The Btiltish Institution. Taking Into Ac...
THE BTilTISH INSTITUTION . Taking into account—if such a thing he possible—all the care , labour , ¦ . . . . i t- _ i _ -I j „» n . m . tln . + Vio olio r » f /> nnvofj jtnn t . nft Partiinseeu iuaoi * ^» ~ , — ---
. A greater picture , in a higher class of art , but not so d « tiu t and origipal , is Louis Hughe ' s Choir of the Church of Santa Marta Novella . It is a wonderful piece of painting-mellower , even , than the water-colour productaxjus in which the artSt excels . This work , and the well-studied piece of nature , The Ptarmigans Hannt , painted by Woif , make n ? the three me «} Orablp pictures of the exhibition . ^ Essentially , differing m subject , ^^ J '^' ^ even capacity of labour , these three pictures are severally as ™ J *** £ ** as need be . Mr . Haghe ' s is the wafo which contains the most endence of study and labour ; but in each of the three we have named the study and labour are justly apportioned to the design ; and m each there » « Wg individuality , independent thought , without which the xnost studied cw > and labour would but have sufficed to make an agreeable painting , but one in no . irotr lilroitr * n Ko lono vftmfimhered .
Ve ha ve not credited Mr . Haghk ' s or Mr , Vof rt , « Mr . ^ JK Stone ' s picture with great importance or dignity of subject . Mr . Haghb 8 has most pTetension to be classed with the historical designs . But , ntnft the onlv thorougb-going effort of historical painting is Sir G - *^™ if Martyrdom of ° L * time ° r and Ridley , a conscientiously-executed design , more than equalling the expectation we had formed fromacquaintanceMmg the painter ' s style , and from hearsay concerning this particular work . With all the merit of earnestness and painstaking , howeve r , there is the old wan . t of natural strength and graee in this elaborate picture , and the effect ot its tame extravagance is to weary more than to impress . Mr . Da . wson gives us a naval picture . It is ^ ^ isfortuxe that to workhas no specific interest , for on losing sight of it we directly eo nf ^** * Jg with twenty others equally meritorious by the same hand . In ano ^ . part of theVlery we find a picture of a raft , with starving n ™™ " ? " * it , meant to be very striking , but too obvious a plagiarism , from the Wreck nf t . hp . Medusa . . _ . « . ¦ i- ^ -l J 1
If , in looking at George Cruiksh a . nk's Fairy tong , you f ^ T ^ ^ is not ditficult ^ -that it is a painting , you will pronounce *¦»«**«* £ any work of fancy lie has ever achieved . The perspective of bats , motionless on outstretched wings , and stationed at regular mtervals » a ™ J effective conceit ; while we recognise in the faces of the good ^ foik , scampering without any apparent purpose round a large m ushroom , the p . erfoSSnS 6 nZ \ CKSHAN K' ? own inimitable humour . ^ ° ^ f ^^^ ing is a painting . The attempt at colour is its weak part * ¦ ^ «? * Jj , "W is at once moonlight and misty , tliere is a general shade which hides , m . a ^ nr ^ lana ^ wmbe fbun d somc of ^ at beaut y , but th ^ lUeem to be repetitions . The best works are those of T . Danbt , ¦ J ™ % Bo » - ohnson h ^
dington , GiLB ERT , BrioeLl , andlJ . vv e reserve . c « . ~ . - for special mention , because this is the first ^*™*™ ^ ^^^ scape painter . His manipulation is almost as marvellous here as ^ m ^ flesh painting but he has not produced by any means ^^ good picture . Theloss inth is absorbed
of li ^ ht e centre , where it oy ionage as ^ * * ? « ££ lt ( which we suspect to have served as the nrst ^ sketch for / **« ™*>^* * $£ which strikes the eye directly . Mr . Sant should keep to thete ure We look impatiently for a picture from him worthy to be classud wto It * Woman taken in Adultery , a picture itself worthy to be classed with tne works of the great masters .
paint , stuuy , o-ua auu gum .,. v ., v » w ^^^ - . ^ - loads of " lay" silks and stuffs , of periwigs and armour , of carved tables , crooked chairs , and miscellaneous gimcrackery ; the reading up for subjects , and the private consultations about treatment and desigu ; all the necessities , in short , which the production of frve hundred and forty-three pictures implies , it is not a p leasant task to consider the result in this year s display at the British Institution . We declare that , of those five hundred and fortythree works , the odd three represents the number of pictures which will stand out distinctly and pleasantly , for any length of time worth mentioning , m our memory ; that some ten pictures besides occur to us , just now , as having pleased us while we looked at them ; that thirty more , perhaps , pleased us while we looked at them , too , though not even the marginal notes in the catalogue will call up a clear recollection of any one among the thirty—and tlint . ns for tho five hundred
ijifcet us recover our equanimity after the failure to find words weak enough tcFcharacterise the five hundred . We will begin criticism , calmly and methodically , with a notice of number one , in the catalogue . It is Mr . Frank Stone ' s A La Ducasse , Pas de Calais , and the first thing we have to say about the picture is , that it is one of the three we arc in no hurry to forget . If the artist has never painted a less pretending picture , it is equally true that'he has never painted a more complete and satisfying one . Description further than the merest statement , would be useless here . Mr . Stone has painted two real faces , and has dressed the figures belonging to them in trim peasant costumes , surrounding the faces themselves with saucy muslin caps that catching the breeze , disconcert the staidness of the wearers , just enough to make them look more piquant and more provolungly real . Once seen , the face ? are sure to be remembered j and not to see them , smiling on the dreary walls of the British Institution , is to miss a real , substantial p leasure—an honest return for the time and money expended in a vi « ih t . n ihet fi-nlWv . and for the trouble of hunting out the particular work .
