Ross1TER's GREAT HlsToRIcAL PAINTING OF
THE CAPTIVE IsRAEL1TEs, continues to attract
crowds Of delighted Notwithstanding, noon, and
night 1t will remain at Odd Fellows Hall only
few days longer.
MIR. Rossiter undoubtedly stands at the head Of
living American artists; and his painting now in
this city is regarded as his master piece. He
has succeeded not only in initiating the forms of
nature but has faithfully portrayed the charac-
ter and passions of the human soul, thus achieving
the highest degree of excellence in the sublime
art Of painting-for Of what avail (says Gibbon)
is the dexterity of the hand, unless it is ami
mated by fancy and guided by the most correct
taste and judgment? Critics, we believe. uniyer
sally concede these properties to the creations of
MIR. Rossiter's pencil. All the figures on this eau
vass are not only in harmony with the scene he
portrays, but stand out in bold relief, whilst the
landscape is unequalled for brilliancy and
truthfulness to nature. Taken altogether we
question whether more adm irae painting has
ever been exhibited in this CITY, saving and ex-
cepting always Dubufe's Temptation and Expul-
sion. Every lover of fine will of course attend
the exhibition again and again.
