380. A Landscape with Buildings. One of the most conspicuous of these is the church of the Santa Trinità del Monte, where the artist was buried. The view also embraces a portion of the Monte Cavallo, the Pope's summer residence, and other beautiful edifices. The foreground is rendered picturesque by ruins, trees, and the introduction of appropriate figures. Collection of Edward Coxe, Esq., . 1807. . 100 gs.

381. A View in Italy. This beautiful scene represents, on the right, a mass of rocks of a broken and irregular shape, surmounted by clusters of trees of varied foliage. A limpid stream flows round its base, which runs in gentle eddies through the centre of the view: clumps of trees embellish the foreground, and various buildings give interest to the more distant landscape. This picture is stated to come from the Gavotti Palace.

382. The Companion. A Landscape divided by a River, which meanders through a valley and is lost among distant hills. The foreground exhibits a verdant meadow watered by a stream, over which is a bridge composed of a single arch, the abutments of which are partly hidden by trees; cattle browse on the banks of the stream and in the adjacent meadow. A small town is visible on the declivity of a hill in the distance. The figures in both pictures are attributed to the pencil of Bamboccio.

383. The Grotto of Neptune. A landscape representing, on the left, an open country divided by a river, bounded by distant hills. On the opposite side, the eye looks over a broken and varied foreground to a mass of rocks, which extend to the river side, and are abundantly clothed with trees and bushes, and are traversed by an opening, through which is seen the distant country. The scene is also distinguished by the introduction of the Sybil's temple, standing among trees on an eminence.

384. The Artist studying from Nature. The view exhibits the entrance of a seaport town with its harbour, bounded by a mountainous range of coast. In the absence of further detail, the picture may be identified by three figures introduced in the foreground, one of which represents the painter, who is seated drawing the surrounding scene. The same subject occurs in Nos. 115, 130, 301, and 315.

385. The Companion, styled "Claude's Favourite Mill." The view is supposed to represent the country adjacent to the Apennines, whose steep sides are delightfully clothed with bushy trees, amidst which gushes a stream of water, which falls foaming into a river beneath, and thence, gliding along the foreground, imparts a verdant freshness to the surrounding meadows, in which grow luxuriantly clusters of beautiful trees. A bridge, composed of several arches, crosses a distant part of the river.
