Boston, Sept. 21, 1874. ‘There: was yesterday a private view of the col- Jection of paintings loaned by the Duc de Mont. pensier ¢o the Art Committee of the Boston Mu- seum. It will be remembered that these paintings Were removed from the palace of St, Telmo, at Seville, toGibraltar, as a precautionary measure, 4n consequence of the continued troubles in Spain. It was at first intended that they should finda temporary resting place in London; but, owing to the death of Sir Edwin Landseer, the Royal Acad- emy withdrew the offer of space that had been made to the Duke. Owing to the prompt action of Mr. Codman, of Boston, and the kind offices of Mr. Auguste Lange}, long private Becretary to the Dnc d’Aumale, tne paintings ‘Were secured to the public Of Boston for at least one year, on the sole condition that the pictures should te insured to their estimated value against marine and fire msks, ‘The number of works contained in the collection does not exceed thirty, but their value more than compensates for their fewness. Several paintings ofimportance have been loaned by private parties, in order to increase the interest of the exhibition. Some twenty-one of the works belong to THE MOST BRILLIANT PERIOD OF SPANISH ART, beginning with Luis de Morales, surnamed the Divine, who was born in 1509, and, passing through the brilliant progression of artists until Mt reaches the great master, Bartholomeo Estaban de Murillo, in whom the wonderiul succession of Spanish masters culminated. The period covers only some seventy years, and yet it inciudes the Great constellation of artists that raised the Spanish school to a place only second in the heaven of art. “SHE VIRGIN OF SORROWS.” First in point of chronological order stands Luis de Morales, born in 1509, whose genius did not Save him from the frowns of fortune. He studied at Valladolid and Toledo and early acquired great reputation, so much so that he was summoned to the Court; but some ill-disposed persons having Prejudiced the King against him on his arrival he Was given the expenses of his journey and sent back in disgrace, Fortune then abandoned him and he fell into great poverty. Philip [., passing through Badajoz in 1581, seeing the poor artist, | gaid to him, “YOU ARE OLD MORALES,” to which he promptly replied, “and poor, Sire.’ The King was touched and conferred on the old man a pension of 300 ducats, which he enjoyed till hig death, five years later. In his drawing this artist was severely correct. His anatomy was ex- ceedingly learned, while his finish was most elab- Orate. All these qualities are present in the work Which represents him in this collection. In the Catalogue it is called “The Madonna with the Dead Christ tn Her Arms” (18). We are inclined to the opinion that it is the work known in Spain as “The Virgin of Sorrows,” which 1s looked upon as the masterpiece of the artist. The hands and head especially are painted with a perfection of minutia and a finish WORTHY OF HOLBEIN, The modelling of the forms, too, is exquisitely @elicate, displaying profound acquaintance with agnatomy. The story of the Virgin’s sorrow is told with energy. The livid body of Christ rests in her arms with absolate impassiveness; but, though the body in its posture reveals that Deatn has ac- complished his work, the artist has deprived it of | the repulsiveness that would attach to a merely literal study of a corpse, Although the dead body occupies the foreground, attention is skilfully divected to the gorrowing mother, whose grief is depicted with a power of emotional expression traly marvellous, This work at one time formed part ofthe Spanish Gallery at the Louvre. It is the only canvas of “the divine Morales" in the collection. THE HISTORY OF JACOB. Next in order of time comes Pedro Orrente, born in 150, at Monte Alegre, in the Province of Murcia. Itis thought tuat he was a pupil of Bassano, of Valencia, but otters hold he only imi- tated this master, and that he received lessons from Greco at Toiedo, Some of his most remarkable works were executed at Murcia, Valencia and “finally at Madrid. Like Morales he belonged toa period wien THE RELIGIOUS ELEMENT predominated in art. His brush was energetic, facile and correct, but his invention was capri- ious, His manner was very original, and as he ‘Was a master in the treatment of light and shade he specially sought to produce striking effects. He is represented in the collection by three pic- tures which deat with the history of Jacob. are principally