Note 184 — LECTURE X. FRENCH ART IN THE SEVENTEENTH CENTURY.

Notice of Guillet de St. Georges, recently published (see the Appendix):—"Nearly at the same time the Princess-dowager de Condé, Charlotte-Marguerite de Montmorency, mother of the late prince, had an oratory painted by Lesueur in the hôtel of Condé. The altar-piece represents a Nativity, that of the ceiling a Celestial Glory. The wainscot is enriched with several figures and with a quantity of ornaments worked with great care."
