The same may be said of the death of the saint, where i admiration and grief of the bystanders are inimitable.'— ITu^^^r. Digitized byGoOgl 140 Walks in Borne ' Reclining on a couch, in the centre of the picture, her hand pressed on her bosom, her dying eyes raised to heaven, the saint is breathing her last ; while female forms of exquisite beauty and innocence are kneeling around or bending over her. The noble figure of an old man, whose clasped hands and bent brow seem to bespeak a father's a...ffection, appears on one side ; and lovely children, in all the playful graces of unconscious infancy, as usual in Domenichino's paint- ings, by contrast heighten, yet relieve, the deep pathos of the scene. From above, an angel— such an angel as Domenichino alone knew how to paint, a cherub form of light and loveliness— is descending on rapid wing, bearing to the expir> ing saint the crown and palm of glory.'— ^afon'« ' Rome.' The copy of Raffaelle's S. Cecilia over the altar is by Guido.
