ART AND ARTISTS. 
Academy of Design. 
This present exhibition, as a whole, is so un¬ 
usually good that it is a matter of some surprise 
that it is not more largely attended. The absence 
of any one, or two, or even more, startling or 
sensational pictures, which arc too apt to receive 
undue attention and prevent the thorough 
study of the others, is characteristic of this 
season. Lundseupea predominate, and a nura- 
ber although well painted, p<>- esa no special 
inl' ir l. and may all bo catalogued oil together 
as “pood, pleasant, or pretty.” 
\V. D. Washington in “Near Lexington, 
Va,," and A. W. Thompson, in “ The Chain id 
Mount I’isguh, Western North Carolina,” give 
excellent pictures of Southern scenery. II is a 
decided relief to have visible proof that seme 
artists do Tinl go to the Adirondack*, the White 
Mountains or tha C&tskill every summer, for 
making sketches. 
“An Indian Summer's Sunset,” by A. '1'. 
Bhichlk, hasnl llrst glance an open, bold-faced 
appearance, but which vanishes hi a second look. 
A broad, open stream run* through the center, 
flowing toward you without perceptible motion. 
The tree's, some strippeil <»f verdure, lean from 
the shore toward tlio water. The horizon is 
hardly defined, the distance so veiled in mist. 
Cumwlotis elomls, lipped with fiittne ilcat low in 
the sky. Tlu- sun, like a i.iyle..* ball of lire looks 
down in the si ream. 
“A Country Home/* by 8. J. bn aughniV' Y, 
lias a quiet, comfortable look, and with that 
peculiar lazy atmosphere lhat envelopes such 
paradises in summer. A collage is embedded in 
foliage, I lie trees are elms, a stream winds off 
toward the distant town. A boy is driving the 
cowa to the pasture. 
“Tint-oi Spring," by N. A. Moore of Kcn- 
eington, Conn., is a farm house landscape, wiili 
fruit trees in bloom. A huge, old I’ashioued farm 
house, with maples in front, a grove at t he left, 
tt large pond at the roar, and the road in front 
winding over a bridge. The iliac blooms at the 
window and a branch of apple blossoms are well 
painted. The other blossoms, good in color, lack 
tile feathery, almost loamy, lightness of spring 
blooms. 
“ Ruffed Grouse,” by A. F.Tait, is as pretty a 
picture of leathered life a s one could wish. The 
mates with their brood of tiny, bright-eyed 
grousllugs, are teaching them to cat in an open¬ 
ing of a thicket. 
“ Anton Romake " of Rome, t* represented by 
a number of pictures, owned by Euwin Thorne, 
of which “Leonora and Tasso" is tho best. 
The poet, with his waving, raven hull’and glori¬ 
ous black eyes, with niffs at the throat and 
wrists of his then fashionable costume, sits in 
the open air, with trees and flowers and foun¬ 
tains about. Willi parchment Jit one. hand, a pen 
in i lie Ollier, Ids eye learns tho presence of tuto¬ 
rs' oka, who crowns him with a laurel wreath. 
She is represented as a maiden of the most 
ohurmingSouthern type, withagrueeam! beauty 
of face and mien that would distract the serenity 
of almost any susceptible soul. 
A. li. Durand of Orange, N..L, sends two pic¬ 
tures, “Tin; Tryst!ng Tree,” which has “hills, 
woods and clouds," the “Hudson," a “moonlit 
shore,” a large oak, beneath whoso shade, with 
rocks for seals, somebody kneels at “ Ulov \ an 
i'oiituandt's" foot for her heart, and gets it,ac¬ 
cording to the poem. The Ollier, “A Mountain 
Forest," is largo and grand in it subject and 
treatment. Durand seems to disdain any but 
mouarehsand klilgs among tree-, ami a large In e 
has n strength and power aboui it find is fascin¬ 
ating. Vateliesofmos.suml sunlight checker I lie 
bodies of the trees. Two deer are seen in the 
forest. 