remarkable jor the boldness of THE LIGHT AND SHADE TREATMENT and the truthiul manner in which the flocks ofsbeep have been painted. In this branch of art he leaves the best of the modern artists far behind. Beside the flocks of sheep tat accompany Jacob the best studies of Verboeckhoven become weak. The form and woolly texture of the sheep are repro- duced with marvelious truth to nature and with- out any appearance of effort. The facility of this master’s execution is proved by the number of sheep introduced and which are all painted with the same periection and masterly boldness, JUAN DE RIBALTA, It is said that love first drew Ribalta’s attention toart. In order that he might obtain the hand of Qn artist’s daughter in marriage he repaired to Italy and there worked with success for many years. He settied at Valencia, He is represented in the present collection by “THE ECSTASY OF ST. FRANCIS OF ASSISSI,"? which displays his cheracteristic severity of design and great anatomical knowlege. His color is strong and tree from mannerism. HIS PUPIL, José de Ribera, who deserves to rank with | Michael Angelo for boldness of conception and vigor of execution, is represented by only one canv: Which, though it bears evidence to the masterly vigor of his execution, conveys an un- faithtul Idea of the artist's works, Ribera de- lighted in painting THE STRONGER EMOTIONS end eos. He was essentialiy a male artist, and his crucifixions and executions exhibit some- thing of delight in the contemplation of human sgony. The nature of lis art was no doubt infu- enced by his associations, and, as his life was a ver. eventiul one, we have reason to believe that he was more conversant With scenes of suffering and violence than with Hie in tts pleasanter phases. Having studied some tume under Ribalta he went to Italy. Here, tor some reason, he abandoned art and adopted the Rivne of arms, In this ne was unlucky, for, ing captured by the Moors, he was heid asa risoner for five years. Returning to Itgly, he @tudied under Caravaggio. Having visited arin ®, to see Correggio, he was delighted by that artist's work. He made an effort to nequire 7 style, bat found it unsuitable to his genius. He sought striking effects, but too oiten selected his subjects merely to show HIS ANAVOMTCAL KNOWLEDGE or to strike the beholder with horror or a. ht. The example in the collection, ‘Vato, Tearing out his Entraiis,” belongs to ti tier class. ond not even the admirable manner of ite They | NEW execution can prevent a feeling of aisgr dered by the subject.

They are valuable a8 showing thateven tn com- paratively small canvases Velasquez never lost THE CUNNING OF HAND, the decision or breadth of treatment, which char- acterizes his larger canvases, ‘This artist’s works are particularly worthy of note, because he was the first 01 the great Masters who turned to humanity for inspiration, and showed the power o! art to raise up and give importance to objects in them- selves mean apd despicable. He made man his special study, seeking to present him as he was, without any attempt to taealize him, He ABANDONED THE ANGELS to descend to the level of kings, courtiers, soldiers and beggars, and has leit us pictures of the men of his time which are simply invai- uable, Of an observing and mathematical mind, his genius was ill suited to those great conceptions which demand warmth of soul and exaltation of feeling; but as a pater he was uprivalied ip the truthful- ess and naturalness of bis productions, Master of the whole gamut of art, nis drawing is remark- able for ireedom and power, as well as irreproach- able in its purity. On bis canvases he seems absolutely to play with DIFFICULTIES OF FORM AND LIGHT. His color is firm, sure and natural, In nis worrs we find a thorough understanding of the difticul- ties of elevation and aistribution of light, while his treatment of linear and aerial perspective ap- proacued well nigh to perfection. Asa portrait painter he excelled all Spanisn artists, and took Tank with the greatest men of other nations in this department. The present collection is fortu- hate in the posession Of an admirabie specimen of his power in this direction, It is a portrait sup- posed to be of himself, and displays all the qualities oO! periect modelling, RICHNESS OF COLOR, harmony of tone and learned distribution of light | that we find in the best works of ‘Jittan., In all | the powers that could be acquired by deep and un- ceasing study Velasquez s100d pre-eminent.

