ee et THE WORLD OF ART. Sculpture at the Crystal Palace. The Herald (cmmissioner Among the Statues, | &o., &., &e. The statuary is, perhaps, the most attractive fea- | tare of the exibtion. As the visiter enters the | building the first object which meets his eye isa Statue: go where he will within ite precincts the Speaking marble is always by his side, and the last his exit is sure to light on some work of the chisel. Nor is this altogetiver dwe to the number and favor- able position of the statues. A large proportion of the works in this branch of art possess very high merit. Unlike its twin-sister, sculpture is well re presented at the Palace. Native and foreign artists have seut their best works. Europe has been ran- sacked to furnish contributions. Men of geniusio Sweden, Norway, Britain, Germany, France, Italy, and—though last, among the first in point of merit— America, have cheerfully labored to make our exhi- bition worthy of its aim in this respect. Did the Palace contain nothing but the marbles and the casta which border the naves it would still be worth # journey of several hundred miles to visit it. The collection has never been, and possibly may not be for many years, equalled on this side the Atlantic, Even in Evrope, where so many valuable galleries abound, it would chMMlenge general notice, and be speak much admiration. It is not impossible to assign a reason for the shiking contrast between the collections of painting and sculpture in the Crystal Palacé. Mediocrity is both more easily obtained and more respectable in the marble than on canvass. A correct knowledge of forms and anatomy is more easily acquired than an acquaintance with shape, color, lights, perspec tive, and all the other requisites essential for the painter; and though a mere academical statue \can mever occupy a high place as a work of art, it wil mevertheless please, where a painting of equal merit ‘would pass unnoticed. A great critic has said that astatue of the first rank, such as Michel Angelo’s | “ Moses,” or the “Apollo Belvidere,” shows a higher order of genius than the finest painting ever produced. Michael Angelo himself said, as every- body knows, that chevalet painting was only fit for women. The opinion, which is based on a variety of | very ingenious if not very solid reasons, may not be | worth discussing. But itis certain that the world contains fewer statues of equal merit to the “Moses” than paintings which can compare with the best | works of Raphael and Marillo. The statues which | arrest the beholder, rivet his attention, and hold him transfixed with awe, pity, or enthusiasm— which gain on him as he studies their beauties, and, after years have elapsed, still preserve a fresh place in his memory, and retain the power of awakening his emotimus—such works as these are rare, very rare. To have seen two or three of them is enough fora lifetime. To compensate us, however, for their rarity, we are happi'y enabled te admire and even to feel enthusiasm at works of a muh lower order of merit. Beauty of form, though cheaply attained, is almost sure te please. A bold anatomy that would be insignificant on canvassis | admired iu bronze or marble. Indeed, though the | Bculptor's claims on admiration be but negative— though he have done nothing more than copy cor- | rectly, he will win a laurel that we should refuse to ‘an equally conscientious painter. From the latter ‘we expect something more than accuracy. Hence it is perkaps that it is easier to collect a respectable show of statues than an equally popular gallery of paintings; and hence, in all probability, the wide disparity between the sculptures and paintings of | less. the exhibition. ‘We may perambulate the gallery of paintings for many days before any of the works of art there ex- pesed excite a tithe of the emotions arou:ed by a ingle glance at Thorwaldsen’s ‘Apostles’. Fancy a room shaped somewhat like the larger half ofacircle, | and hung with purple; around ‘the wall stand on fa raised dais the Twelve Apostles, larger than life, and at the apex a colossal figure of Christ rises, ‘overtopping hia disciples, and stretching forth his hands as he bids them, “Go, and preach the Gospel fo every creature.” Each figure is s‘amped with \ the old orator in a manner to delight a pbrenologist. individnality, and full of life. There stands Philip bearing bis cross,and mourning at the prospect ofthe | Joss of hi beloved master. There is the sweet angelic H face of John, our Christian Belvidere. Matthew ‘wears an aspect of worldly wisdom and sagacity; his bag of money at his feet tells both of his fornier calling and of the part he bore in the early Christian commonwealth. Sern resolution is written in the features of Bartholomew; the knife he carries be- tokens the determined character of his zeal. Peter is, of course, the conventional figure we all know. There i3 more paternal kindness in Paul's expression than it bas been usual to indisate. The Italians gene- rally bienjed more of Saul in their Paul. Finally— for we cannot stop to individualize each—the Christ is magnificent in grandeur and godlike majesty. It is not the Christ of Miehael Angelo, who comes in Clouds and thunder to judge a guilty world, but the Christ of the Evangelists, beaming with goodness, | humility and love—forgiving, not punishing, cher- ishing, not spurning, pitying, not condemning his | creatures. His outstretched arms cover a whole | world. 