Th e present Exhibition of works by ti few of the leadinf' artists of P'nulaud hi ilted fn do I the ot rai^iuuci nas resuiiea iroin a part of the Council to afford the members of the Art Association and the })ublic generally, an opportunity of examining and forming an opinion of English Art of the present time. During the Spring of 1887 and the Fall of 1888, the fine Loan Exhibitions held here, proved Montreal to be well supplied with good examples by the masters of the modern French and Dutch Schools. These Exhibitions also proved however, how few pictures of a higher rank had found their way here from the English School. Mr. MacGillycuddy going to England in the latter part of the month of July last, was commissioned to make arrangements for obtainina fifteen or twenty jiictures, it being necessary to limit the number owing to the great value of representative paintings by leaders of the British School. A number of difficulties had to be overcome. Most of the Artists and owners of pictures had left London for the summer, the Camberwell Loan Exhibition commenced in October, and a number of paintings were at the Exposition Universelle in Paris. Notwithstanding these obstacles the requisite number of pictures was secured, including such masterpieces as Mr. G. F. Watts' " Love and Life," (one of his greatest works), Mr. E. Burne- Jones' " Tower of Brass," and Mr. Solomon J. Solomon's "Niobe." These pictures have been supplemented by a few others kindly lent by collectors in this City. The Council acknowledges its great indebtedness to Mr. W. 1).

W»« eduoatcd hi l'l\eter ColU'gp, Oxford, where lie iit an early period attaclu'd hiiiiselt'to a bund of men wlio were destined to accomplish much in rcffencration of the decorative arts. These men recofjnizing the liiidncss of all the surroundings of life, set themselves the task of their rescue, turning their attention to the humblest things. At ii later period, after leaving the university, Ford Maddox Hrown, E. Burne-Jones, Wm. Morris, with assistanci' from Dante (J. Rosetti, associated themselves together in business, witli a ri'>ult which is actively at work in influencing all productions in dccoruti\e art at this day. By the year IS.Ifi or tliereabouts the I're-Hapliaclitr fraternity as regards its leaders, had con.-idi'rably divtrgiil, both Millais and Kossetti markedly so, the latter at this linii' in externals a[iproii''hing the ui(ted them to undei take a joint Rchen\e for the decoration of the debating hall of thf Oxford Uiuon.

" Hither came at noon inoiirnful yl'lnont', wandfring forlorn of I'aris, onre her jilayniatr on tln^ hills." First c.Khiliitcd in tlii' (Irosvenor Gallrry in 1886. CAMERON (Hugh) K.s.A. Kensington, Was born in Jvliidiurj,di and rfinovod to i,oiidon in 187ti. For a time he childly jiaintod Vcni'tian Subjects, but his favourite themes arc illustrations of the humble peasant life of Scotland. Thercniarkablecxainiilein ilie luvsent eollectiou vibrates to the same key note to which the |iresent lia,i;ue school istuned, and is .suggestive of the pathos and jioetiy of Israels.

