shows the power of the painter. It is a “VIEW NEAR 
Bury St. EDMUND’s,” and it hangs on the line, to the 
right of the centre and by the side of the last- 
mentioned picture, the work of his father. 
A portrait in water colour of JOHN BERNEY Crom 
by H. B. Love, also a Norwich man (b. 1800, d. 1838), 
will be found at the side of the doorway by which the 
visitor entered the Picture Gallery. , 
JouHNn SELL Cotman (b. 1782, d. 1842) is more

early stage of its progress, ‘‘A VIEW ON THE NORWICH 
RIvER,” described in a memorandum by the artist

door, ‘A CASTLE IN NORMANDY” and ‘‘ YARMOUTH 
TOWER,” will give an idea of the breadth and simplicity 
so characteristic of Cotman, and will show how much

ComposiTIon), will also illustrate his treatment of 
landscape, while a portrait of PROFESSOR BARLOW, 
on the left of the doorway, will show how wide was 
the painter’s range in subject.

a Norwich artist of great ability. His fine picture — 
of Greenwich Hospital, it may be remembered, was a 
surprise to the public at the International Exhibition 
of 1862. He is represented here at present by one 
small picture only, ‘“ RoaD SCENE AND COTTAGE,”— 
east wall, third picture from south end. 
Above the Vincent is a small sea view, “A PIER 
HEAD WITH Boats,” exceedingly well drawn and
