T THERE is now on exhibition, at Messrs. G. W.
Macfarlane Il Co.'S, a beautiful display OF oil
paintings, water-colors, and colored photographs,
from the celebrated Art Gallery of Morris d Ken
utuNb vi HIdllClSCO, comprising u StlGtttu III
voice from the art treasures of that well-known
Gallery. The most noticeable of the collection is
a pair of fower-pieces in oil by NJ. J. Wood, an
artist of considerable repute, and which were
favorably noticed at the last Art Exhibition in San
Francisco. The composition is graceful, and the
drawing particularly good, and replete with care
full and conscientious detail. The handling of the
colors is highly artistic and effective, and shows
the artist in his very best vein. We can safely say
that nothing approaching these two pieces, in
fidelity of detail and artistic effect, have ever before
been seen on these Islands. Another picture, by
the well-known artist Norton Bush, of a tropical
scene is also deserving Of attention. The peculiar
effect of atmosphere is well handled, and the luxu-
RANT richness of the vegetation, and the peaceful
serenity of the scene makes it a truly charming
picture. Mr.. Bush is an artist of extended reputa-
ton, and justly celebrated for his studies of tro-
pical scenery. There are also several exquisitely-
colOred photographs from celebrated masters,
which will not fail to attract general attention,
among whom are noticed the names Of Nibert,
Wagner, Marck, and others Of equal
We understand that a portion Of this
will be on view at the Art Loan Exhi-
bition.
