of the nineteenth century. Among these I noted
two excellent works by John Lewis Brown—not
those little pieces which one frequently meets with
at the dealers’, but large landscapes, paintings
marked by fine feeling and broad treatment of
colour. MM. Durand-Ruel have always been
among the admirers of Boudin, and the two
marine pieces of his in their hands are among his
best; in these the painter of Honfleur, whose output
was extensive and at times somewhat unequal, reveals
himself in his leaden skies, his northern waters
with their correct rendering of tone, and wharves
crowded with slender-masted ships. In contem-
plating the works of this master and those of
Lepine (1835-1892) one understands more clearly
than ever the reason for the success which fell to
these landscape painters of the middle of the past
century.

certainly one which deserves success. The arrange-

nothing to be desired. As a novel feature in the

of studies from living animals, which M. Navellier
is to conduct in a room specially adapted for the

exhibitions of works by old and modern masters
