Excerpt from Life and Letters of William Bewick, Vol. 2 of 2: Artist

In this collection is a celebrated Carlo Dolce, Christ in Agony on the Mount,' with gilded rays ingeniously softened into a blue sky, and the blood dropping from his forehead on the grass, which is discoloured by it. It is the size of your two hands, and on copper, highly valued by the Genoese and others but I confess that I have a distaste for the works of this hand (upon which I could enlarge a good deal), and cannot reconcile myself to this picture, even when the ladies were extolling its high finish (which I do not deny), its beauty, its affecting expression, and everything that is wonderful in it, and not in it.
