases to be had. Of course, they are thou- sands of years old, and the remarkable feature ts that they should survive that great age and be in such perfect order. a il, ’ + e — : 1 . ‘ A we é r = ~* , . ‘ ’ Fer ti = . _ , t ‘ “ q ' ; ' y ra - bf 3 , , ’ "a s < § + 4, wy : i iis , - ‘ a! - * zs é : y a i, . - a - * , me _ * ; ‘ : b x ft ee é « Lies yaa, 4 ut " & my ‘ - . » } } 2 te WEDGWOOD PORTLAND VASE a. NO. IN THIS: CATALOGUE 77 17 ORIGINAL WEDGWOOD PORTLAND VASE. PorTLAND Vase. One of the original Josiah Wedgwood Reproductions. Beautifully decorated with figures in white relief on blue background. Height, 934 inches, and 2134 inches in circumference. The history of this Vase ts as follows: (We quote from Henry Moses’ Work on Vases), Of the sepulchral vases, the most celebrated is that known by the name of PORTLAND VASE, The tomb whieh contained the sarcophagus wherein this ex- guisite production of art was deposited, was discovered about the latter end of the Sixteenth century in the Monte del Grano, which is at the aistance of near three miles from Rome, on the Frascati road. This elegant vase was long preserved in the Barberini Palace at Rome, and called the BARBERINI VASE, It came into the hands of Mr. Byres, who parted wiih i to Sir Wilham Hamilton, who sold it to the late Duchess of Portland, and in consequence of its becoming the property of that family it has obtained the name of the PORTLAND VASE. By the generous indulgence of the Duke of Portland u was de- posited in the British Museum, (where tt was broken by acci- dent). Its substance is senti-transparent, and 1s two bodies of vitrified paste, or glass of different colors, so closely united together as to make two distinct strata, like a cameo, the upper stratum a beautiful white, serves for the figures, which are in relief, and the under one a dark blue, forms the ground, the whole 1s wrought with a lathe, after the manner of a cameo, and exhibits, along with the design and workmanship of the finest bas-reliefs, the minute and delicate finishing of the best gems. On that side of the vase which all who have set about to explain or describe the objects represented, seem to have agreed in regarding as first compartment, a female figure, draped, in the centre, ts sitting on the ground at the foot of a tree. On her left side ts the head and part of the body of a ser- pent. Her right hand is extended toward the arm of a young male figure on her right, which descends into the picture naked trom a portal, composed of two square columns, wilh a plinth and frieze. A portion of drapery appears to be drop- ping from the left hand of the male figure. Over the head of the female figure is Cupid, fiving in the opposite direction of the portal, and carrying in his right hand whatis either a guiver or a torch. On the left 1s a second tree,under which, in nearly an erect posture,is anaged male figure of grave aspect. On the other side are hLkewtse three figures. Ln the centre, under a tree,is a recumbent female figure naked to the waist, 18 supported by the lett arm, while the right is lifted up, and the hand laid upon the head. In her left hand ts a torch, inverted, dui not extinguished, and at her feet 1s a square thin stone, per- forated in the centre. In her countenance, which ts turned to the left, there ts an expression which may be said to be tat of grief and love. Her eyes do not appear to be atrected toward any object it the group. On her right is a male figure naked, seated and looking toward her. In hus left hand he shghily holds a portion of drapery, upon which he rests his arm, and which is thrown over one thigh. On his right is a square pillar, surmounted by a capital, in each side of which ts wrought a hollow of an oblong shape. On the left of the female figure wn the centre is a second female, more youthful in her appearance, naked to the waist. Her right arm descends perpendicularly, and the hand 1s laid upon the rock or bank on which she sits, to support the weight of her body, which somewhat inclines backward; her head 1s turned around, ap- parently looking at the male figure on the opposite of the group. Her left hand holds a wand or sphere perpendicularly. The beautiful and youthful face of this figure has a placid ex- pression, but mingled, perhaps, with a certain solicitude, of which the female figure in the centre might be snpposed to be the object, and which she might be thought to direct toward the male figure, as if making an inquiry or sceking sympathy. A tree ts on the left of this figure, and to the left of this ts the portal described in the first groups. The groups are dinided in the upper part of the composition by heads, one of which or- naments the bottom of each handle. Under the foot of the vase is a head or bust representing either a male or female, wn the Phrygian bonuet or pyramidal hood. One finger ts raised to the mouth as if in token of silence. The head or bust 1s over-shadowed by a tree. The subject of the figures is supposed te relate to the iirth of Alexander the Great. Mr. ad’ Hancarville thinks tt repre- senls the well-known fable of Orpheus’s descent into Elysium, to recover from therein his beloved Eurydice, and so on. But of all wuterpretations Dr. Darwin 1s given the most credence, who thinks tt represents the Eleusinian mystertes. The present reproduction by the famous Josiah Wedg- wood ts a faithful rendition, and the art displayed by him wn reproducing tt vies with that of the original. Of the repro- ductions there were about fifty, of which this ts one, they have now become extremely rare, as there are now very few copies a existence. SEE FACSIMILE. 78 y ANTIQUE JASPER BUST.
