13,R H R E 71E117.. ,LECTURES ON PAINTING, DELIY , ERED AT THE ROYAL ACADEMY, MARCH 1801,. BY HENRY FUSELI, P. P. WITH ADDITIONAL OBSERVA- TIO:43.AND NOTES. Tat learning and ,critical sagacity of Mr. Fu_ sELI are so "conspicu6usly . sliewri in this Work, that though it has already received the tribute of our commendation, we 'consider it as...a duty we owe to merit ro. recommend it particularly to the attention of every Ryder :of taste, who must, .of course, be an:dubs-to store his Mind with right principles on the subject of the Arts. In the first of these Lee . tures; ,the Professor takes 'a view of the,History of Painting from its origin in Greece„.'which he coil-. sicier's as the legitimate parent of thiS,beautifia and interesting art. His conjtdures on 'the mechanic F r o c6ss of the Art, are probably foundelon fa& He divides this early history into three periods.: that of Pr?paratievi, that of Ettablishment, and th:lt of Refirement: The Professor, takes a view of the. distinguished Artists of Greece, and examines their charaderistic _merits. In the course of this examina.. .tion he displays great critical acumen, and - we shall present our Readers with his Observations on a celebrated Work of Antiquity, taken. from the first of these Ledures, as a proof of the inaependence of his judgment, as well as the soundness of his taste. "The decided forms of Parrhasius, Timanthes, the Cythnian, his competitor for fame, attempted ,to inspire with mind and to animate with passions.-- No of -antiquity is more celdbrat.cd than his immolation of Iphigenia in Aulis, painted, as Quin_ titian informs us,- in contest .with Colotes, of Teas, a painter and, sculi , tor from the School of Phidias ;, crwAmc,l with viaory at its rival EhibitiOniancisince the theme of unlimited praise frormthe orators and historians of antiquity, though the solidity or justice of their praise,' relatively to, our art; has been-qties.:, tinned by Moslem criticism. Oh this subjeet, which not only contains the gradaiiong of Affection, from . the most, remote to . the closest link of :humanity, %tit appears to Me to offer the fai"rest 'spscinien'ofthe limits which the theory ofthe Antien is had ptescribe.d to the expression of pashas, :I think it m/dary, the more cireurostatltialiy to expatiate, .as :he .cenAre passed oti. the. method of Tiinahthes !Lis beeh'.§alio. tioned by the.highest authority in- matters of art.—. that of . your- late .Presiders , ., in his eightll.-Discourse . at the delivery. of the Acfdezik Prize, for the:b;st PiEture-paintei from this very Subjea. ~.‘ Hofm, did .Timatithes treat ? Iphigenia, the otdained h= , the Oracle, to be offered for the:' success of the Greek -expedition against. troY . ; was represented standing ready for immolation the Altar,. The , Priest, the instruments of death at her side, and around her an 'assembly of, the most, important azerits-orwitnesses of the terrible idlein. pity, from Ulysses, whO had disengaged her . froni the embraces of her Mother .at I'vlycen*, to her nearest male relations, her uncle Menelaus, and her. own father Agamemnon. Timanthes, say, Pliny and Qt - iintilian, with surprizing ofphraSe, when, in gradation he had consumed every image of: grief within the •reach _of art from the ontl.ippy • Priest, to the Conscious: remorse of Ulysses,' and frdm that to the pangs of kindred Sympathy in Me. nelaus, unable, to expresS with dignity the _fathers ' woe, threw a veil, or if a mantle over his face. This mantle, the pivot of objedion,_ indis criminately borrowed, as Might easily be supposed, by all the coneurrents for the prize, gaverise to the following-series criticisms s ' Before- I conclude, I cannot avoid making one observation . on the pietiires now before us. I "lave observed, that every . c.tndidate has copied the cele br..ted invention of Timan: - .ll , es•in hiding the fate of Agamempoir in his mantle ; indeed. such lavish enco._ rniums have been bestowed on this thought,. and that too, by men of the highest character in critical knowledge, Cicero, Qaintilian, Valerius Maxi_ noN, an