Superintendent of Art Gallery : RICHARD QUICK. Prefatory Note, HE Bristol Art Gallery was generously presented to the City by Sir William Henry Wills, Bart. (Lord Winterstoke), and the key of the building handed over to the Lord Mayor on January 2nd, 1905. The building is classic in style, and of imposing appearance, the crowning feature of the elevation being a sculptured group symbolical of the arts of painting, sculpture, and architecture. It is built of Bath stone, which is admirably suited to this style of architecture. The f a9ade is 136 ft. by 1 12 ft. The architects were Mr. Frank Wills, F.R.I.B.A., and Messrs. Houston and Houston, A.R.I.B.A. The large, top - lighted Central Hall, into which the main entrance leads, presents an effective combination of strength and delicacy, its height and size being made exceptionally pleasing by the graceful carving and other enrich- ments, the decorative glass and rich marble work. Leading out of this hall (which contains loan cases from the Victoria and Albert Museum), on the ground floor are four Museum Rooms, and over these, on the first floor, are corresponding rooms, forming four of the five Picture Galleries, the other gallery being above the arched entrance ; all the galleries communicate by means of handsome doorways. Art gallery catalogue. 7 A balcony, or mezzanine gallery, runs round the Central Hall, and leads to the tea room, print room, and Superinten- dent's room. The steps throughout are of white veined marble. The doors, seats, counters, and all internal woodwork are of polished American walnut, and the handles, &c., are of antique bronze. The ground-floors are of mosaic work, and the floors of the picture galleries of oak parquetry. The entire building is lighted with electric light. In panels on the West wall of the Central Hall are carved the following names: ROMNEY, HOLBEIN, REYNOLDS, MURILLO and RUBENS ; and on the East wall : TURNER, VANDYCK, GAINSBOROUGH, WATTEAU and TITIAN. In the Central Hall is a bronze tablet recording the gift of the building by Lord Winterstoke to his native city. The Art Gallery was officially opened by Prof. Sir Hubert von Herkomer, C.V.O., R.A., on February 15th, 1905. Here their Majesties King Edward and Queen Alexandra were entertained at luncheon by the Lord Mayor, Alderman Sir Edward Burnet James, on the occasion of their visit to open the Royal Edward Dock, July 9th, 1908.

The Permanent Pictures, being the property of the Corporation of Bristol, may not be reproduced in any form without the permission of the Museum and Art Gallery Committee. CATALOGUE. NOTE, — As the frequent rearrangement of the Galleries necessitates a change in the position of some of the Pictures, they may not be found in the order in which they occur in the Catalogue, hut, being numbered, they may readily be found by reference to the consecutive numbers prefixed to the titles. The Catalogue number of each Picture will be found on the left-hand side of the frame [gilt card). The letters w. and h. in the sizes of the Pictures mean wide and high {sight measurement). Works marked with an asterisk (^') are hung in the Bristol Room on the Ground Floor, Permanent Collection. THE NAMES OF THE ARTISTS ARRANGED ALPHABETICALLY. ALLORI (Alessandro). (Florentine School.) B. 1535. D. 1621. Alessandro Allori, called Bronzino II, studied under his uncle, Angelo iVUori, called Bronzino I. 1. NOLI ME TANGERE. Purchased from the Bowles Collection. The Magdalen stretches out her hand to touch Christ, who is represented with a spade in His hand because she had first supposed Him to be the gardener. But He bids her forbear : 20 BRISTOL MUSEUM AND ART GALLERY. Touch Me not " {noli me tangere) " for I am not yet ascended to My Father." On the back of the picture it states, " From the Pucci Gallery, Florence." Some of these pictures were sold at various times ; for instance, in 1857 " The Martyrdom of St. Sebastin," by Pollaiolo was sold and is now in the National Gallery. On Panel, 23 in. w. by 27 in. h. Signed — A. A., 1571. ARMITAGE (E.), R.A. B. 1817. D, 1896. Edward Armitage was born in London in 181 7. He studied mainly in France and Germany, became a pupil at the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris in 1835, and studied under Paul Delaroche, the French historical painter. In 1842 he exhibited at the Paris Salon his first large picture, " Prometheus Bound." He was represented at the Royal Academy for the first time in 1848, by " Henry VIII. and Catherine Parr," and Trafalgar," the latter representing the death of Nelson. These were followed in subsequent years by many other works, of which perhaps the most notable was his "Samson," in 1851. He was elected an Associate of the Royal Academy in 1867, and a Royal Academician in 1872. He died at Tunbridge Wells in 1896, aged 79. 2. SAMSON IN PRISON. Presented by Sir Herbert Ashman, Bart. (Exhibited at the Royal Academy j 1851.) The picture illustrates the passage in the Book of Judges which refers to Samson's captivity and the cruelties he suffered at the hands of his enemies : But the Philistines took him, and put out his eyes, and brought him down to Gaza, and bound him with fetters of brass, and he did grind in the prison-house." — Judges xvi. 21. The scene is dramatically presented to the spectator. Samson, with face upturned, mourns his unhappy fate, as with great strength he pushes forward the pole that turns the corn-mill, in front of which a slave apparently is prepared to urge him with a Vv'hip to greater speed, while a Philistine keeper, on the opposite side of the mill to that occupied by Samson, is seated on the same pole, directing with a pointed staff the movements of the captive. In the background are two young Philistine girls regarding with a kind of compassionate interest Samson at his wretched task ; and curiosity has attracted a group of the inhabi- tants of Gaza to the windows of the prison-house.

