We have noticed this stupendous work in its progress, and prepared the Public for a gratifica tion of .a solemn and interesting nature, when it should be submitted to general inspection. Yes terday this impressive Exhibition took place, at the Great Room in Pall-Mall, and ;be tztrect was exactly what we expected. A . feeling.of religious awe, mingled with admiration, took possession of the spectators. The Gentlethen were un covered while they beheld it, 'and only whispers were heard ,throughout the room. The num. ber of visitors, at an early ,hour, yesterday, was a 'dot- tribute to the character of the ve nerable Artist; and a proof of the gratification Which the public expect from every effort of Ms mastedy pencil. We subjoin a full description of this admirable performance, without presuming to enter into any criticism, only observing, that the work itself fully illustrates the grand and aw ful subject ; and we are sure, that when our nu merous provincial Readers, for whom, indeed, we chiefly insert this description, shall have perused it, such of them. as are likely to visit the metro polis will make it the first object of their, curio- . sky, and it will certainly be the subject of their surprise and admiration. DESCRIPTION OF THE PICTURE. The general effect proposed to •be excited by this Picture is the - terrible sublime and its various modifications, until lost in the opposite extremes of pity and horror, a sentiment which painting has so seldom attempted to awaken, that a parti cular description of the subject will probably be acceptable to•the public. In poetry the same effect is produced by-a few abrupt and rapid gleams of description, touching, as it were with fire, the features and edges of a general mass•of awful obscurity but •in - painting ' such indistinctness would he a defect, and imply that the Artist wanted the power to pourtray the conceptions of his fancy. Mr. IVEST was of opi nion., that, to delineate a physical form, which in its moral impression would approximate t 6 that of the visionary Death of Milton, it was necessary to endow it if possible with theappearance .so perhuman strength and energy : he has therefore exerted the utmost force , and perspicuity of his pencil on the central figure. He has depicted the King of. Terrors' with the physiognomy of the dead in a .charnel-house, but animated almost to ignition with. inextinguishable rage—placed on his head the kingly crown, and clothed the length of his limbs with a spacious robe of funeral sable. His uplifted right band holds no steptre, but is entwined with the serpent who first brougi►t Death into the world, and he launches his darts from both hands in all directions with a merciless iM-. partiality. His horse rosins . forward with the universal .wildness of a tempestuous element, breathing livid pestilence, and rearing and tramp ling with the vehemence of unbridled fury. Be hind hiai is seen an insidious daemon bearing the torch of Discord, with a monstrous progeny of the reptile world— ' All prodigious things, Abominable, unutterable, and worse Than fables yet have feign'd or fear conci'iv'd, Gorgons. and hydras, and chimeras dire.' The Ministers rif Hell, who had power giVen to them over the. fourth part of the Earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with. disease, and with the, beasts of the Earth.' The next, character on the canvas in point of consequence, is The Rider on the White Horse.— As he is supposedtorepresent the Gospel, it was requisite that he should be invested with those exterior indications of purity, excellence, and dig nity, which•are associated in- our minds with the name and offices of the Messiah. But it was not the &moult healing and comforting the afflicted, or the meek and . lowly ',JEsys,' bearing with resignation the 'scorn and hatred of tlae scoffing multitude, that was to be represented--it was the King of King s going f o rth conquering and to conquer,' to bruise the head of the serpent, and finally to put all thing under his feet. He is therefore painted with a solemn countenance, ..ex pressive of a mind filled with the thoughts of a great enterprise ; and he advances onward in his sublime career with that serene majesty in which Divine Providence continnes through the storms and commotions of the temporal world, to exe cute its eternal purposes. lie is armed with a bow and arrows, the force 'and arguments of Truth, ,and; leave behind him as passing vapour all those terrible tumults and phantoms which make up the auxiliaries and retinue of Death.— At the first view he seems to be only a secondary character, but on considering the business of the scene, it will be obvious that he is the great leader, and that all the . others hot follow in his train, and carry into effect the interior -objects of .his hea venly mission, as he goes towards that glorious re gion, in which appear the sank of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony Which they held.' The third of the apocalyptical characters is . The Rider on the Red Horse. Mr. WEST has re presented him simply as a warrior armed with the great sword.' He is advancing in the same direction as the Messiah, thereby intimating that those wars which have accompanied the progress of the Christian Religion, and of which he is the type and emblem, are a part of the divine scheme for effectually diffusing it thiTughont the whole earth. It Will be observed, that the horse in this instance is caparisoned as a war horse.; but thOse of Death and the Messiah are wit hoot reins, being . guided.only by the will of their riders.