Pliny, ankt-have been Since.re.echoed by: a:most every modern that has written on the,.A rts, that your adopting it can neitfter be saondered at nor blamed. It - appears now- to be .so much, con nefted with the*Subjed, that the, spectator would, perhaps, be diSappointed, in - not finding Milted . in .the piettire what' he always.united in his mind, and -considered as indispensably belongingl. to the .st bjed. But it may he observed, that those. who praise this circumstance,, wexq pop Pain. ters. They use it as an -illustration only of, ~their own art, it served their purpose, and it was certainly not their business to enter into the objedions that lie against it in another Art. I - fear we have. but . very scanty means of exciting those powers over the irnlinatita, which. make . so very considerahle.,and retitled A part of Poetry. It. is a doubt ivitli me whether we should even make the . .attempt. The chief, if not:the only occasion which: the Painter has . for this Artifice, .is, when the subleit is. improper to, be more fully represented, - either for the sake , c,f decency, or to avoid - what would be disagreeable to 1i seen ; and this ii:riot ter raise or lucrease the passions, which is the reason •that is given this p for ra,nice, but on the:contrary, to. di; nurasit their effea. ' Mr. Faiconet has observed-in.:a Note oin this pftqsage in. his translation of rimy, that the cir., cumitzince s of covering the; ace of Agamemnon; was probably not in consetitiendc of . any fine. ima_ gination of the. Painter, which he considers as, a discover) , of the -Critics; but merely-copied from the 'descriptionofibe. - Sacrifice, as' it is found, in Euripides. :cc'' - 2' . The words frOi which the PiCture is supposed. to be taken, are that :;-.l,g•araernnon zany Iphigenia advance towards ,the fatal Altar; .he groaned, he turned aside his bead, he shed tears, and covered his face with hi's robe. Faleonet does not at 'all acquiesce in the praise that is 'bestowed on.Timanthes, not only because it' .is not his invention, 'but because he thinks. meanly of this trick of concealing, except in instances of blood, when the - objets would be too horrible to he seen ;' hut says he, " in an. afilieted Father, in a King, in Agamemnon, you who are a Painter, conceal from' me the Most interesting circumstance, and 'then put me off with -sophistry and -a veil.— You are, he adds, a feeble Painter i'vithdut. resour ces ; you do nut know even those of your Art. care not what veil is is, whether closed hands, arms raised, or. any- other anion that conceals from me the countenance of the Piero. - You, think of veiling Agamemnon—you have unveiled your own igno rance." - To what Fal&net has said; Ivgmay add that, supposing this inethod. of —le.iiving the' expres sion of grief, to the imaginatidn ; to be,' as-it was thought to be, the invention of the Painter, and .that 'it deserves. all the, praise that.has been . given it still it is a trick -tnat ;will serve but. once whoever does it a - second time, will not only want novelty, but be justly. suspeded.of using artifice to evade difficulties.• If difficulties overcome -Make a great part of the' merit of Art, difficulties evaded can deserve but little commendation.' To.-this string of. animadversions, of which what belongs to the English critic, excels the flip, pant petulance of the Frenchman's, sophistry, as much as his infant Hercules in real maghitude the ridictifous :Colossus of Peter the Great*, .1 subjoin, with diffidence, ,the following observations • '." The subject of Timanthes 'was the linmolation of Iphigenia; Iphigenia was the principal figure, and her form, her resignation, or her anguish, 'the Painter's principal task ; the. figure_of Agamemnon,. however important, -is merely accessary, and no more necessary to 'make - the. subjeet a . completely tragic one; than that of Clytemnestra, the mother— no more than. that of Priam, ,to impress us with_ syMpathy at the death'of Polyixena. It is therefore . a misnomer of the French critic, to call A.gainein non the.hero of the subjeel. " Neither