of my own in both sciences, and I have found the

RAPID'S PICTURE OF TAR CORONATION OF
POLkON.
The exhibition of this floe picture, which sorrels great
attention, has just bees opened. We supply the following
brief particulars without remark, as we inward to give a
formal account of it. It is 33 feet long, and the number
of figures in the canvas amounts to 211). It was best recently
fisiahed at Brussels, where the artist was exiled fur his
Bonapartism; and not on!y was this wink of art refused
admission into France, but attempts wire made, on the
part of the French GOVYII3IIICoII, to prevent its exhibition
its this country. Nothing can be more atrikteg thee
the chief group in the fore-ground of the picture. The mo-
ment chosen by the aritgt fur representation, Is that in which
the Emperor, after hsvior put WI the two crowns at the sitar,
is shout to descend the steps, bearing one of them, the crown
of France, in order to place it on the heal of the Empress,
who is kneeling on the first step. Napoleon and Josephine
■ppear in this ceremony, whether erica regard to attitude,
costume, or expression, with most admirable propriety. Be-
hind the Emperor are seen the figores of the Pope, some
Cardinals, and the count, of a Creek Patriarch, all re.
'amicable for the accuracy of the resemblance to the reinter.
live originals. Talleyrand, who acted as Grand Chamber.
fain, stands on the extreme right. He soprani to take an
interest in the 'merle, which may be justif.d by the
reality—but is not in accordance with the common im-
pression of the character of this person. The left hand
aide of the picture is closely occupied lay a group,
in which the brushers and sisters of the Emperor form
the must conspicuous figures. Murat, towards the mid-
dle, is • striking full length. He bears the basket which
contained the Croon of France. To the left, behind the
Empress, stand the three sisters of Napoleon, with two
other females. Their light forms are admirably reliesed by
the masculine and der ply shaded figures of Louis and
Joseph. The tribunes in the upper part of the picture are
filled with spectators, on wheal the artist has bestowed, of
• course, ■u inferior degree of care. It is to be regretted that
the room is not deep enough to enable the spectator to see
the effect of this splendid painting to the blithest advadtage,
of which so grand a specimen of art is capable.