80 great is the triamph of the sculptor, that | a3 we stand at several feet distance, gazing on the figure, we can hardly repress the apprehension that it is actually endowed with life, and advancing to- | wards us. How much of this group Thorwaldsen owes to Leopardo and others it would be both diffi- | cult and invidious to say. Who can tell what Leo- | nardo himself invented, and what he borrowed from | his predecossora? Let us give the Northman full , credit for this invention. Executed as it is,the group | | Girl, relief, represent @ man apparently in the agonies ei po inbtoned yh per ebony It is a work of much boldness, originality and vigor. | Several busts and casts by Americans are worth potice. Among others—for we cannot enumerate | all—a cast of Jones’ bust of Soott, and a. sounioet | busts by Mr. Kinney. Ball's statuette of Wel is | reeally one of the finest objecta in the collection. | One has only to compare it with Le Curew’s lar, statute, to realize the cifficulty overvome, aud 3 conscientionmss of the artist, It is too tami tar te most of our readers to ueed Geanet pen Buffice it to sey, that the clay never glowed with a truer or more striking type of life. We are sorry that we cannot speak in similar | terms of the works of M. Piatti, who ts classed as an | American. His bust of Webster may be mathema- look cast towards the iuterior as he slowly makes | tically correct, but the soul is altogether wanting. « ‘arm Be whom we find pathetically cata- logued as a ‘* Husbandman’s Orphan,” is nothing more than a fair anatowy. Nor can we plead guilty to anythivg like sympathy fox a plethoric baby, whom we find smotheriog—M. Piatti says sleeping— in the agonies of repletion. In like manner we must confess that we are uuable to ciate the motive which induced Mr. Brown to the statue he sent to the exhibidion. The attitude, expression, and design, are good, but why that tinsel ? More than balf the marbles in the exhibition are claimed by Austria and Italy. The former asserts ber right, teed by Radetaky’s bayonets, to whatever Milan bas brought forth ; and we dare say that we should run some risk were we to contest her claim on the bauks of tae Po. Being, fortuaately, on those of the Hudson, far beyond the reach of the amiable soldiery who butchered the Ticinese, we will take leave to render unto Cesar what belongs unto Cesar, and to regard the Milanese contributions by Italian authors as rizhtfally Itatian. To Italy we sball Ey credit, for instance, for Pagani’s “Eve after the Fall —a fine study, in which tear, shame, | and consciousness of guilt, are struggling for the | matery. A captions critic might carp at Eve's hair, which looks heavy and clotted—more espevi- ally as the difficulty of representing hair in the mar- ble has been frequently overcome by others. Sut the statue possesses undoubted merit. Lovers of contrasts may smuse themselves by comparing this | “Eve” with Powers’, already mentioned, and with | & really beautiful group (in plaster) of “ Adam and Eve,” te M. Jerichau. In the latter the artist hag seized the same moment as Sr. Pagani. ar first rents are smitten with shame sud remorse at their ult. Adam's head is hung os pe in gloom; sorrow ; Eve, still retaiviug ing ef the elasti- city of her sex, stands beside him, with brow dark- | ened and cheek bedewed at the consciousness of her | own sin and the sight of her husband's despair. it is a very fine composition—much higher 1n merit than the neat “Cupid with Mars’ arms” which likewise bears M. Jerichan’s name. The gallery con- tains two other “ Eves ;” one a clever copy, by M. Geiss, of our old acquaintance, and the other a copy of 's Eve, by Lagzerini. iznor Abbondio, of Milan, an Italian, has been if rmitted by his Austrian masters to execute a fine ust of Monti, and to send it bere. It is a favor for which we should be thankful. It is probably the | finest among a large collection of busts. Among the | otners which deserve special mention we may rank on? of Pio Nono, by Tenerani; a fine female head, by Romanelli, of Florence; a rs of copies from aa- tique