110. Circa 1820 to 1827.—*The Last Judgment. Tempera. See pp. 260, 401, Vol. I.
Seven feet by five feet in dimensions, and estimated to contain 1,000 figures. A later work than the one belonging to Lord Leconfield, No. 89.
111. 1822.—*The Creation of Eve. [Linnell.] See No. 90b.
This design, and the two following, are duplicates, but with some difference in tone of colour, &c. of the three in Mr. Strange's noble series from 'Paradise Lost,' No. 90, on the whole carried a trifle less far.
112. 1822.—*Satan watching the Endearments of Adam and Eve. [Linnell.] See No. 90d.
113. 1822.—*Michael foretelling the Crucifixion to Adam. [Linnell.] See No. 90h.
Great in effect of darting light and darkness,
114. 1822.—*The Wise and Foolish Virgins. [Linnell.]
Very noble: the composition admirable, both in an artistic sense and in expression of the subject—the effect dark and night-like. The Wise Virgins are in a serried, upright group, departing to the left; the Foolish Virgins distracted and scattered, some upon their knees. Above them an angel, floating in the sky in a horizontal position, blows his trumpet for the coming of the Bridegroom.
115. 1822.—The same.
A smaller version of the same composition, executed for Sir Thomas Lawrence. See page 401, Vol. I.
116. 1822.—The Rich Man in Purgatory.
Also done for Sir T. Lawrence. 'Purgatory' appears to be an euphuism for 'Hell,' and the subject that of 'Dives and Lazarus.'
117. Circa 1822.—A complete set of Water-colour Designs for the Job Engravings. [Butts.] See pp. 325-6, Vol. I.
These are much larger than the engravings, and give only the central subjects, without the borderings or mottoes. They are generally pale in colour, with a less full and concentrated effect than the engravings, and by no means equal to them in power and splendid decorative treatment of the light and shade. On the other hand, they are often completer and naturally freer in expression, and do not exhibit a certain tendency, noticeable generally in the engravings, to over-sturdiness of build and physiognomy in the figures. (See also the photointaglios.) As distinguished from the engravings, the following are the most noticeable of the water-colours:—
(a) 'Thus did Job continually.'
On the sun is written: 'Our Father which art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name: Thy will be.'
(b) The Destruction of Job's Sons and Daughters.
