stitHte Gallery.
DR.. Rimmer. Director Of the School OF Design ut
the Cooper Institute. has completed painting upon
the subject OF 'Cupd Relating his Adventures
TO Venus" Although the subject has been
treated heretofore by able masters, we doubt
whether II has been more successfully managed
tnan IN the present instance The harmony
and warmth Of coloring throughout, the
boIdness and deph OF the shadow and the really ex-
quisite beauty and brllliance Of the centra lights
show that Dr. Rimmer has sudied closely the meth
DDS OF the Old masters and his own genus has en-
abled him to avoid tner errors. The pa ming has
been purchased bY wealthy connolsseur $40 0O0

lion as Director of the School OF Design, we hope
for tue sake OF the culture OF true In this city IS
not correct.