statues and a Dante, by Marchetti; and a He- iowe, by Sr. Vasse. Sr. Tibbi’s bustof Sappho does not give us a very Gooae | it of the fair poetérs. Had it been christened “My Maiden Aunt,” ares body would have recognized the truthfulness of the cast. Sr. Marchetti, the author of the Dante above-men- tioned, has also sent us a clu little statue, with broad face end fat bands, which he has christened a “« A Loveof a Bird” By Sr. Romanelli we have a fine anatomy, intended to represent William Tell’s son | at that peculiar crisis ia his life which has given him a world-wide fame; but we cannot forgive the want of Co abpoog in the features of the boy. A ‘ Rebec- ca,” by Sr Vasse, is open to the same censure; the countenance bears the Jewish cast, but is lifelessand silent. Fabricotti has succeeded in copying the “Venus of Paris” with tolerable fidelity; but he fails entirely with his ‘‘Cupid and Psyche.’’ Cupid is an infant: she a woman, who seems to be fondling her eldest son, or at least her nephew. Cambi has contributed a “Drauken Bacchus” and | a statue of “Truth.” If the jolly god of wine never ft deeper in bis potations than Sr. Cambi paints im. there would have been no talk about the Maine law; we opine that he is only in that happy state | which is produced by three or four glasses of first | rate Heidsick. “Truth,” we regret to say, has vi | thin legs. Her face, too, lacks expression. Trut! is ct always silly, nor = candor = simplicity in- variably synonymous. ‘Tis a pret igure, ‘by Sr. Pelliccin we find D stvall tale a female—perhaps a Saint Cecilia— which is neatly executed; and a vigorous, th no means origiwal, conception of a “Bachantte Play- ing the Flate.” Sr. Fontana’s “Cicero” representa | We should have liked to ee more power in the “‘Co- lumbus,’’ by Cesare del Merlico, of Carrara; the sta- tue is fairly executed, but there is nothing to apprize ya the presence of a master mind. The gallery contains a conple of “St. Johns; one, | by Luigi Magi, is a pretty lifetixe sleeping figure, | which migbt as well be any body else as St. John; the other, by Baratta, @ faithful reprodac- tion of tbe conventional John; in other words, a sweet infantine face, imbued with all the mavil of age. We cannot applaud either. Sr. Fraccaroli, whom Austria has appropri ated, | is the author of a group of “ Atala and Chactus.” The expression of the fair Indian is very ably exe- cuted; but alas for the author's taste! Chactus is— mst we say it’—in the act of kissing her. Now, kissing is a performance which in the ab+tract we should be very loath to criticise; but it must be frankly acknowledged that, however agreeable to kisser and kissee, it is by no means, in an artistic point of view. a pleasant operation for a third party to witness. Why did not Signor Fraccaroli leave us to imagine the kisses? An elaborate dressing gown covers the here of a stupid looking lady whom Signor Moté)li, her artistic father, has named the “ Deserted.” ¢ is quite so in the Palace. One of the very best of the Italian contributions is Strazza’s ‘‘ Mendicant.” Genius, and geoius of no | common order, is revealed in the attitude and the expression of the forlorn youth. Santareili’s ** Love — the Heartofa eee he isa pretty perform- ance. It ought be placed beside Bienaime’s “ Griev- ing Psyche,” which everybody knows and admi es. The ‘Soldier's Son,’’ by Torini, and the “ Sewing | by P. Magni, are both clever works, possessing claims to praise for their fidelity t» nature. Caselli’s | “ Hagar and Ishmeel” is a oe hea? bat lacks in- spiration and a true understanding of the sublime feeling with which Hagar le't her home. | Of Marochetti’s “‘ Washington” our say shall be be bricf. So far as the mere mechanical work is concerned, its prominent feature is cl msiness. No horse in the world ever had such @ neck or such legs. No man out of a hospital ever carried about with him such awkward, misshapen limbs But there faults are not greater than the total failare of the artist to depict the hero he had undertaken to represent.

The exhibition contains reproductions of three other works of Thorwaldsen by modern artists. Of his “ Ganymede” we find two copies, both in marble, and both, like the original, graceful and pleasing. | The Italian yainters had a very different notion of Ganymede. H's ‘ Mercury” has been cooied with considerable success by Sr. Lazzerini. A Mr. Geiss has contributed a copy of his “ Hove’—a ymth with hand+uplift—who might weil have suggested thore beantifal lines of Keate’:— Aria sparking majesty a ater Giles the boght summit of rome g'oomy cloud, Drightaning the nalf veiled fxce of heaven sfsr So whes srk thoughts my boding spirit «broud, weet Flops! cele tia! tnfloevce round me shed, Wavicg thy liver pinivme o'er my bead!