There isgreat charm in all ( 'a nieion'.-, work, cvokingsympathetic response and encircling his sulijei'ts with poetic si'ntiment of the best kind. ^3 — A lonely life. DOUGLAS (Sir William Fettes) P.K.s.A. Edinburgh. Born in Scotland (Edinburgh LS23) and ed'U'ated in that Country, liis worii, chielly portraiture, is well known and nuicii esteemed. Ho was niddc an Associate of tlie Royal Scottish Academy in 1851 an Academician in ISSr), and in 1882 was elected to the Presidency when the usual honor of knij^hthood was conferred ujion him. Apart from portraits the Aitist's works arc chielly historical although not tmfrecjuently he expounds Scottish character both on its humorous and on its more sondjre side with much insight •nd force, more rarely and occasionally paints a landscape. 4 — A Rosicrucian. The Rosicrucians were members of u secret society of the 17th century. The founder of the society, Rosenkrenz, learned all the science of the Arabians and the magic of the Moors. In the opinion of the order, it was light that produced gold. The alchemist in the picture is evidently trying some mysterious experiment to solve the problem of the precious metal, and possibly to discover the necret of life itself, as he studies the irridescuut bubbles rising from the retort before him. 5 — Stonehaven, from Bervie Braes. EAST (Alfred) London. Although com[iaratively a young man Mr. East is one of the leaders of the best School of English Modern Landscape. He has tmanci[iated his art from the old superficial style which passed for landscape jiainting and has endowed his works with tlie poetry, the glamour, the mysterio:isness and the very sjiirit of nature. He is one in heart with the immortal Harbizon band, and has drunk at the same fount of inspiration. He f xhibited at the Royal Academy in 1877 a noble landscape entitled, " The Laud between the Lochs," which a writer pronounced at the time to be beyond all doubt the most subtle interpretive landscape either at the Grosvenor or Academy. Of his "Moonrise in Septeud)er" and "Evening after a Storm," exhibited at thf Institute of I'ainters, a writer in the Magazine of Art says, " W for nothing else the present Exhil)ition deserves to be remembered for Mr. East's magnificent transcripts from nature, Few finer landscapes have been exhibited by Englishmen for some years, than these ; they show an aiijireciation of tone and a feeling for the subtleties of atmospheric effect and of light which are only too rare in contemporary landscape painting." In studying his work we feel the veil is partially lifted from nature and we have a glini])se of things not often revealed to us, evidencing on the part of the artist an unusually devout, reverend and sympathetic si)irit. ■^6 — By tranquil Waters. Exhibited in the Royal Academy in 1886. *7 — In the time of Buttercups. ELLIS (Edwin) R.B.A. A Landscape and Marine Artist, was born at Nottingham in 1843, and is practically self taught. Mr. Ellis is a regular exhibitor at the Royal Academy and the chief annual exhibitions in the Provinces. One of his linest and best known works, "The Haven under the Hill" was purchased in 1885 by the Manchester Cor- ]ioration for the Art Museum of that City. A rapid and vigorous painter, both in Water Colour and in Oil. 8 — Hauling Nets, Anglesey. 9 — Penmaenbach, N. Wales. 10 — The Dove Cot. FILDES (S. Luke) RA. London. Born near London in T84t ; cducatectcd him an Associate in 1879 and an Academician last year, he is eminently an Artist of the purely English school. At I'liiladelphia in 1876 ami at Paris in 1878 he was represented by his noted picture "The London Casuals, waiting their turn for admission to the "Workhouse," from the 8 Academy Exhibition of 1874, the motive of which is rendered with a tierce realism, weird and terrible. In 1876 he exhibited "The Widower" witli its tender and heart-rending pathos and again in 1879 "The Penitent's Kctiirn" iierhajis hi.s greatest work, and by whicii he was represented in Paris this year. The later works of this most aciomiilishcd Artist are in a dilFereut vein. He is one of the leaders of a new I'orni ol' natui'alisni and is even called "the ajiostle of the daylight sdiool." "The Village Wedding" in tlio Academy of 1883, and tiie much engraved "Venetians " in 188;') are examples of his now work and the small picture here shown is of the same class. Hut whether depicting the sombre or the bright side of life his types are good and well chosen, his work is bold and vigorous and is moreover of a character that will instruct posterity and long outlast his day and generation. II — The Gardener's Niece. GHENT (Peter) Member of the Royal Cambrian Academy, and an artist who has risen to considerable eminence as a painter of Welsh landscapes and interiors, both in Oil and Water Colour. A regular exhibitor at the Royal Academy, Grosvenor Gallery, &c. Two iine landscapes purchased by the Liverpool Corporation for the Walker Art Gallery and there on ]>■ manent exhibition have much tended to enhance the reputation of Mr. Ghent. Resides at Llanbedr, N. Wales. 12 — Interior of a Welsh Cottage. GOW (Mary L.) R.I. London. Miss Gow is one of a band of lady Artists who are nobly assarting themselves in the field of Art. A member of the Royal Institute, she has vindicated the wisdom of the selection. "Something Interesting," by which she is represented in thiscolleotion, was first exhibited in the Royal Academy in 1882, and was justly admired for its truthful insight into child-life, and for it« delicate and beautiful harmony of colour. A innrK iniportnnt picture, fiititled the '•Willow Pattern Plate," was exliibited at the Royal Institute of 1880, a yuunj,' mother is telling her invalid little girl the story of the Willow Pattern, the subject is a simple one and of a class of genre work, of which tlio artist is fond and which is sure to be pojiular. In hU Miss Gow's work we find sentiment of the better kind forming the key note, but always naturally expressed, her drawing is correct, and her colour true and harmonious. 13- -Something interesting. HAGUE (Anderson) Manchester. A member of the Mancliester Acailemy of Fine Arts, and of the Royal (Jambrian Academy. Mr. Hague was born at Rusholmc in 1850, He studied for a considerable jjeriod in the Manchester School of Art. Has latterly devoted himself to landscajie ])ainting. As a powerful and brilliant colourist this Artist takes deservedly » high rank amongst modern English iminters. 14 — Feeding the Ducks. This small work which is here called by the name of the large picture, is one of the Artist's preliminary studies to the work exhibited in the Grosvenor (iallery this year, and which evoked such favour- able ciitici.sm ircnorallv. HUNTER (Colin) A.R.A., R.l. London, Born in Glasgow in 18 12 and as an artist said to lie self-taught. His best known picture. " Trawlers wailing for darkness," was in the Academy of 187S, at Philadelphia in 1876, and again at Paris in 1878 ; and his work "' Their share of the Toil " from the Academy of 1887, was in Paris at. the P^xhibitioii iluring the present year. Some five years ago Mr. Hunter visited Canada and his Academy picture of 1885 "The Ra[iids of Niagara above the Falls " was one result of his trip to this country. It is as a renderer of fisher life and a depictor of lisher folk, that he is best known and in that department of art he stands almost alone. 15 — Aird-Mhor-Mangursta Village & Harbour. :!■ 10 JACOMB-HOOD (George P.)

