He has bumped into
Day, who saw Humphry in London and now sets off back to England with a "fresh set of fine pictures". He too has bought paintings and is now sorry he did not buy more.
He has written to
Bryan but received no answer. He has bought a
Domenichino (gives dimensions), also a
Titian from
Mr. Irvine, now in the hands of
Tresham. He hopes to treat these as pendants. A dealer in Rome wants to know if a portrait of the
Rezzonico Pope by
Mengs would fetch a price in England.
Metz is in Rome, drawing from
Michelangelo's Last Judgement. As his pictures at Bryan's and Philip's will not sell he wants them shipped to Rome. All Italy is joyful at the news of peace.
