every picture, and if be studies Nature with as
much profit as be does the pictures of the Du'sei'

rank OF our landscape painters
No. 50. "a Coast Storm Passing OFF," BY D.
HUS1ISGIoS, is fresh, freely painted, SPIRITED
uicture. II does rot, however. look like mach OF
storm; and you would hardly know, did you not
read it in the catalogue, whether it was passing oil
or coming on. We DO not remember to have seen
exactly such formation OF rocks anywhere along

great merit in roint Of fearless and mastery execu-
ton fine specimen OF oif-hand painting WITHOUT
nsrtculsr reference to Neture. 1t must be attract

tor, is obviously his forte.
We Cannot pass over two small pictures By
Hicks. Nos. Ia and 1911, both Views on the
Grand Canal, Venice" There is dlguerreo;ype
exactpess in the execution that renders them per
(ectly charming to the lovers Of Venice. Looking
closely into them we find palaces, and towers, and
domes-strapge picturesque boats filled with gay
fantasticaly arrsyed persons, that move and AMI
mate tie scene The water, above all, Is excel
lent. The hue is just that you see In the Grand
Canal, and is Transparency seems as real as ma
ture.
No. 90, DISMAL Swamp North Carolina" BY
RyGIs GIGxoux, is a daring and quite successful
REPRESENTATION Of a brilliant sunset and places Mr.
Gienoux among the boldest pioneers in the use Of
the pure primary colors 1t is plain to see, BY the
hues and gradations SO carefully carried through.
out this work, that Mr.. Gignoux has long been
digent student Of nature AS II to show by con-
rast " hat be can do, his other work, No. 2O2,
winter Sketch" with the earth covered with
snow is quite as true to The original No. % il is
az cold as that is warm.
Nos III and l79 are small landscape views By
B. CHANPsLY, Of Boston, both delicstely conceived
ard executed. They seem lighted by the sun
shine OF an early summer day. No. 29i is a land
scape by GEO. lSSEss. La this work may be per
ceived good feeling for color and tone the latter
is indeed very fine; but the srtist must have
more reference to natural forms and textures, or
very few persons viii stop to admire bis painting
Mr.. RICHARDS landscapes al want meLo"ness OF
tone and color they are TOO green and harsh. No
l29, Moonlight Composition" by u. L. BRowS,
sets forth some experience OF Lorenzo and Jesslca
in sbakspere's Merchan: Of Venice. If we are
not mistaken there 10 want OF nature IN this Work
from the center out to the circumference IN every
direction. Mr. DouGHIr seems not to have In
moved for many years; BIS color is dead and lead
On and the forms in bis works very conmon-Place.
Yet there is something very pleasing IN them to a
great many persons.
Come foreigners also exhibit pictures in this de-
,.r,ment of the art. No. ll2, Evening IN the
An. by WV HElSE, is characteristics oil the ho1r
and plsce There is quiet sadness IN the color
and iieht and shade OF this picture which borders
rron melancholy. No 70, Forest Scenes IN Ger
rasnv.p by PAUL WIBER, is fair specimen Of
what an artist can do who utterly dlregsrds Ma
,p,.. Yet there is some rather fresh painting
among the leaves in the rgh. corner o! the picture
| No. Io4. "Aniens Cathedral from the River
somme." BY H. griffin. The sky and tower are
p.irted in free, broad bold style, after the man
ner Of the English school, bat in execution and
feeling are utterly unlike tie other pictures coupled
| with Mr. Critters name. Il seems impossible
that he can have painted il. Beside, the date
looks remarkably As though it had been 1910, and
By scme other than the original hand, had been
hanged to ls49.
We here close with the landscapes, though we
have left some unnosiced that are by no means de-
void Of promising qualities. Should any artist OF
student feel 4 moments chsgrin st tAis, let hin
