Christie's, London, 3 May 1806 (=2nd day), lot 63, 'Titian. Grand tableau. Vue du Chateau et du bourg de Cadore ou naquit Titien en 1477. Paysage dont le site est pris dans le voisinage d'une longue chaine de tres hautes montaignes, qui rappellent l'idée des objects les plus imposans qui soient sur la terre, et la majestueuse somptuosité des ouvrages de la nature. De très grandes arbres placés dans l'ombre à la gauche de tableau repandent leur feuillages dans toute sa hauteur. La partie opposée, l'artiste a dirigé la vue du Spectateur sur une Nymphe qui est endormie, et mollement coucheé sur une draperie blanche. Un Satyr est pres d'elle comme qui voudroit la surprendre, mais qui craint de l'eveiller, la force de ses membres marquet l'ardeur de son temperament, et la couleur de ce Dieu champêtre contraste admirablement avec la delicatesse du coloris de la Nymphe. Dans tout ce morceau on reconnoit la main et le genie d'un grand maître jamais Titien ne s'est montré plus habile dans le paysage, ni dans la figure. Titien le peignit pour le superieur d'un Monastère, son ami. Ce tableau n'est sorti du Convent pour lequel il fut fait, que pour venir en Angleterre, ou il a été apporté en 1783. Il est 8 pieds, 6 pounces de longueur sur 6 pieds et 4 pounces de hauteur' (acquired before the sale [and before the English version of the catalogue was printed], en bloc with the whole Agar collection by William Seguier on behalf of Grosvenor)

J. Young, Catalogue of the Pictures at Grosvenor House, London, 1821, p. 20, engraved by J. Young pl. 20 (The Gallery. No. 61. Titian. Landscape with Jupiter and Antiope. Being a view of the Castle and Town of Cadore, where Titian was born, 1477: painted for the Superior of a Monastry, where it remained until 1783. This picture was purchased at a very high price, by the late Mr. Agar, from Gavin Hamilton, who considered it to be of the finest landscape specimens of the Artist; and it was so highly esteemed by the purchaser, that he freighted a vessel for the sole purpose of bringing it to this country). G.F. Waagen, Works of Art and Artists in England, London, 1838, I, p. 312 ('Two pictures under the name of Titian, the Woman taken in Adultery, and a large landscape, hung too high to pass a decided judgement on them. [..] The second, a noble composition, judging by the heavy and dark general tone, may be of a later time: perhaps that of Gaspar Poussin'). A. Jameson, Companion to the Most Celebrated Private Galleries of Art in London, London, 1844, p. 261, no. 79 ('it is said that this picture was painted for the Superior of a monastry; if so the choice of the subject is rather extraordinary'). G.F. Waagen, Treasures of Art in Great Britain, London, 1854, II, pp. 169-70 (as above).
