PoErRNT PAINTING. --Passers along
Church street, between High and Sum-
mer, will notice on tho new building
erected by DR.. MoRGAN as q dental office,
a modest sign denoting that portrait
painting is done up stairs. We have
often, as we noted IL, been inclined TO
visit the ortisPs studio, and see what, in
these times, was doing in the line Of the
fine arts. Nashville we know has, in her
day, been a munifcent patron of the
painters art, and numbers amongst her
resident artists some whose works are Of
a very rare order Of excellence. What is
she doing for her gifted children now?
The times are sadly out Ct joint" and
we apprehehded that the art of painting
received no encouragement whatever. In
this we were mistaken, at least so far ~
Mr.. BAKER is concerned. He has not
been altogether idle. He has been en-
gagged upon the portraits Of number Of
well known citizens of Nashville, and the
visitor to his rooms will find them there
in various stages of progress. In every
instance the likeness is goodj whilst the
painting confers upon him unusually high
claims as an artist of genius. He is
one of the most thorough artists we
have known. lie does not paint simply
a good brad, and neglect the remainder of
the picture. Every part of his pictures,
even the most insignificant, is faithfully
wrought OUT and when he puts them by
as finished, there is really nothing more
TO be done to them. We have known Mr..
BAKER nearly twenty years, and have
watched his progress with no small de-
gree of interest. He has risen gradually,
snd, at this time, we doubt whether he
has a superior on the continent. There
are those who have more reputation, and
whose names are more familiar to fame
They have had the advantage of him in
location, and to that alone is to be at
tributed their superior distinction. In
Europe where the taste for the fine arts
is cultivated, he would soon rise to fame
