A Work by a Chicago Palntor, St. Mark’s Cathedral, Venice.

Dyer, who shawn bis work for the first timo in thia city, at tho outablishmont of Janson, MoClurg & Co. Bt. Mark's sooms o favorito study with mony of our artists, and truly it would bo difiioult to find o flner tost for colors than Is afforded by tho Orlontal siylo of docoration which males this Cathedral & wondor In the Wost. Though tho variely of its colora aud tholr prosenco ovarywhere is what firat strikos tho obsorvor, yot tho architooturo has o fenturo common to all great monuments, which makos the drawing oqually diffioult, and yet may nob bo observaed on a firt visit. Tho slnpoof cor- responding arches Io not idontical, Tho buildor was not influonced wholly by his measuring in- strumonts, but allowed his feoling for beauty to Influonco the arrangoment of his linos. Truly grent ort affords fow instsuces of mo- ohanical ropotition, and it hna been a taek ro- served for a cortain gohool of modorn art to re- duco tho old laws of syminetry to tho roquire- mont that, for an ornnmont on ono side, thoro must be tho snmo ornament on the othor. 0ld King Louis of uavaria thought he had modo a visit to Athens unnocossnry by xopro- ducing the Propylmum at Munich; but his arohitact wag only capablo of reproducivg, after & mochanical fashion, somo of the main features of tho form, and proved that the meaning of tho gront monument ontiroly escaped all his mons- uring. Tho nllie of Athens ssw theiwr monoy spent, and bad rongon to be inconsed ; but it was thele privilege to sootho their foclings of resentmont by tho dolight affordod thom by the artistio proportions of the old Propy~ loum, the only fit vostibulo to tho inner splondor of *glorious Athope,” Ontho othor hand, tho Bavarians havo nover hadanyaocount of tho mill- fons of indemnity received by King Louls from Tronco; but what havo thay to soothio in any way their just feoling of wrong? A puny littlo building which menans notling to thom sndwhich is o continued insult to tho memory of Poricloo, ‘I'hoso who are guided by this iden of mochan- fenl correspondence, and, applying it horo, think thot ono sido-alulo mnet oxactly corre- spond to tho othor, will be displessed {f thoir solf-cateom doos not allow thom to bo mortified on discovoring that thors is nothing to_corre- spond to the Armenian c_hlq{;:l in tho right aielo of St. Alark’s, and thoy will ‘bo grioved to notico that tho piles havo givon away in somo plaoos more than in others, thus making tho pavemont slightly unovon, ns indeod is npparont in this ieturo. - 5 The light of tho plcturo is concontrated on thisbeautiful Armonian chnpol,—n roof of alabas- tor supported by vari-colored columns of coatl: Eastern marblos with gilded capitals. The ricl mosalo floor beneath recoives ity sharo of light. This surface was originally polishod nud highly rofloctive; buk it Is now worn into hnlf-dimnoss, and benrs witness to the roligious dovotions of cight conturies of woralipors. ‘Had St, Mark’s been built in our iime, and wore wo now ju the year of Our Lord 2600, wo ean suppose that this pavemont would bo vory seriously marred from tho samo causo; though, 1f w0 recollect tho fate of tho 01d South, we may be justified in suspnpiug that an ill-condi- tioned Post-Offico, Custom-Touse, or County- Hospital would bo all that wo could find of old Bt. Mark's. To roturn to iho pleturo: Tho light is go brill- innt that tho pavement, wom though it s, pas- tinlly rogains its roflective powor, put only to suggost tho main lights oud shodows of tho cowposition,—for nothing like o firm outlive can bo seou licra in rofloction. ‘Pl solf-control exhibited fn tho damponed roflection is ono of the conspicnous merits of ¢ artint,—for, by this moderation, ho bLas pro- sorved for the oyo what nono who has visited £, Mark's would consent to take from it, » por- foctly olear outlino of tho oclagonal fgures ond Byzantine designs which™ oro eproad undor tho foet of the worahipors, —-Kurhu 8 to faintly suggoat to tho dovout miud thoe golden pavementy of $ho Now Jorusalem.

It would be well if it wero still trno that this payoment is preserved ; but, though this was {ruo s yesr ago, it iy not true now. This portion of tho Joftaislo was inspaciad last yeas, and found to have beon 8o loug kopt without re- paiting that it could uot bo sestored by pateling. Accordingly thoy aro now repairing, aud th pavement oxists onlg in_ paintings from 8t Mark's by Neol, Uyer, Yowell, Coloman, and o fow othiors, Lok this fook excuso 80 ox* tonded o mention of tl\nrnvnmout in this place. Tho writer must uot forget, in his regrota at tho loss of this pavemont, to notico & miscon- coption which L found placo in some notices of this pictnre. It bina boon objected that the light is too brilliant, But this is most ovidently amistako, 1t is trno that tho key of light i moro highly pitchod than the ordinary low tone of Bt. Mark's, which suggosta distanco and mys- tery, instead of splondor and richuess. The or- dwary tono of the church may Lo seen in tho backgronnd hero, or, still better (bocauso ontirely soparated and freod from tho brighton- ing sunlight which porvaded the church when this picture was painted), in the littlo skotch which hangs beneatls tho ploturo at present. Every ons who has been long in Venico lins seen_Bt, Mark's undor tho conditions of light which oceur in this picture; and all such, I am suro, will join in snying that thereis nothing exaggorated in this brilliancy. Lot us rathor thank the artist who has dared to depart from tho beaten track, and give us this briltiant phage of 8t. Mark's. "Tho first duty of an artlst in painting any ple- turo is to Boize overy yiow of his subject within his ecope, and thop to eolect one in particulars This ho thon accontuates, neither too much nor too littlo; and to this choson phase ho subordi~ nntes and encrifices auy discordant dotnila. In o word, & true artiat is nothing logs than o living machine, His feoling wund ap- reciation _ always should govern _ his rugh, In the present caso, it I in- terprat tho picture undor examination cor- rectly, it was not boforo all things, tho gloomy mystic St. Mark's that was to bo given us, We aro not to }maplu thoso shadowa with the grim members of the Bcorot Council, Horo wo must think of tho Cumnival, of tho magnificenco of Venice, not of its horrors, It was quite in cons sonanco with this view to select tho timo of year whon 8t.
