Cartoon (35) Religion - by J.C. Horsley - executed by commission - from the exhibition in Westminster Hall, 1845. Knights kneeling before the Holy Bible, one '...of the finest works in this Exhibition of National Genius..."Religion exemplified in the faith and hope of the Cross of Christ, in the subjection of all earthly power and human distinctions to His will, and in the dependance of all estates and conditions of men on His WORD. (Cartoon.) John Callcott Horsley. ("Catalogue," page 8.)...The composition includes a terrestrial and celestial group; the latter being arranged in an attitude of devotional awe round an altar, on which The Book is opened...Mr. Horsley has, we understand, been elected by the Committee of the School of Design, to succeed Mr. Herbert as drawing-master'.
