one has the courage to run against him,
and he will have a "walk oyer' this
time.

FRENCH MARINE AND LANDSCAPE PAINTERS.
IsaDey ls the only Frencnman who
ever painted marine W orth looking at
a second time, and he Is now very old; /;
but he is a magnificent cBlorist, and did
some very nice tbtngs long ago. The re-
mainder, Jules Dupre (wno is, however,
a good landscape painter( }, Vsrnier, ETC.,
know nothing either of sn.ps or the sea
AT least, there is little in their paint

they all perpetrate in them the simples
errors in perspective, such as one would
look for in vain in their poorest land

landscape The French artist is at home
and here, amidst pastoral scenes or rep-
resenta,lons oil Oriental effects, we find
a great school OF poetry that reminds us
alternately OF The0critus, or the
Bucolics of Virgil, or the third ana
fourth cantos ot'Childe Harold.' France

Thomas Rousseau, and Jean Baptiste
Camille Carrot, eacn entirely different III

agreed IN looking at nature not only for
what she seems 10 the visual eye, but
still more for what she suggests TO the
soul. They were men endowed not only
with exquisite keenness OF vision in de-
tecting the Aarmonies of the visible
word, and admirable perception OF
color and technical ability, but they
were also men Of thought, VI imagina-
tion, OF vasL poetic iesling.. But they
are dead. Claude came alone, and left
no SUCCESSORS behind him for century
and half, while the two latter may also
be said TO have lett none after them
their peers in pure landscape. Lambinet,
