He then, lying on Jesus' breast, saith unto him, Lord, who is it ? 26. Jesus £inswered. He it is to whom I shall give a sop when I have dipped it. " It appears to us, however, that the moment of time selected by the painter for giving the sentiment to his picture follows closely our Savioiu-'s denunciation of Judas Iscariot. Apostle turns to Apostle, with looks of suqjrise or doubt ; Judas himself seems desirous of making his defence, he lays one hand on his bosom and expands the other, as if d...enying by his action what his looks acknowledge. Of the hfe of Murillo we shall have occasion to speak hereafter. His works are not numerous in England; his melancholy colouring, and the Spanish look of his delineations of character, mark him sufficiently out as an original and of a strange land. Though his pictures are not generally of a historical order, his genius was felt by the court and the church, and Charles the Second was desirous of making him his chief painter, but the declining years and great diffidence of Murillo interposed.