An though the proportions are both ample and voluptu- | ous, 0 commanding is the expression, that involun- | tary respect and admiration are the only emotions aroused. A group ofan“ Indian A'tacked by a Snake,” in brovze, by M. Ottin, of Paris, 1s very spirited. A captious critic might object to certain portions of the | anatomy, but the general effect is good. M_ Lechesne has contributed a large cast, repre-enting a ‘Mother and her Child Attacked by an Eagle’ The mother | sleeps, and the babe is in vain ae he to defend itself from the attacks of the bird. As a group it is much, and deservedly, ad It is, however, questionable whether in an artistic point of view the sympathy which the author sought to awaken he pot diminished by the size of the figures. By M. Dupré we havea very | lifelike representation -of a “Sleeping Child.” Hoppin bas sent a “Watch Dog,” in his usaal felici- tous manner. We cannot leave the French depart- ment without a passing word of praise to several so- | cial groups in terra cotta, by Graillon, of Diéppe. They are exc cedingly clever, and fall of animation.

Appleton & Co., of No. 200 Broad way, for the receipt of the seoond volume of “The Works of J. C. Caihoun,” which has een just issued by their house. The work is edited by Richard K- Crabbe, and the arrangement of the highly interest” | ing political matter which it convains is as credita- ble to his talent and industry, as the style of art in which the book is brought out is to the taste and apirit of the publishers. The volume now before us» extends over five hundred and sixty-two pages, and includes all the speeches made by Mr. Cal- houn from the year 1811 to the end of the winter of 1837, with some of the more early oritoracal efforts of the great statesman, which have not heretofore appeared in print. “The Works of Calhoun” will form an invale- able addition to the libraries of our people, as they must ever be read with pride, pleasure, and profit, by the American patriot, the orator, and the stateeman. The speeches delivered during the war of 1812 possess extraordinary interest; flashing a3 they do with the ever varyiog, brilliant, and resist- less eloquence of the gifted South Carolinian.

The present volume runs from the first settlement of the colony dewn to the period of the departure of Gover- por O’Rielly in the year 1770. ‘he memoir of Dumont occupies the first portion of the book. Then we bave a spirited translation from the French of the memoir of Chevalier Coampigny, with a vast amouat of historical, biographical, and geographical infurma- tion; the work being closed by a cop'ous and accurate index of hivt»rics] documents and elucidations. The first part of the book is ornamented with an elegaut steel engraving of the likeness of the celebrated M. kienville, who is so distinguished in the annals Louisiana. The high reputation which the author, Mr. French, enjoys in the estimation of the members of varicus literary and scientific associations and so- cieties, will at ouce commend the work to the atten- tion of those jesrned bodies all over the United States; whilst the style of printing, binding, lettering. and | ornament in which it has been executed by the pub- lishers, will tend to secure for it an intrinsically de- served circulation amoogst the great masses of the people, Tar Boox or Nature, By SCHORDLER AND MEB- LocK.—This is the first American edition of a most valuable work, which enjoys a very high reputation both in England and Germany. In reproducing the book here the publishers, Blanchard & Lee, of Phi- ladelpbia, have spared no pains in their efforts to render it adapted ‘othe American mind. The im- portance of a general knowledge of the natural and pbysical sciences is now fully acknowledged by srery people; and the endeavor.of the author of the work now before us seems to have been directed te the production of a perfect manual of elementary introduction to the study of physics, astronomy, chemistry, geology, botany, &c., &c. It is illustra- ted with seven hundred engravings on wood, and arranged with great clearness aud simplicity. Kaiver’s Spoxtinc ANECDOTES—A well written and instructive work upon American field sports— relieves the tedium produced by thé reading of the spiritual production.

The little book con- tains a large amount of information upon the sciences of chemiyry and geology, which must ren- der it most interesting to practivat farmers. In this connection we may mention the appear- ance of the first namber of the “Industrial Resources of Wisconsin,” written by John Gregory, C. E., of | Milwaukie. It will appear mouthly, or perhaps more frequently, and is written ina manner which mast render it interesting to the mechanic, farmer, philos- opber, leborer, and pistoriau: although it contains some peculiar views of the author upon speculative matters, which may pot be quite in accordance with the doctrines upon the same subjects which are now popularly received.

The strong- ly marked lineaments of the humane, science-enlight- | eved, but careworn face of the physiologist, are | trutbfally preserved. He holds in his hand a portion of a human skull; and the group formed by the as- | tonished but confiding prince, his devoted cavalier, the awe-struck royal boy, and the immortal doctor, is | ope most illustrative of the character of the day, both in science general education, cbivalry aad sur- ical knowledge. The engraving is 28 inches wide yy 25 inches bigh, and sold at a low price.