— Tim- prophetic vista beyond this character shows in one division the Romans under Titus returning with the spoils of Jerusalem,. and in the other . Crusaders contending With Saracens. . Bettina! the Messiah sod the ‘Varrior, The ..Rider on the Black Horse is seen coming FA ward. He is represented with the steady countenance of a roan scrupulous in his,estimaie• of things ; stern in his decisions, and likely to require the execu tion of his adjudications with the unrelenting so lemnity of a terrible Judge. lie bears those ba lancep in • his hands in Which Mankind are weighed .and found waiitiog,' and Despair and • Famine are seen before lain in the form of tt tvretched woman and an •einaciared tnan, absorbed in the feelings of their' own - parr ichl'ar misery. He 'follows the two'preceding characters, and is .supposed to typify that sceptical philosophy which affects to estimate Christianity by the temporal y circumstances that have arisen in the course of its progress, while it is itself but a part of the great cloud of mysteries which envelopes the pre lent anti future purposes of Religion. The domestic group in the foreground hpre sents a family belonging to that class of society who are supposed to be safe beyond the reach of ;the ordinary casualties of life, but who lire still' not farther remote from the darts of Death. I t is here that the Painter has attempted to excite the strongest degree of pity which his subject ad-. mined, and to contrast tire surrounding horrors' with images of tenderness and beauty. The inn ther, in the prime of life, is r e presented as having expired in the act of embrading tier children, a• the woe of sudden death is still more empliaticaVy expressed in the lovely infant that has fallen front her breast. The husband deprecates tire wrath of the hideous spectre that advances over them all, while the 'surviving daughter catches hold of her mother, sensible only to the loss which she has sustained by the death of so kind a'parent. In the other grotips, which form the riglit-hand division in the picture, the Artist has shewn the anarchy of the combats of men with the beasts of the earth. The chief of the human figures in this divisiOn, is one in the act of launching his javelin at a lion, which has seized and 'brought down a man and his horse. In tire character With the javelin, Mr. West has endeavoured to delineate that species of courageous muscular strength, which enables some men to face, with an undaunted countenance, the rage of the most ferry clot's animals. The sedate bravery of Iris look •affords a fine contrast to the alarin and terror of the Man who is seized by the enraged lion, .which he had wounded with his spear. Below them is a youth who has brOken his lance in the combat, and received a fatal blow on the head ; .behind them, a horseman comes forward with an- uplift ed sword, in the act of striking at a lioness that is" springing upon him and his horse. But the story of this troupe would have been inedmplete, Ilatl the lions not been gliewn conquerors to a cer tain extent, by the two wounded men who are, thrown down - as overcome beneath time hoofs of the horse of Death. The one with his hack to wards the spectator seems to regain his strength, and by still holding his dagger, indicates a wish to renew the fight ; tire other, irreco-verably dash ed out of the combat, and having lost his wea pon, grasps at the head of his horse with a use less exertion of bewilderid sense. Tire Pyra midal.form• of this large division is perfected by a furious bull (dm by 'dogs as be tosses on his horns the body of a yohtli. • In this portion of tine picture the firmament is rent asunder by beasts of lightning, anti a dis tant groope is seen started by the death of a young man who has been struck with the thon derbolt, and whose friends supporrhim in their arms. The interest of the episode is increased by the figure of a young woman flying from the • .scene of terror, but who is still induced to look back, as if constrained by affection for the victim. • The principle of destruction is exemplified through every part of the subject. In the upper region of the clouds the audacious eagle is seen pouncing on the heron, and near the dead ser .pent•in the foreground the affectionate dove de plores its mate that 'has just expired. EARTLIQUAKF..—On Sunday morning week, ex actly 3 minutes past 11 o'clOck, a slight shock of an earthquake, which Was accompank,d - by a hol low subterratreous sound, was perceptibly felt by numbers of persons in the different places of wor ship.' The same alarming sensation was expe rienced in . Dent, on the banks . of Windermere, as Well as at Coniston ; and it is to be hoped, that the concussion was confined to narrow limits, 'because we have not been able to trace be 'pro gre” of it to any other places than lhote mentioned. The last earthquake in prior to this, happened at 3 o'clock in the morning of August I 786. —(Kenthil Tiapez-.)
