THE PINE ARTS.

(No. X.)

SOCIETY OF PAINTERS IN OIL AND W4I'ER COLOURS.

The Eleventh Annual Exhibition of this. Society
opened yesterday at Spring Gardens, and we were
gratified with numerous specimens of Works, exe-
cuted in a manner which may lie said to be pecu-
liarly British, There are no fetrer than three
hundred and fifty-nine Pictures, comprising clever
productions by DE WINT, FIELDING, CRISTALL,
GLOVER, LINNELL, W. TURNER, VAELEY, AT-
KINSON, CLENNELL, Miss GOULDSMITII, STE-
KIANOFF, A. W. DEVIS, HAVELL, - ' t
We have not room to-day to enter into any
specification of the subjects, or criticism on their
respective merits There are many very sweet
pictures, though few of prominent excellence.
We eau admire the greater number in the cata-
logue, but there is scarcely- one which excites
astonishment either by its conception or execution.
Several of the pictures had already been sold
when we visited the Gallery yesterday afternoon,
and upon a general and hurried first view of the
Collection, we think we may justly recommend it to
public favour, not only on the score of its own
deserts, but for the sake of encouraging a School
which teaches the' Artist to rise by patient dili-
gence and a steady observance of Nature, to the
highest rank in his noble profession.
