Society Of British Artists. The Present ...
vpMce "Ward's-white paint to surf , you must go so far back , that the Jrther parts of the picture are dimmed : to the sight . The general effect of the gallery is painful , from a certain quiet monotonr Siesubjects are too generally of the class of still life , not in the technical sense , but in that of presenting life , human or rural , without action or motion . A " noolc , '' a comely face , a tranquil scene , a figure decently posed—the very step of the curator iti the room , seems to break stillness like that of the sict chamber . . , ¦ " ¦ - V ;; .
..-a ; ; Even the mannerists cannot quicken the faint atmosphere . Zeitter ' s dashing , splashing sketches of Hungarian life ; "Woolmer ' s Tempting Ladies , or even his epics—andthe " Expulsion , " is really not without a certain poetic force in the rocky desolation , —contrasted with the sugared sunshine above : or Anthony ' s Sampsonesque dragging down of Nature on his own sho ulders , cannot stir up sufficient life for the whole . They . qiienced down by the placid assemblage , like an enthusiast in the
House of Lords . Anthony , who drags forth ivy-clad church and brookside tree into a kind of black reality—who paints a leaf with painful intrusiveness of its palpable details , and unadorned eloquence of outline- — who proves his brancn . so unmistakably that a coroner's jury would not hesitate in their verdict—but dashes in the human beings as mere accessories to the flower and the leaf—Anthony , who in moody ferocity would fain woo nature by assault , cannot disturb Hering ' s blase Arab and Favourite , nor make those eternal four horses' heads lift themselves from the trough—or , how they would wonder ! Mogford has painted a brace of Girls' Bathing ; one of them shrinking as the other helps her into the stream . The picture hangs so that we could not see it to advantage ;• but there appeared to us in it truth and power of action , modest , and not feeble . This painterappears to us also to be imitating nature—and Watts . A clever man is "Watts , but in himself , with his panel-like surface , more than half a mannerist . Mogford is one of the promisers : we hope he is young .

The New, Print In "The Vermttt Gallery."...
THE NEW , PRINT IN " THE VERMttT GALLERY . " Among the pictures to be specially remembered by visitors to the Vernon Gallery , E . M . Ward ' s lively and brilliant " Scene in Change Alley , during the agitation of the South Sea Bubble , " takes a foremost rank . From this work , Mr . J . Carter has just produced an engraving which will appear in a forthcoming number of the Art-Journal ; and which is , in every respect , by far the best print that has yet been issued in the series called u The Vernon Gallery ^ ' The difficulties of the task confided to the engraver must , in this instance , have been immense . He has had to reproduce , on a surface-of some ten inches by seven , a large picture , elaborately composed , filled throughout with figures , and mainly ^ dependent for its effect , on the truth and variety of its " characters , " as
represented —* and admirably represented -r in their faces . It is only doing common justice to Mr . Carter to say , that he has thoroughly succeeded in his undertaking . Confined as the scale is on which he has been obliged * o work , he has preserved the expressions of the faces in the original picture with marvellous accuracy—not merely in the foreground figures , but in those in the background as well . Indeed , throughout the whole of this beautiful print , the conscientiousness of the workmanship is to the full as remarkable as the ingenuity . JNTothing ia slurred over , nothing left unequal , in any corner * look where you will : and this exquisitely high finish , like - all good and genuine finish , derogates nothing from the general effect . Looked at , as a whole , the print is delightfully brilliant and harmonious , and suggests , in its sober livery of black and white , the idea of sparkle and colour , as only line engraving can , when produced by a first-rate hand . It is merely doing a duty to the public thus to draw their attention , beforehand , to this work , a work which it is no exaggeration of praise to characterize as a credit to the English School of Engraving , and as enough of itself to make Mr . Carter's reputation .
The Two Woelds.—Etirope Doe^ Not Astonis...
The Two Woelds . —Etirope doe ^ not astonish us by those vast spaces which the neighbouring continent of Asia possesses . Its highest mountains do not much exwpd half the height of the Himalaya and the Andes . Its plateaus , those of Bavaria and Spain , hardly deserve the name , by the side of those of Tibet ami of Mexicp . Its peninsulas ave trifling in comparison with India and Arabia . There is nothing in it to compare with those great rivers wMch water the boundless plains of Asia and America , and which are their , pride ; or with those virgin forests , which cover immense regions , and make them impenetrable to man ; or with those deserts , whose startling and terrible aspect appals us by their , immensit y . We see in Europe neither the exuberant fruitfulness of the tropical regions , nor the vast frozen tracts of Siberia ; neither the overwhelming heats of the equator , nor those extremes of cold which annihilate all organic life . —Ghcyofs Earth and Man . Tiie Continentxl Cmmate . — The continental climate does not give to the vegetation an appearance of such exuberance , but tho variety of the soil , tho frequent alternations of plains , table lands , mountains , valleys , and of different aspects , secui'o to it an almost infinite variety of different species and forms . Tho dryer and warmer air concentrates the vegetable saps , elaborates them bettor , so to speak , and gives them that strong and aromatic character which the plants of ikm oceanic islands rarely possess . The animals are inoro vi gorous and larger , tho species more numorous , tho types more varied . Tho lion , tho tiger , tho elephant , all the kings of the brute creation , have never jived elsewhere than on tho continents , or on the contmontal islands . Man himself is more animated , more active , more intelligent , and endowed with a stronger jv » l ; ma word , Mb is more intense , and raised to a "ighor degree , by tho variety and tho movement iinjH'CHsed "P ° ft by tho contrasts that form tho very waoncojgthit , cliimtQ .-.

Mr. Leslie, R.A. It Is Rumoured In The W...
MR . LESLIE , R . A . It is rumoured in the world of art , that Mr . Leslie , K . A ., contemplates resigning his post as lecturer on painting in the Royal Academy . In the event of that resignation really taking place , it is hardly possible to characterize too strongly the loss that will be sustained , not merely by _ the students and members of the Royal Academy , but by a much wider circle to whom the art supplies one of the intellectual enjoyments of life . Mr . Leslie ' s lectures are invaluable as new contributions of the higher order , to the somewhat scanty literature of painting ; and if he be really about to leave a vacancy in his office , we hope to see them published in an available form , by way of some compensation for what we are about to lose . The reason stated for Mr . Leslie ' s contemplated retirement is an unanswerable one : he finds that his labours at the desk , entailed by the preparation of his lectures , keep him too often absent front Ms labours at the easel .
Sir Joshua Eetnolds's "Tragic Muse."—Eng...
Sir Joshua Eetnolds ' s " Tragic Muse . "—Engraved by Joseph Webb . —Heynolds ' s portrait of Mrs . Siddons , enthroned in a classic supremacy , has always been popular , from its freedom and breadth of efiect , its life-like air , its individuality and ideality combined . There have been many versions of it from the graver , varying An their several qualities . The one before us is in the mixed line and mezzotint style ; not the best style , but one which , in some degree , combines the precision and clearness of the graver with a more moderate price . The character is well ^ caught ; and the effect , # f somewhat black and heavy , is not destitute of power , conveying a fair idea of Eeynolds ' picture as it new looks .