Im the Warwick sale, in 1859, an equestrian portrait of Don Luis de Haro was purchased for 32,920 francs, and at the sale of Guillaume II. (1850) the portraits of Philip iV. and the Duc q’Olivares were sold jor 38,850 florins, BOCANEGRA, This artist was born in Grenada, but the date of his birth 18 not positively known. He died in 1688, | He was exceedingly vain, and bis indiscretions | tinally caused his death. He was @ learned color- | ist, and imitated Van Dyck, but exaggerated on nis style. He is represented by a work of no great merit, entitled “THE REPENTANT MAGDALEN.’? A richly dressed lady is putting olf ner diamonds, and, we suppose, preparing to withdraw from a | Sintul world, which she has suddenly found to be not as pleasanta place as she once thought it. | The moral lesson conveyed is a good one, though a little old, and will serve even for the present day, though, probably, had the lady lived in our time | She would have been satisfied with making a state- | Bla The action is theatrical, but the color 1s rich. | _ Four very important works, by Zurbaran, oc- | eupy one side of the room where the purely | Spanish works are assembled, They are, “ihe Annunciation,” “The Adoration of the Shep- | herds,” “The Adoration of the Magi” and “The | Circumcision,” which formed originally the great | altar piece of the Cartnusian Convent at Cadiz. | “The Adoration of the Magi” is painted im the ar- | tist’s best style, and is fall of grandeur, BRILLIANT EFFECTS | and solid studies. It is unquestionably the best work in the collection, in the grandeur and noble. ness of its composition, boldness of drawing and Ticbness of color. In these qualities it is perhaps unsurpassed by any work db) the same artist, who has the advantage over his rivals of appearing at mis best, while they are represented by some of their | les3 happy efforts. In this picture the Virgin is | Fepresented as an humble maicen, holding on her knee the Infant, Betind her chair stands St. Joseph, who is presented as an unmistakabie Iberian, The chief figures are the old Magus, who kneels kissing the nt's hand. and a splendid looking Spanish cavalier, who occupies the centre of the group, the third Magus being represented by a negro. ‘The painting has all HE DISTINCTIVE SOMBRENESS ofthe Spanish school, relievea by a Caravaggio- like treatment of light and shade, An immense mass of light has been thrown on the figures in the foreground, which have been finished with the greatest care, and the result is a truly marvellous effect. The dignity of the composition has been well mantained in all tne figures, and nothing that could take away trom the impressive- ness of the scene has been introduced. In his other canvas, “The Adoration of the Shepherds,’”” painted, as @ Latin inscription informs us, for King Philip, the forms of common life are intro- duced in the realistic manner, In this picture the Infant is exposed on a@ couch and the Virgin is in the act of removing the white covering cloth, Some shepherds are kneeling in adoration on tne right and some children on the leit. Behind, angels are seen singing, one accompanying on the’ guitar, In the clouds a choir of cherubims intone @ song of joy, and an angel clad in scarlet, wno 1s | playing on a huge harp, seems to be chef d’orches- | tre. In the backrround peasants are seen has- | tening to pay homage. The composition is very spirited and ful! of devotional ieeling, thougit | Some of the aesistants do not seem very much im- pressed; but in point of color it falls tar below | ‘fhe Adoration of the Magi.” It possesses, how- ever, more Of the distinctive characteristics oF Spanish art. The assistants are all Spanish peas- ants, exceedingly naturalistic, and are DRAWN WITH GREAT FREEDOM and vigor, “The Circumcision” is admirably | painted, with great breadth of treatment. ‘nis | admirable group of paintings is completed by “fhe Aununciation.”” Though full of sweetness and religious feeling it is not equal in execu- | tion to its companions. “A Monk Praying’ fur- ; Hishes an cree ol this artist’s skillin portraits and is painted with vigor and decision. ‘The ainter of these works, Francisco Zurparan, was born in humble lire at Fuente de Cantos in Estre- madura, in the year 1598, He was first employed 48 a laborer, but his taste for painting procured jor him patrons who enabled him to proceed to Madrid, where he entered the studio of Roelas, | Durmg his life he acquired great fame and popu- larity.

