$a No publication-date is given; but the exhibition of Belgian and Dutch pictures on which the present text comments contained 146 pictures, beginning with 1. King Charles I on horseback, by Van Dyck; 2. Lady and child, by Van Dyck; 3. Allegory, by Rubens - i.e. the exhibition mounted by the British Institution in 1815. The text consists entirely of hostile comments, e.g. 'No. 16. This beastly production we reserve to remark upon bye and bye. It will probably be the last piece to receive our notice. No.17. May be put into the heap with the rest of its companions ... No. 18. Is wretched ... a point less vilainously bad than No. 10.' |
