Σελίδα 364 - No master, however, is so well represented, either in number or quality, as Sir Joshua Reynolds, so that it may boldly be asserted that no one who has not seen this gallery can judge of the powers of the great English master in their whole extent.
Σελίδα 37 - ... two Tritons ; above, two boys pointing to tablets with numbers, and bearing on their heads the dial-plate with a crown ; in the centre a kind of satyr with a painful expression. About 1 ft. 6 in. high, 10 in. wide. The following inscription, not entirely legible, in pale ink : — " . . . hora . . . facta pro Anthony deny Camerario regis quod in initio novi anni 1544 regi dedet.
Σελίδα 132 - The hostess is at the door taking up a child, which has clung to her knees as if frightened. A peasant sits at the other side of the door filling his pipe. At the end of the house, and leading to an adjoining cottage, is a flight of stone steps with two children at the foot; a woman sitting at her spinning-wheel, and a man standing at her side, are at the top of the steps. A pig, a dog, and some fowls are near some rude buildings or sheds on the opposite side. In front is a basket lying on its side....
Σελίδα 71 - ... same race can be, from the expression both of face and gesture, in those old Greek sculptures, and in the old Italian painters.; and, it must be said, in the portraits •of Reynolds, and Gainsborough, Copley, and Eomney.
Σελίδα 417 - ... selection of these pictures of the English and earlier Dutch schools. DINING-ROOM. SIR DAVID WILKIE. — The Rent-Day. It is superfluous to say a word as to the subject of a picture so well known to the public by means of Raimbach's excellent engraving. All I need say, therefore, is that, as regards refinement of motive, individuality of expression, clearness and power of colouring, and solid execution and rendering of forms, this picture, painted in 1809, is the finest I know by the master.
Σελίδα 112 - ... rendering to humanity on behalf of the American people, whose steward it is. Essentially an agent of service, the Red Cross work originally was confined to hospitals, where the pharmacist and the surgeon worked hand in hand. Now that tne scope of the Red Cross has taken in humanitarian efforts — the feeding of the hungry, the clothing of the naked and the housing of the homeless — the pharmaceutical-surgical side has been more or less overlooked by the public, yet it is as important as ever....
Σελίδα 370 - There is no doubt that these figures are the most important works executed by Sir Joshua out of the field of portrait-painting. Though the designs are not near equal to the heads in point of finish, yet, as designs, they are very distinguished.
Σελίδα 492 - Parian marhle, is by far the most remarkable object. It bears much resemblance to that in the Uffizi at Florence, called the Dog of Alcibiades, but is more animated and of more careful workmanship. The left fore foot alone is new. An example of the Discobulus standing at ease — a good Roman work of Parian marble — is also worthy of remark.
Σελίδα 518 - Powerful and clear, in subdued and harmonious colouring, and of broad treatment. VANDYCK. — 1. The painter David Ryckart in a fur cap and furred dress and red waistcoat. Bust picture, on wood. Of the frequent repetitions of this portrait the best, which is to the knees, is in the gallery at Dresden. The specimen here is also animated and careful, but less clear in colour. is worthily conceived. The tone of the flesh yellow in the lights and. very dark in the shadows. VANDYCK. — 2. Portrait of...
