Pictures from the late King of Holland's Collection - Dead Christ, painted by Caracci, 1850. '...from the Italian school, a Dead Christ on the Knees of the Virgin...sold for 192l. [florins], to F. Roos. It is very brilliant in colour, very natural in tone, and admirable in composition...The long-announced sale of the rich Gallery of the late King William II. commenced on Monday last, and has excited an unprecedented interest throughout Europe ; and since it has been open for inspection, the Hague has had a succession of visitors from almost every country. Many transatlantic amateurs have also visited Holland on purpose to see the King’s collections, and make purchases, and carry away some of the Royal treasures to New York, Boston, and other parts of the Western hemisphere'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
