The Kensctt Pictures.
All the evenings Of next week are to be de-
voted, at Association Hall, to the sale of pictures
by the late John F. Kensett. The pictures more
than five hundred in number, and comprise spec-
mems of some OF Kensett's best works. We have
never seen any collection which presented so vast
and triumphant view OF the powers OF any one
artist Mr.. Kensett's sympathes were true and
profound. He loved almost all the aspects OF nature,
and his soul was impregnated with the rich and
delicate tints that are found in glowing
sunrise and sunsets, forests tangled with
shadow, glitterlng mists, and quaint, moss
covered labyrinths The present exhibition
which is held in the Academy of Design, is entirely
free. 1t is a wonderful evidence Of his industry,
enthusiasm and Skill Kensett was q genius in
one of the purest and best senses of that term.
His heart was large enough to sympathize over the
boiler" while his talents and his opportunities
were SO large as to lit him completely above such
necessities himself. He podded none the less for
enjoying so large measure OF inspiration.
He depended not on moods, but on methods
painted In season and ont OF season, and may
the brush and palette in hand. We are not
surprised at the vast extent Of labor OF
which the present exhibition is specimen. The
profound homage. few pictures by 6e6er artists
are found interspersed among those OF Kensett
Thus we find the names sfMignot Gray, Champney,
Litschauer. Bears, Benson, GUIDE, lnness wyant,
Rosslter, Gay, Eastman Johnson, Boughton,
