Colonel Blood's Attempt to steal the experiment to unite the Venetian Regalia from the Tower of Lon-style of execution with simplicity has don.-H. P. Briggs. "He went disguised as a clergyman, with two associates, and after beating the keeper, carried off the crown, globe, &c."-Rapin's History. This is a very clever picture, painted in the same style as the artist's Guy Fawkes, in the Academy last year. The determined energy of Blood, and the struggles of the overpowered keeper, are expressively portrayed: the colouring, though in general good, has in one or two parts of the back-ground a hardness which might have been avoided. The Interview between Lady Jane Grey and Dr. Roger Ascham, in 1550.-H. Fradelle. "Dr. Roger Ascham, on a visit to the family of the Marquis of Dorset, at his seat at Broadgate, found, at his arrival, that Lady Jane Grey was alone, the rest of the family being engaged in a hunting party; and gaining admission to her apartment, he, to his great wonder, found her reading the Phado of Plato, in the original Greek, which she perfectly understood. She observed to him, that the sport which her friends were enjoying was but a shadow, compared with the pleasure she received from this sublime author."-See Miss LUCY AIKIN'S Memoirs of the Court of Queen ELIZABETH. This is a beautiful little picture, and in the artist's best style of elaborate finishing: the expression of the accomplished and unfortunate lady is mild and intelligent; that of the doctor is respectful and contemplative: the folds of the dresses are broad and tasteful. Maternal Affection.-W. Etty. succeeded, contrary to the precept of Sir Joshua Reynolds. The Spartan Boy.-T. Stewardson. In this little portrait there is a good deal of sombre and expressive cha racter. A 4 Park Scene, with Sportsmen and Springers, and a distant View of Leeds Castle.-Miss O. G. Reinagle. This is a pretty landscape; the colouring bright and agreeable. Carolus, the Hermit of Tong Castle, Staffordshire.-W. Hobday. The expression deep and contemplative; the attitude grave and imposing: parts of the drapery are well cast, but that behind the head looks unseemly, as if detached. The Inquisition: a Sketch.- Ph. Corbould. A repulsive subject, with many redeeming points in the execution: the chiaro-scuro is well managed. Cottages in Scenery.-S. V. Bone. The scene is natural, and well painted. Atalanta and Meleager.-George Arnold, A. R. A. "Her bow the lovely Atalanta strained, The well-sped dart forsook the quivering yew, And to the distant mark unerring flew; Close at his ear the shaft a passage found, And the first blood ensued the fair one's wound." This is a very clever composition, from Ovid's story. The landscape is rich and beautiful, and full of pleasing masses, contrasted and relieved with great skill. The group Sunset.-Wm. Lewis, composition and exquisite colouring;ing is also well managed. This artist has a good deal of me and the Titianesque (as Mr. Fuseli rit, and this picture in many parts would call it) tone of colouring pre- | exemplifies it, but it is deficient in dominates with powerful effect. This clearness of tone. Bolton Priory, Moonlight.-T. C. || A general View of the Inthroniza A View near the Town-Hall, Guild ford.-Charles Deane. | tion of his Most Excellent Majesty King George IV.-Frederick Nash. This picture was, if we mistake not, in the Royal Academy. It is a correct representation of that part of the magnificent ceremony of the coronation which took place in Westminster Abbey. Song of Death.-H. Corbould. The subject is from Burns's Poems: the principal figure is well drawn, and full of character: the colouring is in many parts creditable to the artist. Fruit and still Life.-N. Chantrey. This artist has two very pleasing little pictures in this Exhibition: they are soft and delicate representations of fruit and flowers, touched with a skilful hand. The Interior of a Stable.-E. Childe. A very well executed sketch, both in drawing and colouring. Felpham Mill.-P.Dewint. This is a clever landscape: the colouring clear and natural. Skating on the Serpentine River, Hyde Park.-J. J. Chalon. There is a great deal of bustle in this picture; but the colouring, probably from its unavoidable whiteness, has a monotonous effect. This is a very well executed view, and in fine perspective: the colouring is a little too bright and sparkling for mere architectural objects. Christ Instituting the Sacrament. - new work, the same splendid colour Wm. Brockedon. A calm and solemn air, a plain and chaste tone of colouring, corresponding with the subject, characterize this picture. Wild Boars attacked.-H. B. Chalon. A good animal painting, full of spirit, and well coloured. Syrinx.-John Martin. Again we have, in Mr. Martin's ing as in his former pictures, but too vivid for any scenery of which nature suggests to us any recollection. The Social Pinch.-A. Fraser. A good piece of grouping, and full of national character. Miss E. Jones's Little Rosette and Jacquelin, Miss H. Reinagle's |
