Opis

Excerpt from The Works of Charles Lamb, Vol. 2: Poems, Plays and Miscellaneous Essays; With an Introduction and Notes After leaving the Reynolds Gallery, where, upon the whole, I received a good deal of pleasure, not feeling that I had quite had my fill of paintings,. I stumbled upon a picture in Piccadilly (no. 22, I think), which purports to be a portrait Of Francis the First, by Leonardo da Vinci. Heavens, what a difference! It is but a portrait, as most Of those I had been seeing; but, placed by them, it would kill them, swallow them up as Moses' rod the other rods. Where did these Old painters get their models? I see no such figures, not in my dreams, as this Francis, in the character, or rather with the attributes, Of John the Baptist. A more than mortal majesty in the brow and upon the eyelid; an arm, muscular, beautifully formed; the long, graceful, massy fingers compressing, yet so as not to hurt, a lamb more lovely, more sweetly Shrinking, than we can conceive that milk-white one which followed Una; the picture altogether looking as if it were eternal, - combining the truth of żesh with a promise of permanence like marble.