His oontrilmtion to the (irosvenor (iallery in 1888, a large meritorious work with a decorative motive. " Tliu Triiimidi of Siiring," was one of the noteworthy e.vhibits of the year. The yiresent work ehallenges romjiarison with the, to us, well known work of Gabriel Max and does not suffer thereby. *i6 — " She is not dead, but sleepeth ! " From the Royal Academy Exhibition of 1885. LAWSON (Cecil) Deceased. Horn in Shroiisliire, England, li^.M. Very early in life he showed a love of art. First exhibiteil in the liritisli Society, 18t)6 ami the Royal Academy 1871. In IS?:! he travelled through France, Holland and Belgium. Jn the Royal Academy of ls70, apjieared the "lloiiChirdens," and inLH7S,tlic '• Minister's (larden." These first established his fame. In I87l> he married, and during 1880 he jiainted his greatest work— " The August Moon," wliith his widow has given to the National (cillery. About this time, i)ulmonary disease alleeted him, and he died in June, 1882, aged 31. After the death of Con.stable, landscape painting in England degeii- erated, for although Turner survived him for several years, it will be remembered, the former, during his survivorship, abandoned pure landseaiie iiainting for ideal ami mythological subjects, which he delineated with a pyrotechnical wealth of colour. This change of style gave rise, more or less, to imitation, by men who were witliout t lie genius of Turner to jialliate eccentricity with originality, t'onseiiuciitly during a ]ieriod, ranging say from 18;!.') to 1870, English Landscapists worked in false and incongruous C 11 colour, mill (luir works were at brst Imt a litfral delineation of form, without iiipiiiity or HUgKeHtivciifss. Yet at this tiiiio, France was i>rn(huiii<^ .some of tlu' best work in this hrandi of Art, which her sriiool iiosscsscs, tlirnu},'h her Troyou, Kduhscuu, Corot, Dauliij^'ny and Diaz, and tor which these {?reat men acknowledged thi'ir iiidcliteduess to the English iiaintir. Constable. The apiMarancc of Cecil Law.son thus oiiincd a new era in Knglish l.andscapc Art. His works iicl|ifd to regenerate it from the slough of despond into which it liad sunk. He showed himself able to raise iigain landsen|M' jiaintiug above tiie mere drawing of trees and cottages, of hill and dale in varieil and false colour, into objects of ideal beauty and grandeur, without the undue sacrilice of truth, and nature in her stormiest as well as her peace- ful aspects, in a wealth of colour, yet in perfect harmony. His works show him to have been efpially at home in the jilacid valley and among rugged mountains, in storm and in sunshine ; for in all he reveals his deep sense of the inner beauties and forces of nature, with that happy blending of Painter and I'oet, necessary to constitute a great artist. i7_Tlie Old Mill Sunset. 1 8 — Cattle returninn home. LOGSDAIL (William) London. A leader in the new school of out-of-door workers, painters of day- light, aiid even of suu-light, with a photograiihic apjireciation of detail and a keen ey<' for colour. Tlu'se two London street scenes with their living, moving crowds are nuirvellous examples of learned dexterity and patiemc. ""'19 — The Bank of England.

MOORE (Albert) .A.R.W.s Kensington. A native of York. An exainiih' of a iiaiiiter devoted to a |ilia.so of Art peculiarly unique, his aim is the iidizatiou of heauty hotli in dpsigii ami colouring as well as subject. He is no Arcliicologist, his beautiful draiieries are of his own creation, and do not rejire- seut those of any time or peiiod, and one has to dismiss all ideas of educational advantages in that direction, the same remark applying also to the accessories, as in the subject before us. The chair with its beautiful tones of silvery gray, was in reality jjro- bably a wooden chair luid nut long at'terwurtls an Auadeiiiician.

