180. A View in Norway, representing a wild romantic
scene, with a torrent of water rolling amongst fragments of
rocks, and falling in cascades on the front-ground, over which
it spreads in foaming eddies. On the right is the trunk of a
tree; and beyond it are other trees, which form a fine oppo-
sition to the sky. The scene is enlivened with seven figures,
and some sheep, by Berghem.

181. A Landscape, composed on the left of a broken clayey
road, winding over a steep hill, the sides of which are thickly
overgrown with bushes, brambles, and wild herbage; a sedgy
pool is at the base of the hill, on the left, and two men are on
its summit, near a clump of bramble trees, the tints of which
are opposed against a clear sky. This is a production of
superlative quality.
