as his celebrated portrait of Charles the First on horseback.
Others deem it a faithful representation of a horse, which
his life tells us was given him in the following manner.
•Vandyke presented'his master, Rubens, with three of his
excellent pictut es. The latter was so pleased with one of
them representing the Taking of Christ in the Garden,
that he placed it over the chimney of the principal apart-
ment in his house, and in pledge of gratitude and friend.
&hip, sent Vandyke one of the f:lest horses in his stud.
Whatever be the cause which produced this admirab',
specimen of superior skill, all the lovers of the arts rr..,•:
rejoice that it exists, and also that it has been libci-ally
offered as a stimulus to emulation, and a means of im-
provement to the rising school of British painting.
Several copies have been taken Emil this picture. They
all display, not a servile, but a spirited fidelity of inMa-
tion, and prove that the great ei:d ‘)f the British Institu-
tion, the expansion and perfection of naive talent, is
already fulfiTng. One in particular possesses almost all
the fire and natural accuracy of the original. It was
painted, we un,lerst,..nd, by a lady of the name of Ainsley,
who has not c,aciaed her exertions to this subject alone,
but has also this year ventured, with equal success, to make
the beauties of other masters hvr own, and to give them a
double existence in her copies. Other imitators, though
le :s happy in the general execution of their work, are also
entitled to high commendations. Even sketches retain
tile spirit of the original. Such results show the utility of
an establishment like the British Institution, and must
prove the most welcome rewards which its founders and
governors can receive.
