[324] Fred. Oeser, one of the most extensive geniuses which the present
age can boast of, is a German, and now lives at Dresden; where, to
the honour of his country, and the emolument of the art, he gets his
livelihood by teaching young blockheads, of the Saxon-race, the elements
of drawing; and by etching after the Flemish painters. N. of Transl.

[326] Alexander, in his S. John, in _St. Andrea della Valle_ at Rome;
Niobe, in a picture belonging to the _Tesoro di S. Gennaro_, at Naples.
[327] So are the goddesses of the Theopægnia at Blenheim, in Oxfordshire;
and hence it is clear, that another Venus, analogous to that in the
Tribuna, among the pictures of a gentleman in London, cannot be the
production of that genius-in-flesh only. This daughter of the Idalian
graces seems to thrill with inward pleasure, and to recollect a night of
bliss——
There is language in her eye, her cheek, her lip:
Nay, her foot speaks——
