Died.| At Kendal, Mr. R. Seaton, a 
young artist of great promise. Having disco- 
vered at an early period a considerable taste 
for drawing, he was bound apprentice to a 
house painter, but very soon gave evidence, 
by his sketches, that he was destined by 
genius for amuch higher rank in the pro- 
gession. He attracted the attention of several 
gentlemen of taste in the arts, and was par- 
ticularly patronised by Mr. Green, a West- 
moreland artist, whose landscapes and views 
of the lakes have been,a subject of just admi- 
ration to all who have seen them. Mr. 
Harden, a gentleman who lives near Amble- 
side, recommended him to Mr. Nasmyth of 
Edinburgh, and by him he was amply recom- 
mended to teach drawing at Aberdeen. This 
ne did successfully and with considerable 
approbation, for some seasons, occasionally 
visiting Cumberland and Westmoreiand in 
the summer, where he took sketches from 
wature amid the surrounding scenery in this 
beautifully romantic quarter of the island. 
in the course of last autumn, his health began 
visibly to decline, and a languid disease, 
which eccasioned a considerable degreé of 
bodily distress, even produced no little portion 
of gloom in his mind and temper. He re 
turned to Kendal, at which place his aged 
father lives, and there ended a life of uncom- 
mon talent and unremitting ingustry. Mr. 
Seaton’s abjlities as an artist were chiefly 
distinguishable by an accurate representation 
of the objects presented to him, whether 
nature on her more*extended scale of moun- 
tains, valiies, rivers, hill and dale, or those 
nearer and nivre minute representations, which 
require the nicest discrimination. In grouping 
the human figure, and exhibiting the varied 
characters in these groups, he was frequently 
very successful, This was strongly illus- 
trated in his Ambleside Fair, and the View 
of Castle-street, Aberdeen, on a Market Day, 
in both of which, the greater part of the 
figures were real portraits.—Both these pieces 
were crawings in China ink, and the last in 
particular on a very large scale. Indeed, in 
China ink drawings he discovered peculiar 
Cumberland and Westmoreland: 
{May t, 
excellence, managing his lights and shadows 
with great dexterity.. His landscapes in 
water colours were also. wonderfully correct, 
and often very beautifully tinted, especialy 
some of his views of the Westmoreland and 
Cumberland Lakes, scenes which were familiar 
to his eye and strongly impressed on his ima~ 
gination. He was employed to make two 
sets of drawings for views of Néw and Old 
Aberdeen, the one in colours and the other in 
China ink. They were correct portraits of 
the scenes they represent, and most elabo- 
rately finished; and ‘rom the Chinaink draw- © 
ings, Mr. Nasmyth ot Edinburgh painted twe 
' most beautiful pictures, which do the greatest 
honour to the pencil of that excellent artist. 
From these pictures, two prints have been 
recently engraved and tinted by Mr.Lewis, of 
Enfield. The prints are not as yet published 
but are nearly finished in the tinting. Proofs 
of them are in the possession of the publisher, 
Mr. Ewen, who has in his collection some 
rare’specimens of Mr. Seaton’s views of the 
lakes. Mr. Seaton sometimes painted in oil, 
and as he preposed to himself a mor2 exten- / 
sive practice in that department of the art, 
had he lived, it is probable he weuld have 
acquired in this also, distinguished excellence, 
In some of his water coloured dravings, 
although correct and elaborate, he sometimes — 
indulged in deep colouring.. This was pro- 
bably the effect of patient labour, but his 
skies thereby acquired too much of the turbid 
gloom of an approaching storm. This how- 
ever was only an occasional defect, which, it 
is probable, time and experience would have 
sufficiently corrected.
