Celadon and Amelia. From an Original Picture, in the Collection of Wm. Lock Esqr [...]
R. Wilson pinxit Londini. Browne aqua forti fecit. Woollett sculpt.
Publish'd June 10th. 1766 as the Act directs, by W. Woollett in Long's Court, Leicester Fields, & Ryland & Bryer at the King's Arms in Cornhill, London.
Engraving, sheet 440 x 550mm (17½ x 21½"). Trimmed inside platemark; repaired tear at top. Foxed.
Celadon at the centre, looking to the heavens with his arms outstretched in disbelief and grief; Amelia lies dead at his feet. In the background a house with a shepherd driving his sheep up a hill, on which is a fortress. To right, a bay with stormy seas and a broken bridge. Verse from 'Summer' by James Thomson from his 'The Seasons' below. After an unlocated painting by Richard Wilson (1714 - 1782), the preeminent British landscape painter of the mid-18th century. Wilson's painting was exhibited in 1765 as 'A Summer Storm with the Story of the Two Lovers from Thompson (Celadon and Amelia), reinforcing the link with this popular literary source for 18th century artists. David Solkin has described this subject as a modern, Christian, English equivalent to the Ovidian death scene 'Destruction of the Children of Niobe' which Wilson also famously painted.

The Centurion Cornelius. From an Original Picture brought to this Country by M Bryan Esq. And when the Angel which spake unto Cornelius was departed he called two of his household servants and a devout soldier of them that waited on him continually And when he had declared all these things unto them he sent thme to Joppa. Acts. Chap.r X Verse 7 & 8.
Painted by Rembrandt. Engraved by Ja.. Ward Painter & Engraver to his R.H. the Prince of Wales.
London: Pub. April 10 1800 by Mess.rs Wards & Co. No. 6 Newman Street.
A large mezzotint. 585 x 660mm (23 x 26"). Thread margins, 2 tears through inscription area and top edge. Very light foxing.
Cornelius, following a vision of an angel, summons 'two of his household servants, and a devout soldier' in order to send them to Joppa to fetch the apostle Peter (Acts X: 1-8). The painting has also been seen as showing the parable of the Unmerciful Servant, in which a servant is forgiven for his debts by a king, but fails to show the same leniency to a fellow servant. The painting (London, Wallace Collection) is no longer believed to be by Rembandt, although its authorship is disputed.

Admiral Sir Henry Ducie Chads, GCB (1788-1868) was an officer in the British Royal Navy who saw action from the Napoleonic Wars to the Crimean War. He entered the Royal Naval Academy at 12 years of age, and in 1803 embarked aboard the 74-gun ship of the line HMS Excellent, sharing in the defence of Gaeta and the capture of Capri. He later distinguished himself at the occupation of the Île de la Passe, gateway to the Île de France. In 1823, he was prominent in the expedition against Rangoon, as a result of which he was made Post Captain, created C.B. and received the thanks of the Government of India, and praise in the British House of Commons. In 1841-5 he was on the Chinese station in command of HMS Cambrian, and then commanded the Royal Navy's gunnery school HMS Excellent. Chads reformed the whole system of naval gunnery, both as regards weight of metal and rapidity of fire. He was promoted Rear Admiral in 1854 and was third in command of the fleet sent to the Baltic under Sir Charles Napier, who claimed that Chads ‘knew more about gunnery than any man in the service'. He was one of the leaders in the bombardment and capture of the fortress of Bomarsund. He struck his flag in 1855, and as a reward for his services was created a K.C.B. From 1856 to the end of 1858, he held the command-in-chief in Ireland and in 1865 was created G.C.B. and received the Admiral's good service pension.