And it must be admitted by even the least enthusiastic ad- mirer of Murillo that the picture deserves ull the care and attention that has been lavished On it. All the sweetness of expression, grace of line, warmth of color and harmony of tone that we are accustomed to look for in the happiest effort of this master may be found in this work. It is painted in his GOLDEN STYLE, and though it may not claim to be one of his best efforts, it exhibits the best quulities of ms art. Murillo’s “Holy Family”? 1s wanting in the ec- Static religtous feeling of the older artists, It 1s simple, sweet and poetic, but does not breathe the devotional feeling and profound belief that distin- guished the earlier Christian art. The Virgin, child and attendant angels playing on fidule and guitar are PURELY HUMAN; idealized certainly, and imbued with exquisite deli- | cacy and tenderness, butestill human. There is ttle trace here of the entnusiasin of his highest relig- tous ideal, which found expression in the marvel- lous “Immaculate Conception,’ on which ne seems to have concentrated all that was most po- etic and enthusiastic in hie nature. The lines of composition tn this ‘Holy Family” are subtle and eraceiui to & remarkable degree, and, combined with detatis of unrivalled barmony, form a most pertect ensemble, The estimation in which the works of this great artist are held may be judged from the fact that filteen pictures stolen by Soult, and which were sold with his collection in 1852, brought 1,163,245 irancs; the ‘Immacuiate Con- ception" alone, which was lery of the Louvre, being sol neisco Herrera, Known as El Viejo, to distin- guish him from his son, has been mucii less fortu- nate than bis countryman, Murillo, in the treat- ment he has received at the hands of the commit- tee. His two splen groups of mitred heads, representing FATHERS OF THE CHURCH, have ‘been bung well nigh up to the heaven to which they beiong. It ts to be regretted tnat tnis should have occurred, a8 the two groups in ques- tor ‘are canvases Of anusual merit, the painting of these heads mitres that look like tongues Of Qame offering almost in- aurmountable difiiculties to” arustic treatment, Not alone has this dificulty been overcome with greac skill, but the composition has been rendered very striking and susge tive by the manner 2 which they are combined, In the painting of the heads great vigor is displayed and the treatment Fecalls vividly the qualities of Tintoretto. .. Two of the mops interesting works in the collec mal collection of the Madrid Gallery. | tion are placed immediately underneath. They are landscapes by Herrera, the younger, and ex- hibit remarkable qualities in THE ATMOSPHERIC TREATMENT, which recalls the best efforts of Turner. There is here all the luminous rendering o1 light whieh we find in the great English painter, without his ex- aggerations. Aud 1% wouid be interesting to know whether Turner ever studied the works Of this Spaniard, whose work combanes the qualities that we admire in Claude and Turner, and is suggestive of both, Nothing could be more delightfully re- fresning than the cool silvery grays ol the sky, which seem absolutely to vibrate in the sar die tance. And yet there is nothing in these pictures to attract the popular eye. But the art connois- seur will examine them with unalloyed pleasure. We recommend the picture to the attention of our Own landscape artists, ‘hey will find in them sub- | Ject for study ana imitation, We should be curious vo see some SPANISH RUSKIN trace the influence of Herrera tn forming Tur- ner’s manner, if such intluence really existed, With these landscapes we pass irom the Spanish School of art to the few examples of the Itahan masters which reinforce the collection. It may be well to state here that the real interest of the | conection depends a3 much on the fact that tne works composing it illustrate the whole period | Of grand Spanish art ason the unusaal merit of | some of the examples. For this reason we have reviewed the works in their chronoogical order, | pointing out the merits and detects of the various | arusts, The few examples of Italian art in the | coliection do not furnish any motive for the adop- | Eon of the same orderly method and we prefer to jake up THE WORKS OF SALVATOR ROSA a8 exhibiting something of the sombreness