Tm r ENTY~GNE years have elapsed since the establishment of this National Repository, during which period many thousand valuable Pictures that now adorn the sumptuous Galleries of our Nobility and Gentry, have been here, publicly exhibited, and annually purchased. An Institution of so mucti Importance to the Fine Arts could not fail to attract the envy and censure of several Individuals, who before the establishment of this National Gallery had both the Purchasers and Sellers of valliable Pictures, completely at their mercy; the Swarms of Foreign Impostors also, who regularly visit this vast Metropolis, with the highly lacquered Refuse of the Continental Markets were likewise dread¬ fully alarmed, and with much boisterous jargon, jab¬ bered their disapprobation of this National Institution. But the good sense of the judicious Collector, and the generous Patronage of a discerning Public, have enabled the humble Founder and Proprietor of ( iv ) the European Museum to surmount every obstacle, and for a long series of years to fulfil his engagements with his Friends and the Public, and to become a fair and equitable medium between the Buyer and Seller , the latter fixing his price, the former having proper time for deliberation, and every possible oppor¬ tunity of gaining information, relative to his intended Pui chase. Besides the Sale by Private Contract being nei¬ ther subject to heavy expences nor encumbered with Duties, is highly advantageous to both Parties. Pic¬ tures and other Property consigned to this National Gallery may be disposed of from five to ten per Cent, cheaper than at the Hammer, which produces an inn icnse saving to the Purchaser, and yet the Seller sustains no manner of injury : at the same time, the Amateur is highly gratified, and the Public taste refined, by the brilliant display of all the celebrated performances of the Ancient and Modem School I which are here constantly exhibited. Conditions of Sale. The Subscribers and Patrons of the European Museum* being very numerous, and their Connections in the great Towns on the Continent, as well as in the United Kingdom, being very ex¬ tensive, a constant and regular Succession of new Pictures will be exhibited ; the Purchasers may therefore, in general, have their Pictures immediately, or at farthest in the Course of one Week, by whicli Means, those who have Pictures to dispose of, may have them introduced to a certainty every Monday Morning. II. For Sums above Fifty Pounds, Tkre« Months Credit will be given, upon approved Security. III. The ( vi ) III. The Catalogue is formed from the Lists., which the severed Subscribers send with their Pictures, and as this Mode of Sale affords Purchasers the pecu¬ liar Advantage of forming a deliberate Judgment, and of consulting their Friends, to warrant the Ori¬ ginality of any Picture is altogether unnecessary, and consequently never done. IV. Mr. Wilson, the principal Manager, has full Power to treat for, and sell any Picture or Pro¬ perty exposed to Sale by Private Contract in the European ' i fum ; lie is also authorized by several of the Psoprb-tcTs to negotiate and to exchange, when direct purchasing b not convenient. ***SJK3®»* EUROPE %N EUROPEAN MUSEUM . 7%£ Pictures are not placed exactly in numerical Order, the weekly changes that constantly occur, soon inter - rupting die regular progression.

The group of figures is represented as having returned from the plunder of the ship, and examining their booty 215 The defeat of the Spanish Armada. Loutherbourg. This wonderful event has peculiar claim on the pencil, and in transmitting it to the canvas, Mr. Louiherbourg has chosen the moment of the greatest confusion in the Spanish Fleet, before Calais, as affording the finest opposition of lights, and therefore the greatest contrast of coloring and composition 246 The prodigal’s return, his father joyfully receiving him, and placing the gold chain round his neck ; from Monsieur de Calonne’s collection 247 Our Saviour crowned with thorns.
