INE LYDIAN GALLERY. ‘The establishment in Chicago of a perma- nent institution for the exhibition and sale of the works of artists of undoubted merit and | recognized standing is an event of more than ordinary interest in art. circles, since it affords to the public the opportunity to see good pictures and buy them if they feel so disposed, and in this wa y enlarge the gen- eral knowledge and perchance the patronage of ar€-in Chicago; while to the artist is offered the privilege of an alyantageous dis- play of his work and of being brought in contact With people who have the inclination and.the means to become possessed of Rood - pietures. Mention has already been made ot the opening of this permanent institution, the Lydian Art Gallery, whieh oceurred last ‘Shursday evening, when there were present at the private view a Jarge gathering of ladies and gentlemen interested_in ari, including many of the artists of Chicago. It is under- stood to be the poliey of the manage ment to. keep continually on exhibition a collection of fine paiutings, eting a small admission fee to meet incidental ex- penses, and introducing new and attractive pictures from time to lime as those previ- ously on view shall have been sold or with- drawn, Anexeellent beginning has been nade as regards the character of the works displayed, among them being several of ex- veplional merit and interest, while the col- lection as a Whole, consisting as it does en- tirely of canvases never before shown in ! Chicago. is worthy of public attention. ‘The first picture which arrests the atten- tion as one enters the rear gallery. in whieh the choicest paintings are hung, is William Hart's “Last Gleam.” It has the place of honor at the end of the room, and well do it deserve that distinction, for not often do one's eyes gaze Upon a more quiet, restful, and satisfactory view than this. Ln the fore- ground, which is denselyshaded at the right, the shadows of evening are beginning to fall. Some cattle, perfects painted, as Uart’s always are, are wending their Way up the dusty road.

Ina letter addressed to several gentlemen of influence in this city about three years ago, previous to Mr. John Donoghue’s study abroad, his most appreciative friend and ad- mirer, David Neal, spoke of him in terms of the highest praise, saying he felt that he should be neglecting his manifest duty did he fail to present to their notice this promis- ing artist, who could not fail to become an honor to his city if it were possible for him to pursue his studies under favorable cir- cumstances, adding that had it not been for the assistance of friends freely given, he himself could never have achieved his present success. This kind and flattering letter secured Mr. Don- oghue commissions which enabled him to work one year in Paris, where he hopes in the future to complete his studies. Mention was made some time ago of the fact that Mr. Donoghue, who was an exhib- itor in the Paris Salon of last year, where he received honorable mention for a bust of Phédre, expected the arrival here of the cast. It came last week, adorned with the number it bore in the Salon, and the following quite literal transtation from “A Dictionary of the Salon” will undoubtedly. be of interest to many who may well feel proud of the recog- nition which their talented young townsman has received abroad: The stepmother of Hippolytus bends her Royal and noble. he prey to the most blind and ungovernabte io.