and severity Of Spanish art. Indeed, Salvator Rosa | and Caravaggio seem 10 be the connecung link b tween the art of tbe two peoples. | ‘l'wo landscapes | by the former artist Rong with the Spanish | pictures arrest attention by the bold and originat style of their treatment. The scenes are wild, almost savage, and traced with @ free and | Strangely vigorous hand. In one of them some | horsemen are riding at full speed down a savage glen. The group 18 a mere accessory, but the figures are painted in with wondertul spirit aud sense Of motion. They are weil conceived and MEIGHTEN THE EFFKCT of the gloomy wildness of the vale. The color is severe and not over agreeable, but it is well in harmony with the scene, which is intended to be grand and savage, not pleasant. ‘The gloom of Salvator Rosa’s genius was, no donbt, deepened by the circumstances of his early lite. Born in poverty, about 1615, he would probably have per- ished unknown had he not been discovered by Le- franc. During his life he won reeoguition, but made hosts of enemies by his indulgence in bitter sarcasm at the expense of his contemporaries, He died in 1673, An important group by sebastian dei Piombo, which has sufered irom the influence of time, gives a glimpse at the style of work done by the man whom Michael Angeto set up as RAPHAEL'S RIVAL. A woman ts about to cover a sleeping chia with @ gauze veil, and the way in which the texture of the veil has been rendered is truly marveilous: Iv seems to float and feel the intluence of the at- mosphere. The painting of the figures is solid and bold and lifelike, and the color fresh and vigorous, The drawing is not quite so satisfactory. ‘The Procession of the Sacred Cevorium,”’ by Vander | Meulen, does not deserve special note. It is a pre- tentious canvas of not much value, A HOLY FAMILY, by Cima, a pupil of John Bellini, loaned froma private galery, is aa interesting addition to the collection, In it we find the reposeful, religious sentiment which distinguished the early IDEAL CHRISTIAN ART. : The technique, too, displays admirable skill, joined to graceful composition, In order to make a better show some works of questionable merit have been hung in the second Toom devoted to the exhibition o1 the collection. ‘This, we think, was an error, as they decidedly les- sen both the interest and charm of the really good works, The museum o! antiquities will, however, prove a valuable addition. Notwithstanding some | inevitable deiects of arrangement due fo the | Shortness of the time at tue aispoga! of the com- mittee the Montpensier collection cannot fail to mike a deep impression on the American | public. It affords an opportunity never be- | fore enjoyed of forming a air idea of | the Spanish school of painting. Many of the works display the best qualities of the artist | from whose easel they come, and all are iairly rep- resentative. Boston has reason to feel gratetul to the energy of those citizens whose promptitude secured for their city the enjoyment which every | true lover of art must feel in contemplating these magnificent works of art. We hope that when the bustle of the first jew days has passed Messrs. Perkins, Brimmer and the energetic mem- | bers of the Art Committee who assist in their | labors will see the way to redistribute some of | the pictures, and deat out to all the great dead the justice they have done to Murillo, It only requires courage to face the appearance of a | sparsely decorated wall, but the heightening of | the interest in the paintings that must inevitably | result will more than compensate tor the want of numerical strength in the collection, TO EUROPE FOR FIFTEEN DOLLARS. eee g race res The Cunard Line Commence Their Opposition Fight with the National Line—Steerage Fares Tumbled Down from Twenty-seven and Twenty-five Dollars to Fifteen! AS predicted in Sunday’s HERALD, the agents orthe North Atlantic Steumsbip Conterence failed to agree at their meeting yesterday. The Tesult will be that passengers can now return to Great Britain for $15, instead of $27 and $25. The fight tn the Conference is between the National and | Canard lines, the former having commenced to | passing Tun opposition to the Cunarders to Boston, and claiming the right on account of being a younger | line to charge considerably less steerage rate than | the Cunarders. The question of freight to Boston has also entered into the discussion. A few minutes after the Conference at No. 39 Broaa- way was over, the first blow was struck | and the Cunarders commenced the fight by selling | $16 tickets, Their exampie was speedily iollowed by the State line o: Scotch steamers, who sell Uckets at $12 net, allowing "$3 commission to agents, The other lines asked all kinds ol prices, | $20 being accepted in more than one case. The | general remark made by the representatives of the lines belouging to the Conference was that it was very hard on them to have to suffer by the | quarreling of the Cunarders and National line on | account of the Boston trade. During the recent | competition of the steamship lines from May tiil | September upward of 60,000 emigrants have leit | these shores at rates varying jrom $12 to $15, the | former being the rates at which tickets | are sold to agents. During the recent high rates the American company’s European | steamers have been reaping a rich harvest, as that line has steadily refused to enter the Couference | and has been carrying passengers at $17 to Liv- | erpool. Mr. Francklyn, the agent of the Canard | steamers, who was absent at the last meeting, | ‘as present yesterday. A last attempt ata recon: | ciliation is to be made to-day, but as war has been | declared and & formal disruption of the Conierence | has taken place by the sale of $15 tickets, no solu- tion Can, it 18 thought, be possibly arrived at. The companies in Liverpool have been selling £3 tick- | ets jor New York, say $15, for many days past. As | matters bow stand the fight between tne National and Cunard lines promises to be a long and bitter | one. A NUISANCE ARRESTED. | The Danger of Triiling with Ladies who Advertise in the Herald. Carlo Bondeiro Panciatichi, of No. 105 Fourth avenue, was arrested yesterday afternoon by Cap. | tain Irving and Detective Leahy and locked up at | the Central OMlce. He is charged with writing obscene, insinuating and insulting letters to ladies who had advertised in the HERALD and other journals. Signor Panclatichi’s method was to select some announcement from the col- umns of the HERALD through which | a@ lady was seeking employment, and | under pretence of having something to offer in the way of occupation, adroitly convey an indecent proposition, In one case the Italian ruffian had the temerity to send his picture, and that caused his fall. The portrait was sent to Captain Irving, with instructions Jor the arrest of the original, and it soliowed almost at once. Captain Irving handed the picture to Detective Leaby and desired him to hold himsell in readiness, A letter, pur- | porting to be sent by @ lady, was despatclied to | the Italian. The note requested an appointment, and Panciatichi promptly went to the point indicated, expecting to find a victim to his evil acts awaiting him; but he found instead Detective Leahy, who at once secured the scoun- drel. Upon being conveyed to tne Central OMce the prisoner was searched and on him were dis- covered a large number of tecters ready for the | post, They were nearly all alike, written in bad English and containing the most insulting propo- sitions to the ladies to whom they were addressed. Jn euch case the advertisement answered was cut out and pinned to the top of the note, so that no mistake could occur, The feliow’s folly and mean- ing were so thinly disguised that his prompt | and condign punishmont is certain. He wil be arraigned at the Tomos Police Court this morning. DEATH OF AN AROTIO EXPLORER, Mr. Henry W.

There was an immense gathering at Fieet- wood Park yesterday afternoon to witness the trotting announced to take place, the number | being variously estimated from six to seven thou- sand, The grand stand was filled, the banks above the homestretch were thronged, the fela was full of venicies of all kinds, and the club | house balconies were crowded.

He won the race apparently very easily, although American Girl scored the second heat; Gloster, however, ‘Was not allowed to try for tnat heat, He had no trouble in winning the others. The second trot was between horses that had never beaten 2:31, for a@ purse of $1,000; $550 to the first, $200 to the second and $150 to the third horse; mile heats, best three in five, in harness.
