A Wanderer in Florence

CHAPTER XI
33/38

3341, the robing of a monk, is worth attention.
We come now to the last pictures of the collection--in three little rooms at the end, near the bronze sleeping Cupid.

Those in the first room were being rearranged when I was last here; the others contain Dutch works notable for a few masterpieces.

There are too many Poelenburghs, but the taste shown as a whole is good.

Perhaps to the English enthusiast for painting the fine landscape by Hercules Seghers will, in view of the recent agitation over Lord Lansdowne's Rembrandt, "The Mill,"-- ascribed in some quarters to Seghers--be the most interesting picture of all.

It is a sombre, powerful scene of rugged coast which any artist would have been proud to sign; but it in no way recalls "The Mill's" serene strength.
