EXHIBITION OF THE ASSOCIATED PAINTERS IN 

 WATER-COLOURS, NEW BOND-STREET. 



The greatly increased number of Water Colour Painters has produced a 

 new Society, whose second annual Exhibition has now opened. The mem- 

 bers are chiefly young artists ; but their works, generally speaking, are of a 

 superior character. A drawing of St. Michael's Mount, by C. BENTLEY, is 

 remarkable for its dimensions as well as its excellence, being the largest of its 

 class we ever saw in water colours : this, however, is the least of its merits, 

 the colouring and execution displaying powers of the highest order. Isle of 

 Wight, by the same, is more lively in colour, and brighter in effect. Wounded 

 Heron, J. BURBANK, is drawn with great feeling and correctness, and finished 

 with extraordinary care ; the respect shewn for nature in this work entitles the 

 artist to the highest praise : these remarks will also apply to 39, /S/te//s,and 34, 

 Cat watching a Butterfly, by the same hand. HEAPHY, who is a veteran in this 

 branch of art, exhibits here several highly finished drawings, amongst 

 which the most conspicuous are two female Portraits and Recognition. 

 One of the finest specimens of colour is by Miss F. CORBAUX, who is ad- 

 vancing in her art very rapidly : the subject is a Lady plaging with a Squirrel. 

 The richness of surface in this drawing far surpasses the works of many 

 older practitioners. 



70. Chapel at Houghton. 240. Joseph Andrews resenting the insult offered 

 to Fanny by Beau Didapper. 251. Amy Robsart, Janet, and the Pedlar in the 

 Garden of Cumnor Place.-" -256. Wolsey and Queen Catherine. J. NASH. 

 These several drawings evince a great degree of taste, both in the grouping of 

 figures and in picturesque architecture ; we can also discern a liveliness of 

 fancy throughout : more attention to drawing and detail would, however, 

 raise them in our estimation as works of art. The Last Man, J. MARTIN, is 

 highly wrought and poetically conceived, though the subject does not hit our 

 fancy. Several tastefully executed landscapes, by G. S. SHEPHERD, are de- 

 serving of notice, especially 109, Study of an Old House. 32. Stone Mason's 

 Yard, and 169, Tlie Farm at Kentish Town. There are also some clever draw- 

 ings by LAPORTE, DOWNING, LINES and MOORE. The Disconsolate, C. 

 HANCOCK, representing a dog howling after his lost master Shakespeare's 

 Cliff. J. TENNANT City of Hereford. T. POWELL Please to remember the 

 Grotto. W. H. KEARNEY various works by C. R. STANLEY Canal Scene, 

 Morning 178. Windsor Castle, G. H. PHILLIPS, are all creditable to the 

 present advanced state of water colour painting. 



EXETER HALL. EXHIBITION OF PAINTINGS BY THE 

 OLD MASTERS. 



THIS Exhibition contains many curious specimens of the Flemish, Dutch 

 and Italian Schools. A Philosopher in his Study A. DE GELDER, is worthy 

 the attention of the artist, as an example of sunny light and rich surface : it is 

 of the school of REMBRANDT. Amor, attributed to DOMENICHINO, is beauti- 

 fully designed, though rather too much like a painted statue. The wings are 

 loaded with pigment, and their hue is of lead, but the eye reposes w th 

 satisfaction on the head : its expression is particularly sweet.
