This picture, the master-piece of DOMENICHICO, comes from the great
altar of the church of _San Geronimo della Carità_, at Rome. It will
appear incredible that for a work of such importance, which cost him
so much time, study, and labour, he received no more than the sum of
about £10 sterling.
N° 769. (Gallery.) _St. Cecilia_.
This capital performance is now removed to the drawing-room of the
First Consul, in the palace of the _Tuileries_.
After RAPHAEL, DOMENICHINO is one of the most perfect masters; and
his _St. Jerome_, together with RAPHAEL'S Transfiguration, are
reckoned among the most famous _chefs d'oeuvre_ of the art of
painting.
