Synopsis
Excerpt from Museum of Painting and Sculpture, Vol. 15: Or, a Collection of the Principal Pictures, Statues and Bas-Reliefs, in the Public and Private Galleries of Europe C'est en 1640 que se reunit pour la premiere fois le parlement, qui plus tard condamna a mort le roi Charles Ier. Cette assemblee avait aussi aboli la Chambre des pairs, et se trouvait ainsi la seule autorite qui gouvernat l'Angleterre. Cependant Cromwell ayant eu l'occasion de deployer de grands talens militaires et de faire connaitre son courage, sa prudence, meme sa dissimulation, finit par obtenir une influence sans bornes parmi ses compagnons d'armes. Il en profita pour faire cesser l'autorite arbitraire du Parlement, et le 10 avril 1653, entrant sans etre attendu, il interrompit les debats, reprocha brievement a plusieurs membres leurs vices, leur impopularite, et declara que, Dieu ne voulant plus d'eux, l'assemblee etait dissoute. A l'instant et au signal convenu, des soldats entrent dans la salle, la font evacuer et ferment les portes. Telle est la scene representee par Benjamin West avec un talent superieur. Cromwell calme, plein de dignite et de sangfroid, occupe le centre de la composition. Il donne l'ordre d'enlever le sceptre, brillant hochet, qui semblait etre l'embleme de l'autorite usurpee par le parlement. Ce tableau a ete peint pour lord Grosvenor, et fait partie de sa collection; il a ete tres-bien grave en 1789 par Jean Hall. Larg., 12 pieds; haut., 9 pieds.
