No g. "a Pic-Nic Party" Thomas Cole, N.
A;-Mr. Cole has four pictures In the rooms. Of
which two are matchless in interest and beauty.
The others are not so much to our liking. No q
represents one Of the artists picturesque designs,
snliyened BY the presence Of party who have evi.
dently been making day of it. The grouping and
execution Of the figures are admirable, the atti.
tudes unconstrained and natural, and harmOnizlnQ
wei! in color with the rest of the picture the sky
and middle distance one of the best we remember
10 have seen BY MIR. O, and tho foreground beauti-
fu in the extreme. The oak, principal feature in
the scene, seems to have been huriiedly painted,
and strikes US as somewhat cold in color.
No l74. "ItQlian Sunset. This is one OF the
scenes in which Mr. Cole is peculiarly at home. and
has no rival. Among the great variety OF subjects
treated by his hand, we like those pictures in
which he gives US nature as viewed through his
own poetic imagination, no actual scene could rea-
lise the beauty and chastened effect found in this
picture. II is entirely idea and yet go true to nature
IN all Its component parts, as to place It beyond tho
necesslty-perha the possibility, OF discovering
No. l64. sThe Cross in the Wilderness" from
poem, by Mrs. Hemans-
"silsnt and mourniul sat an Indian chief,
.;S ss OS with rr.
And his arms folded in majestic gloom,
An And his bow Icy unstrung beneath the mound,
Which sanctinsd the gorgeous waste around"
This picture is circular one, Of cabinet size, with
the light radiating directly from the centre. The
action OF the poem is not developed in the design
but as an attemptto conrover the rules laid down by
all writers on art, that the light should emanase from
the sides. 1t is, perhaps, successful.
No. $50 "Vlew Of Lag0 de Nemi, near Rome"
The subject is uninterrsting, and, though doubt
less faithful portrait of the place, this picture is not
attractive the female figure. Ia the foreground,
seems out of place.
No "a Rev. T. H. Taylor, D. D., c. L. Elliott
A Mr.. E., exhibits seven portraits, among which
will be found the finest head (with, perhaps, the ex.
cePtion OF one by Hunnngton) IN the room--we al
lude to No. ls5. This picture forciby reminds US
Of head by Page, portrait OF Lowell, the peat,
which occupied the same place two years SINCE
Like that 1t is most elaborate in finish and accurate
in drawing. We do not reco!lect any thing Of In
mans superior to it; and Mr. Elliott has unques-
uonably, by his marked improvement through the
past year, placed himself in tho very frst rank
painter Of heads His portrait Of Dr. Taylor though
an excellent likeness, is marred by the crudeness Of
color IN the accessories. Tho picture Of "Oid
knick, a. the portrait of L. G. Clark is somewhat
atiectedly called, is excellent. Tho portrait Of Dr.
Stone, hardly inferior to No 1885, and is remarka-
BILE tor the beautiful transparency and clearness of
its shadows. while No. 22s, shows Mr.. E equally
at home in female portraits
No. Is "Uncle Philo, &C. Curtis, former pupil
Of Huntlngtoas, and an artist Of no ordinary pro-
mise This head is most accurate llkenesss Of
very great original. 1t placed high to be seen
to advantage.
No, 80 is portrait Of DR.. Potts by the same hand
Like No. lS4, it shows very marked improve
ment in this artist since tn last exhibition.