“The Stolen Child," by Lons La no, is Ulus- 
tratIve of "Gltanilla,” one of ihe tales of Cer¬ 
vantes. Vhf.ciosa, the heroine of noble parent¬ 
age. is stolen at an early age by gypsies, among 
whom she grows into u girl of great beauty and 
grace, is wooed and married ton lover of gentle 
birth. After many incidents and encounters, 
lliey are restored to tho state and fortune to 
which they were born. This picture represents 
Prlciosa very soon niter her capture by tho 
gypsies, standing in their midst, her fair beauty, 
her dainty garment*, and every evidence of 
gentle birth and loving carcnbnnl her, forming 
a pitiful contrast to the queen of tho hng.\ who 
is trying to reconcile and interest her, by the dis¬ 
play ol gaudy jewels and gyp*ey finery. A nol her 
plays the lamborlne, a lioy lying on hi* back, 
holds up one leg, with a sphere lying in the hol¬ 
low of his foot; another, a dagger on Ids shoul¬ 
der, with the point down. Cut the little \ch'l is 
frightened and indignant, and just ready to 
bur. t Into tears. An old man gypsey stands at 
(he left, with Ids head bent down, hut watching 
the child with Ids peering out eyes. Ilis face ia 
a curious blending of sternness and pity. The 
picture is strong in composition, color und 
sentiment, 
“The Wanderer," by Wm. M. Davis, isn series 
of small pictures revealing the aspirations ol a 
boy’s life, whose taste is for a bout and water to 
swim it in. The first, flows tho boy at home with 
a bo lt under Ids arm. The la: t, lie stands with 
his boat by tho Bea, looking nut on Ihe broad ex¬ 
panse at tho whito winged ships. 
In " In the Pasture," by Miss C. M. CnowiIS, or 
Poughkeepsie, N. Y., wo have a capital paint¬ 
ing of cmvs, grazing, chewing the cud. looking at 
you, and moving leisurely along. La? t y car tlds 
same artist showed one of the best cattle pieces 
in the exhibition. IVo naturally expect women 
to paint fruit and flowers well, but when ono 
paints cuttle, she raises our expectation. Ropa 
Bond unit's patrons may be sending to America 
some day. 
“Spring" has four or five interpreters, all 
rendered after tho same text “How fresh And 
beautiful is the Spring, etc." "Summer" and 
“ Aid umn" have been “ done for " in an equally 
sentimental mood. School boy coin positions 
must have their day in everything. 
“ Wine Tasters" by J. B. Hiving, a few grn- 
llemen tasting and discussing wine, is much in 
little, ami, as an interior with figures, quite 
equal to some of the best specimens of tho 
French school. 
“ Moonrlsa after a Gale" by W, V. W. Dana, 
is only ihe sea, "dark, heaving, boundless, 
endless and sublime,” with tho full moon shin¬ 
ing across the lurid waves. Ii is a wonderfully 
effective piece of moon and wave seen through 
the window of a picture frame. 
“The Weaver” by E. W. Perkv, is ft some¬ 
what primitive picture of domestic lll’o. A 
young woman sits at a loom weaving. The gar¬ 
ret is neat, as is she, llie loom in good order, 
none of her threads out of place, and a pile of 
red checked apples liuvc been poured on the 
floor in one corner. Mr. Perry has painted 
some very truthful and pleasing pictures of 
lowly homo life. 
The brothers Frankenstein have returned 
from Europe after two years absence, with port¬ 
folios full of sketches made in England and 
Switzerland. 
The Chicago Academy of Design is to receive 
fifty antique casta of great excellence which 
have been purchased in llotne. 
A large sale of paintings, the collection of Mr. 
K n’orw.kh, by native and foreign artist*, took 
place last week. Many of the paintings went at 
a sacrifice, “The Princes* "I Morocco," by 
Vkrnkt, the gem of tho collection, sold for $1,MX) 
to Mr, Sanford. The same gentleman also pur 
chased, “ A Florin Scene near Naples," by 
Andreas Ariti:vitAOlL for $1,500, the original 
sale being $2,000. “The Prole: *or'« Daughter,” 
bv A. StEGiur, of Duss.ldoi fj $:>H0. “Summer 
Afternoon, Farmington River," by J. M. Hart 
of New York, $72f>, “ Fountaiueblosui,” by Paul 
WiSiil-R, of Darmstadt, £J80. Other painting* 
ranged in price from $15 to $400. Many of the 
piireliusera and bidders were connoisseur* in art, 
and gratified their taste at very moderate cost.
