There is no living artist, not even excepting Lambinet, who, to Our taste, more truly depicts scenes of this kind than Mr. Hart, There ts a tenderness combined with force in hia treatment of them which at once affoots the mind of the spectator and exercises the samo sweet and soothing in- fluence upon it that the contemplation of the reality would bave done. Mr. Snedecor has been fortunate in being able to assemble for the opening of his new gallery a ool- lection of the choicest epocimens of the French and Ger- man schools now in this city, Many of them aro of course loaned, but there ares number of new pictures of great morit which have never before been exbibitted here, silery there is also a vory good show of new pictures, including @ beautiful little sunset, by De Haas; ® view of the Bernese Alps, by Schief; a choice Willems, and a striking portrait of Genoral Sher- man, by Ballings. ‘the amende honorable bas been made to Neblig for the rejection of his fine picture “Night Aftor the Battie,” by the Academy of Design, by his election as one of the metabers of the Hanging Committee (or the next exhibi- ton One of the best works at the exhibition of the Artists’ Fund Society this yoar is a small genre picture, by Guy, whoge efforts we have frequently before had occasion to commend. For correct drawing, strength of color and sweotnees of tone, it will compare favorably with any other work im the exhibition. This young artist deserves to be oncouraged. If be continues to improve as he bas done within the iast two years he will attain a very high rank in his profession. Beard, to whose comic peacil we owe so many bumor- ous iflustrations of animal life, is now engaged on a series of pictures in which the Terpsicborean propensities of the boar tribe are ludicrously depicted, J.G, Brown has just completed to order another of those charming child groups which have created for him Ing berries in '@ corn ficid—but it ia treated with so much tenderness that it attracts at once. Do Haas is engaged on @ foe marine view, ia whioh he has cut looge altogether from the land, ard gives us nothing but effects of atmosphere and water, These aro troated with unusual boldness and display, not ouly masterly handling, but a close study of the ever varyiug aspects of the oceau, The vessels introduced are pain ted with that close atteation to correctness of detail which are to be expected from an artist who has passed so much of his life at sea. We are glad to dnd that Whittredge, after a long spell of rambling, not unprofitable, however, in the way of studies, is about to commence an important work. We do not see as many of this clover artist’s productions as we could desire. Mr. L. Mercier, the fine art critic, has himself taken up the brusb, and is now painting horses and other cattle, in which subjects he displays not only fancy and color, bat anatomical knowledge, without which all euch efforts must be valueless, Mrs. Julia Beers, the talented sister of talented broth- ers (the two Harts), has just fnishod a beautiful little landscape which, in sweetness of sentiment and vigorous treatment, surpasses any of ber iormer attempts in this line. In the Artista’ Fund Exbibition there is a head of a wounded soldier, in crayon, by Constant Ma} which may bave escaped attention, as itis hung high up in the We would recommend visitors to examiove it specimen of drawing. It is a stady for his new picture, intended as @ companion to his “Consola- tion,” sold to Mr, Frodsham, and now in process of be- ing ongraved. Ballings is engaged on a large picture $(ten by sixteen) of General Grant and bis staff, The studies are all made from life, and, a8 far as we can jadge from the cartoon sketch, are remarkably faithful. be artist bas undor- taken a very difficult composition, b.« figures being all on horseback and inthe act or galloping.
