“PORTRAIT OF HIMSELF AS a YOUNG max” by REMBRANDT
(In possession of I. Piertont Morgan, Esq.)

The exhibition of pictures by
George Morland, which has been
arranged in the India Museum
Galleries at South Kensington, is.
of much importance as a demon-
stration of the powers of an artist
who is rightly counted among our
greater masters. The pictures,
brought together effectively illus-
trate the strength and the variety
of his achievement. There are
among them several of his finest,
landscapes, some interiors with
animals, a number of his domestic:
genre compositions, and a few
portraits. Not everything in the
show is equally important; indeed,
some canvases in the collection,
represent him at moments when
he was scarcely capable of doing,
justice to his reputation. But
the best examples are wholly ad-
mirable exercises in spontaneous-
and decisive brushwork, delight-
ful arrangements of sensitive-
colour, and marked especially by
that wonderful sympathy with,
nature which was perhaps Morland’s-
highest endowment. The exhi-
bition is in every way commend-
able, and claims attention from.