Wales. ORCHARDSON (William Quiller) R.A. London. 1 I 1 I Mr. Orelmrdson is universally aeeejited as one of the leading representa- tives of iiiodera ICnglish Art. iSorn in Edinburgh in 1835, he studied and paiiiii'd tliere until in ]St]3 he removed to London where he still resides. 'His large '"(^ueen of the Swords," of which the W(jrk in the present Exlnbition is a reduction, was exhibited at the Koyal Academy in 1877, attracting much attention, and largely contributed to Ins being elected an Academician in the following year. -Mr. Orehardson's recent subjects have been mainly on Society incidents, either in a vein of deliialc cumedy. nv relliied tragedy ; yet he is no mere fashionable |iaint('i-. In his "Napoleon on boarl the Bellero[ilion" painted a few years ago, lie revealed an insight into profound emotion and character and a Tunstery of exjiressioii, of the highest order. This [licture was bought by the Koyal Academy under tlie terms of the Chantrey Heiiuest. He has also gone to Venice for themes for his brush giving us the " Market Girl from the Lido," the "Venetian Fruit SclKi-." and others, and has not disdained the well worn Shakespearian subjects of "Hamlet and the King," "Ophelia" etc. In 1881 he exhil)ited at the Royal Academy " Un Mariage de ("onveiiauce," which was very favouralily referred to at the time as "remarkable for .subtle character, painting and colour." Two years later he exhibited another picture under a simihir '.itU', with the allix of "After"' in which with all Hogarth's incisiveness but without tlie coarseness, he points an obvious moral. In the last exhibition of the Koyal Academy his "Young Duke " was perhaps one of the most notable 15 picturt's of the wliolu collection iiini sliowed remarkably cliivor handling of a difficult subject. The nidiive of his works may not be very exalted, Imt in atylo they are always elegant, delicate and relined, and have a courtly grace all their own. His techninuc although sometimes slight, is yet of a high ([uality and his colour sense is subtle and tender without being weak. In his lf)ve of tawny yellow melting into [learly grey and delicate irridesceiise. he is uni(iue and has struck out a distinct and original treatment develofiing the most brilliant results. 28 — The Queen of the Swords. The subject is suggested in Sir Walter Scott'a " Pirate," the moment chosen being when Minna Troil, the " Queen of Swords " daintily clad in maize, trips down the avenue of .steel. 29 — Jeanie Deans & Dumbiedikes. " This is my bank, .leaiue lass," he .said, looking fir.st at her and then at the treasure, with an air of great complacency,— " nane o' your goldsmith's bills for me, — they bring folk to ruin." Then, suddenly changing his tone— "Jeanie, I will make ye Lady Dumbiedikes afore the .sun sets, and ye may ride to Luunon in your ain coach, if ye like "But, Laird" said Jeanie, who felt the necessity of being explicit with so extraordinary a lover, "I like another man better than you, and I canny marry ye." "Another man better than me, Jeanie!" saitl Dumbiedikes — "how i« th;vt possible > It's no possible woman, ye hae ken'd me sae lang." "Ay, but Laird," said Jeanie, " I hac keu'd him langer." " Langer '. It's no possible ! " exclaimed the poor Laird. " It canna be ; ye were born on the land. Jeanie woman, ye haena lookit, — ye hacna seen half o'tlie gear." He drew out another drawer. " A gowd, Jeanie, and there's bands for siller lent, anil the rental book, Jeanie— clear three hundred sterling,dcil a wadset, heritabls band, or burden — yo haena lookit at them woman," etc. The Heart of Mid-Lothian. 16 OUSEY (B.)

One of thk: giants of the younger English School. In daringness of conception and pxecution, Mr. Solomon is uiia]i|iroachcd liy any ol' his Knglish t'ontcm|ioraries. lie studied at the Royal Academy Schools and then went foi' a short time to I'aris where he came under the inlluence of Caltanel) Returning to London he made a naiiH! lor himself almost at (juce. Contenting himself liy cxhiliiting one large imjiortant pictuie annually at the Royal Academy, he lavished on it all the strengtli and passion of his initiirc, and as a revolt IVom the weak inanities of numy of the older English Artists and even of srimc of the Acadeuncians themselves liis work should he hailed with delight and encourage- ment. In 188(i his "Cassandia/' rcjiresenting her liuriu' away liy Ajax from the tcnijilc of Mincr\-a on the taking of Troy, was exhibited at the Royal Acailemy and by its daring force ami positivism challenged and olitained recognition. Next year there was no falling away but a higher note was struck in his " Samson." where the masterly drawing of straining muscle and sinew and the nmcking Jeers of the treacherous Delilah nud\c u{i a com|iosition not easily forgotten. In the last lloyal Acailemy Exliibition ap)ica.red his "Sacred and I'lofane Love," an allegorical subject, full of genuine serious work, It is safe to }iredict for Mr. .Solomon a brilliant future. ^■y I Niobe.
