belongs to the moral class , or the death of AnaniaSj-vrhich . is both moral and physical , we see the main idea of the picture presented in its simplest form > and the figures that are accessory to the story , behaving in a mariner the most direct . The adoring crowd in the former cartoon , the figure of Paul rending his garments and weeping , are conceived in a spirit as simple as that of a bpy endeavouring to set forth the story in . Jiving figures . In the " Death of Ananias , " one apostle points to heaven * another deals the curse upon the liar , the sinner himself falls convulsed , the people around are startled and astounded , and the episode of the wife bringing the false tale of money to the apostles is scarcely an episode in the composition .
The simplicity of this conception is dictated by the fulness and richness of the painter's mind rather than by any meagreness of idea or barrenness of resources ; for it is accompanied by the utmost fertility and amplitude in the science of organic life and the outward expressions of passion . There are few of the pictures of Raphael which do not exhibit the same example of a striking idea , often a moral one , grasped with the most distinct firmness of purpose , expressed with a directness of youth , or it may be said of truth , and embodied with an abundance of organic power unknown to painters whose studies have been less accomplished . Taking this model as a standard , we might have some difficulty in findof the
ing an historical picture in the present exhibition JtCoyal Academy . There are , indeed , pictures whose painters must evidently be intended to take rank in that category—for example , Mr . Maclisp ' s of " Alfred in the Camp of Guthrum . " In spite of its hackneyed subject , it is intended to be a composition of much force , and the incident itself is very suitable to the treatment of historical painting ; but , when we investigate Mr . Maelise ' s composition , we are bound to reject his picture as one not having the slightest claim to be included in the list ; the main idea is frittered away in a number of episodes , so treated that each one attracts equal attention . The strange group on the left , engaged in some unintelligible occupation of astonishmentr--the not less strange group on the right in which one heated enthusiast is proposing a toast to another who
is " sewed up "—the hamper-full of revellers , packed immediately round the person of the royal invader—attract the attention quite as forcibly as the central figure of Alfred ; though he is watching under the rose as intently as if he were 3 Mr . Macready . JSTow , here is not one subject , but a scattering of subjects . As to the treatment , although Mr . Maclise has studied the human figure , and is able to present diagrams of its muscular construction even in action , with somewhat more anatomical exactitude than is usual in English painters , he seems so far to have missed the study of the human figure in the movements and aspects of life , that he has forgotten many matters , trifles in themselves , but essential to the true aspect of Vitality . He seems , for example , to have no acquaintance with the a ctual appearance of the skin ; and the edges of his eye-lids are often no
better than a caricature on the same feature in the knave of cards Tt colouring is a great improvement upon the picture of " Noah" ani + 1 of Mr . Kaclise ' s great works , — -less chalky , less opaque ; but still Kri ¦ ing essentially to the style which is fitted for paper hanffinws ^ V 1 " powdery colour , with harsh heavy outline . Through this dust and not ? of vehement pigments , of these : convulsive diagrams and scattered sodes , the spectator has so muchdifficulty in penetrating to the subi ^ I " that the picture may less be called an historical painting than an V torical shindy . ' ' I 1 ! S < * J * J *? " ^^^ 4 ft ' M * . Armitage has evincedhia de 8 itrt
„ _ , " ^ : re follow in the steps of the greatest masters . The action is simple tii colour is natural , the outline is vigorous , the treatment Is direct- ' u there is a kind of factitious pose in the attitude of the Hagar , suggested by the studio rather than by the observation of nature in its extreme of passion ; and the excessively bald treatment of the picture places t father among the category of drawings and sketches , than amongst tW of completed works . It is the product of an amateur who appre ciate the great masters , but who has been ^ hinking of their mariner rather than of the subject which he had undertaken to embody .
Perhaps the sole approach towards an historical picture , treated with anything resembling perfeetness of composition and directness of purpose , is to be found in Mr . _ Ward ' s " Execution of Charlotte Corday ' " The picture is , in many respects , an immense improvement on the previous works by the same artist . The subject is much graver and more Weighty ; there is considerable success in the aim at the couleur locale in the character , the expression , and the physical information , which to the English eye have much of the French type about them . If the portrait of Charlotte Corday somewhat violates historical description , which , would give ner dark auburn hair { chdtain noir ) and blonde complexion , instead of black hair and dark eyes , there is still much of majesty , resolution , and direct purpose in that sad severity of lip and brow , that calm , fixed , onward
look , soft and bright as woman , tranquil as a saint , serenely exultant as a martyr , sternly beautiful as an avenging angeU In spite of its -petit maitre costume , the figure of Hobespierre is still recognizable as that of " the Sea-green Incorruptible . " Danton , the type of brutal bonhomie , looks butcher enough ; but Camille Desmoulins is scarcely airy and spirited enough in his countenance and bearing . The principal defects of the composition , however , are that the dame de la lialle , or Parisian fishfag , who is fiercely insulting the heroic victim , occupies too prominent a
position in the picture , and the gendarme , with , his back towards you , fills far too large a proportion of the canvas ; so that the eye is arrested upon minor and even negative accessories of the subject . Still , upon the whole , the main idea stands forth with much vigour ; the speetatorls sufficiently filled with it , and remains impressed by the simple truth which it conveys—the indomitable strength of woman ' s devotion , and of that fanaticism which is but ^ the ecstacy of faith .
