Cleveland morning leader. [volume] (Cleveland [Ohio]) 1854-1865, 1864-02-25

A SWISS LANDSCAPE
by Mueller. This picture will attract ev-
erybOdy by the richness and perfection Of
its finish. Standing before it, the close
observer can almost hear the impetuOus
rush Of mountain torrents, as they foam
in fury about the rocks. He dreams Of
sweet cottage on the mountain side, where
the turmoil ofthe great world is unknown;
where, amid the wild scenes Of nature,
plenty and pesce may dwell.
Another painting that will make you
pause to contemplate its wOndrous perfec-
ton Of detail, is
TIE KAMELEss RILL.
jiWinding its mysterious way among the
tangled vines and ferns, and through the
deep hidden recesses Of impenetrsble
woods, it carries you away from the noisy
world of business into the deep quiet and
serenejo joy Of nature.
POULTRY,
by Lemmens; picture owned by R. K
Winslow, and costing $500, will not strike
the careless observer, but will rapidly win
the critical eye Of the artist. Chanticleer
and his gay troop of lady hens and chicks
are before you in all their glory. The
mOssed stone, the well, the house, the sky,
everything is of the rsrest and most deli
cate workmanship.
AUTUMN IN THE WHITE MOUNTAINS,
by VIM. Hart is Of rare beauty. The col
oring is remarkably rich. Also
VIEW IN CONNECTICUT,
which is by James Hart, brother Of Will
liam, will attract attention for its truth
fulness to nature. Especially is the sky
lovely and true sky. These last two, we
believe, are both owned by R. K. Wins
low.
After these come q series Of which Ne
have not room to speak in detail, among
which are The Stag at Bay, by Allen
Smith, from q. P. Weddell; A Landscape,
by Mignot, from Henry Clark, most
charming specimen Of art; The Professors
of the Medical College; Portrait of Judge
Pease, from Mrs. John Irwin Paul and
Virginia, by Weir, and Landscape and
Cattle, both owned by Jas. F. Clark. The
latter Of the two is a work Of high order.
SAN JUAN,
from a sketch by DR.. Newberry, in New
Mexico, and painted by b. H. Wyant is
fine view of the Cordillerss Of that region,
and powerfully impresses the spectator.
Then follows portrait of Mrs. DR.. ster-
ling, by Rossiter; q landscape on the
Kanawha, owned by 7. P. Handy a storm
Of wind on the Moor, by Van stalkenberg,
owned by the Rev. F. A. stsrkey; also,
The Chicken Coop, painted by Sanford
Mason Of Philadelphia, and owned by Mr..
starksy The susquehsnns River: win
ter scene by MsrzOui, and owned by A.
Stone, with much feeling in il, in the con-
temptation of which, one instinctively
shtinks from the storm wind of cold that
is blowing down the mountain side upon
lhe belsted travellers Poor Relations, by
Frank Green, who contributes two others,
aluo Head of St. Paul, owned by James
Mason.
Mr.. Cleveland contributes a copy Of
Rembrandtin in his Studio, painting orig
inslly made with red hot poker and
knife.
Ofseversl of Mr.. Clough's pictures, we
have already spoken, but there arc three
others deserving the highest praise North
Woods, A Sunset Scene and Camers back
mountain, in the Wyoming Valley.
Some of ROssitter's paintings are on the
way to Cleveland, one of them worth &c.
900. There is also a painting for sale,
The Spirit Of 1854, from Erie, Pennsylvs-
MIA, by Mrs. C. J. Cara. AgrOnp Of Three
Ohio Soldiers, by Frank Tuttle OfPslmyrs,
which shows natural talent.
The Committee at work in this depart
ment of the Sanitary Fair are entitled to
great credit for their industry and taste
and are being rewarded by the crowds that
are beginning to thrOng the Fine Art Hail
night and day. No more contributions
for the Fine Art Hall are needed, except
such as are to be sold for the benefit of
the Fair. Let every body 60 to the Fine
Art Hall, third story Of the Court House,
and they will agree with us that it is
matchless in taste and besuty.
We have been obliged to omit mention
Of some works of rare beauty and power,
and must defer further notice.
THE MUSEUM.
The stranger, who tired with the sights
Of this present time, desires to wander
through the past, will find in the Museum
sufficient to make him forget to-day in his
wonder over the past and the foreign.
There have already been upwards of two
entries in this department of the
Great Sanitary Fair. 1t is situated in the
third story Of the Court House, and should
be visited by every stranger and citizen in
the city,
On entering the first room of the Muse
um, you are introduced in the midst Of q
varied collection Of curiosities from the
fields Of Geology, MinerallOgy, Zoology, |
sc.
There are shells and stuffed birds,
snakes, lizards, &C., in alcoholic prepsrs-
ions. The insect world, even in this cold |
season, is we'll represented. They have
concluded to add their quota to the Great
Sanitary Fair Insects from foreign lands,
