British Institution Exhibition - No. 317. - "The Departure of the Chevalier Bayard from Brescia" - painted by J. C. Hook, 1850. 'The picture hangs in the South Room; its dimensions are three feet two inches in height, by two feet seven inches in width. We repeat the epigraph, to remind the reader how admirably the painter has succeeded in representing the words of the biographer: "As he quitted his chamber to take horse, the two fair damsels met him, each bearing a little offering which she had worked during his sickness. Greatly did the brave knight thank them for this last courtesy, saying that such presents from so lovely hands were worth ten thousand crowns. Then gallantly fastening the bracelets on his arm, and the purse on his sleeve, he vowed to wear them both for the honour of their fair donors while his life endured".' From "Illustrated London News", 1850. AiWire
