Note 147 — ESSAYS. (continued 2)

From MS. notes on the old pictures of Italy. Of this class, there is a magnificent early Flemish picture, of which I never saw the original: it is Van Eyck’s worship of the Lamb. There is an excellent description of it in Madame Schopfenhauer’s pleasant volumes on the ancient Flemish schools of art; and one in a periodical work published at Brussels, in which there is an etching of the whole subject.
