THE BRIDGEWATER GALLERY.

163

TURNER (T. W, M.), R.A., now living, 1843.
317 Sea View—with a gale, and a heavy rolling sea. Three
Dutch fishing-boats are near the front, and some ships of
war appear in the distance. A most admirable picture,
in the earlier and better manner of the painter.
C. 5 ft. by 7 ft.
WILSON (Richard), R.A., b. 1714; d. 1782.
318 A Landscape—with a river flowing at the base of a high
hill; two figures seated in the foreground.
319 Landscape.—Niobe.*—A subject often repeated by the
painter. There is one in the National Gallery, another in
the possession of Mr. H. Munroe.
* This picture, or rather this subject, gave occasion to a criticism, rather
severe, yet not wholly unjust, in Sir Joshua Reynolds’s “ Discourses;” but he
did not love Wilson. See his fourteenth discourse.

NOTE.
Since the foregoing sheet was printed, I find that two
of the pictures mentioned no longer form part of this
collection:—
101 The Infant Saviour and St. John.
140 Landscape, by Berghem.