Musical Precocity of ‘‘Little Heinrich Neal,” Aged Eight Years. - We extract from a private letter from Munich the following portion concerning | ition of palntlngs of the Art j 1 the recent ex! Union in that city and the great success of our already distinguished American artist, Mr. David Neal: Municu, March, 18% - « « . I know you willbe much interested in hearing éf the recent Art Union Exhibition here, and pa friend, Mr. David Neal’s, two last pictures, as you have so often heard M— speak of him, Lwish he were as well known in America as here In Rurope! Some day ho will be, and that he is not is but the natural conse- quence of his long absence from there; for you know he has been over here eighteen years, with only two visits to his old home (Lowell, Mass.). Ile is none the less a loyal“ american even now, but so deeply and care- fully has he studied first under his beloved inaster Piloty, and since then to perfect and realize his instructions as well.as his ideals, that he has only torn himself away with difficulty from his serious work. serious in the sense of being earnest and very conscientious,—two elements of a great and real artist, llow queikly the fippant and meretricious annoys and disgusts when more than the passing glance is given! [ am put quite out of patience with the empti- ness of two-thirds of the pictures I see in eyery exhibition. Mr, Neal has told me that could he deny his individuality and be more material, it would be easy for him to acquire a hasty and effective style which would give momentary satisfaction, but he takes too earnest a view of his mission, and in the production of his thoroughly-studied historical works there is a research, [avor, and expense which few laymen could imag- ine. His “First Meeting of Marie Stuart and Rizzio,” which has been so endlesly pho- tographed and engraved, is full proof of all this, for it grows in charm and beauty tlie | more one sees it. Wis “JAMES WATT” watching the steaming of the tea-kettle, which is owned by Sir B. L. Phillips in Lon- don, isa very interesting and beautiful in- terior, artistic in all its details,—the great fire-place, with its logs of wood resting upon For he is * urticularly of the great suecess of our | j | Hl ! quaint old andirons, the tea-kettle above it : hung by the old-time pothooks and hangers, the polished plates and queer jugs on the shelf above, the cat dozing on the rug,—all these accessories throwmg out the figure of young Watt, whose books and slate are neglected as he sits with his head resting on his hand, watehing with thoughtful expression the steam hissing and pufling from the mouth of the kettle. ‘The kindly face of the mother looks in at a door in the backrround which she holds open with one hand, in the other holding a nap- kin, as she has apparently just risen from a table in the room beyond, where the father is seen seated at the table enjoying the meal, All this is beautifully arranged, and the effect of the lights is very skillful. LATER WORKS, out what I want to tell you of now are not nis former works, many of which you know, but the later ones, of which we have known the progress, and which have been making such a sensation here. I cannot do better than to give you some extracts from the newspapers here, which will convey an idea of the situation. “La Chatelaine’ M— will remember seeing in the Paris salon last summer, so it willseem quite familiar to her. The Frankfurter Zeitung, published in Frankfort-on-the-Main, is the largest and most important newspaper in Germany, and. is equal to the New York Herald or Tribune in quantity and quality. In its issue of March 17, 1831, it says under the head of “Correspondence from Munich ‘This week's exhibition of the Art Union con- tains much that {fs interesting and of superior excellence. The chief centres of nttraction are two pictures by David Neal, “0 Strahl des Lichts df dringest binnb in jede Grilft.

The Suddeutsehe Presse is the best, news- paper here in Munich, and isa sort of Court journal. In its issue of March 17 itsays: ‘The fact that under our predominating art influences there Is an inclivation to return twa severity of style of representation, is sure of producing excellent results; and thit not in the urubition only to paint mere realistic tmita- tions of nature, but by #2 direct nppeul to our ident feelings, rests the success of making 8 deep and lasting impression, which a real work of art imust do. is plainly demonstrated in the picture exbibited by David Neal. A couple of lines of Ubiand's poem “ O Strabl des Liehts dringest hinab in fede Griift.” are the poet’s words whleb suggest the artist's subject, and which the paloter illustrates In'a bighly poetical Manner through the figure of a nun wrapt in pious devotion. The rays of suntight which break down into the crypt across a crucifix illuminate with, delicate warmth the beautiful, noble furm of the kueeling girl before the altar.’ The finely-concelved figure so rich Ju sentiment is, a9 xre_ the architectural sure roundings, an example of elegant technical ex- ecution and refined color. A. second pleture by thesame artist, entitled * Ln Chatelaine,” astudy head of a young lady, bas brilliant technical qualities, ns Well ns an expression of face highly sympathetic. Such productions ts these must decitledly awaken a far higher and more insting interest than all other kind of work, no matter how skillfully painteg, when only tere inttta- Uons of nature and utterly devoid of tho true artistic element. The Landbote, of Munich, also an im- portant paper, in its issue of the same date, says: The most important of the works on exhibition is a nun at her devotions by Neal.

I wish I could give you better transfations of the articles, as these are quite naworthy of the originals,—they are so excellently well written. But it would take a better pen than mine to give the full sense. M— will remember seeing the “ Consolation” in Mr. Neal's atelier when only fairly begun, and, knowing its beauty there, will fully appreci- ate these praises now. It combines two qualities seldom seen in works of the present day—viz.: a serenity of form and style and very great technical ex- cellence, as you must See by these notices of it. -The latter one, from the Landbote. pleases me especially from its sympathetic appreciation of the 6] irit of the picture. It si indeed serenely beautiful. The face ex- | presses the: heavenlycalm granted to a prayer- 4 soul.