the French nor 'the English critic; ap. pear. to me- to have comprehended the real motive of Timanthes, as contained in. the words, decere, . predignitate, and digve, in the passages of Tully, Quintilian, and Pliny ; they ascribe to impotence what was the forbearance of judgment ; Timanthes felt like a- father : he did. not hide' th* face of Aga menu-ion, because it was biyZnd the • power of his art, not because it was beyOrid' the p0..146i14,' 110 b'ec'ause it was .beyond . the .4.cgnit). of expre4Oß . ; because the inspiring feature Of p'ateinal afte6tion at;, that moment,` and the -adion, which of - neeessity' must have accompanied it, w`ouid either have destroy„: . ed the grandeur of the charader, and thesolemoity'of :the scene, or subjeded the Paintef..with the majority . of his,, judges, to_ the iitipotation . of -a .Ist either ,have. represented' 'him in .teifs,',.or convulsed at.thel4ll - "of datker, forgetting the chief .in the. father: or . sht , him -itbsorhed by.-. despair, and in th'at . stam of srupefadion, which ;levels all features and deatlins i.pression: . . hlighc indeed have chosen , a fourth mode-he Might have exhibited him fainting and ;palsied in the..arrns.i of, his 'attendants; and\ by this confusion of Male:apd, female charader, merited the.aifilatise of every Wea-• tre at- Faris.

'silence of Pliny and Quintilian on that head,. seems to be in favour of the. Painter, neither of whom could be ignorant of the celebrated Drazia . of Euri pides, and would not willingly have suircred the honour of this Master-stroke of an art they were so much better acquainted with than Painting, to be . * The egetstrian statue of Peter the-Great, at St.• Peters burgh, by Mr. Pakonet. transferred to another from its real author, had.the Poet's -claitn been prior : nor shall I urge that the Picture of Timanthes - was crownfd with Vietoty by those- who were in,daily habits• of assisting at. tile Dramas of EuripideS, without having their, xerdia impeached by Colotes or his friends, who Would not have failed 'to avail themselves of so flagrant a proof of inferiority, as the want of invention, in the work of his rival. I shall only`, ask, Wliat is Invention 1 if it be the combinajton of the most important mcnnent of a fact with ,the most varied efftCts of the reigningpassion on ,the charaiters introduced.; • the invention bf Timanthes consisted in chewing by the gradation of that passion in the faces of . the assist ant mourners, the reason 'why ihiit of the pi'ivcipal gat , (Wilt hid. This he performed, and this the Poet, whether prior or subsequent, did not and could not do, but left it with a silent appeal to our own mind and fancy. The'cast of AgamerisnOri's features-might be -guessed at from those of his -brother Menelaus, ' which . were shewn, but the -degree .of sympathy which palpitated in:the breast, and agitated the fea tureS of the uncle, without destroying dignity, - fixed the' limits of' pathos, whilst the pangs that rent the heart, and convulsed or absorbed the features of the father, • the prey of momentary despair and hor-, ror, oVerleapt those limits, andcould only, have shocked us by 'being admitted to our eye. - ,l‘ In presuming to differ, on the propriety of this , mode Of expression, in the PiCttire of Timanthes, from the respeaable authority I have quoted, I am - far from a wish to invalidate 'the equally pertinent and acute remarks made on the danger of its imita tion,- though I am decidedly of opinion, _that it is strictly within the limits of our art. If it be a trick, .it is certainly one that has served more than once. We find it achipted to express the grief of a - beautiful female figure on a basso relies°, formerly in the Palace 'Valle.= Rome, and preserved in the,Admi. - randa of St. Bartoli ; it is used, though with his own originality', by , Michael Angelo, in the figure of Abijam, to mark unutterable woe.—Raphael, to she that he thought it the best possible mode-of :.eipressing remorse,. and the deepest sense of re ,. petitance, borrowed it in the expidsion from Para. di'se; nil . ..