D. igii. Sb. TOILERS OF THE FIELD. Winterstoke Bequest. [Exhibited at the Royal Academy, 1876.) A charming and suggestive composition, with a beautiful effect of evening light. Although the artist's name is French, he was born in London, and was a self-taught painter, who achieved considerable success. In his landscapes, detail though not suppressed, is held in subordination to some effect of light or colour which pervades the picture and impresses upon it unity of tone and feeling. This characteristic is well seen in the above picture, for which Mr. Aumonier, in 1876, was awarded the Heywood Gold Medal by the Council of the Royal Manchester Institution. He died in 191 1. The locality is on the banks of the River Test, at Overton, Hampshire. On canvas, 62 in. w. by 28^ in. h. BRISTOL MUSEUM AND ART GALLERY. BARKER (ThOirias). B. 1769. D. 1847. Thomas Barker (called " Barker of Bath ") was born near Pontypool, in Monmouthshire, in 1769. Barker early showed a remarkable genius for drawing figures and designing landscapes, and on the removal of the family to Bath, he found a valuable patron in Mr. Spackman, a wealthy coach-builder of that city. For several years he employed himself in copying the works of the old Dutch and Flemish masters, and at the age of 21 was sent to Rome. This proved of great advantage to him, although he painted very few pictures there. On his return he settled at Bath, and from that time his career was a most successful one. He exhibited eighteen works at the Royal Academy, and many at the British Institution, between 1791 and 1829. He died at Bath on the nth December, 1847. 6. THE BANDITS.

On the right is a bag of gold referring to fortune in money matters, and on her left allusions to Love and Fame in Cupid's bow and darts and a laurel wreath. The bird represents the messenger of good or bad fortune. On Canvas, 18 in. w. by 24 in. h. BORRAS (Vicente). 16. THE CONVERSION AT SEVILLE OF SAINT HERMENEGILDUS.

THE RISING OF THE NILE. Presented by the Right Hon. Lord Wintekstoke, igoG. (Exhibited at the Royal Academy^ 1865.) The picture depicts an Egyptian family escaping to higher ground from the rising river, whicli has already encircled the village on the plain of Gizeh, while friendly hands are conveying the aged to a place of safety. The motiier in the centre is anxious for her baby, and carries it on her shoulder, whilst the little girl has a pet lamb. The annual overllovv of the Nile is absolutely essential to the fertility of the country, but its rising to the height of even a few feet above the periodical average is the occasion of much desolation and ruin.

(Exhibited at the Royal Academy, 1898.) *' A girl aroused from sleep regards three angels. The picture is one of many by the same artist illustrating phases of child-life. Here the limit of childhood is nearly reached, and the painter endeavours to show in pictorial form the moment, which sooner or later occurs to most, when the child awakes to the serious respon- sibilities of life. The girl in the picture is evidently of a well-to-do and pious family ; but her room is simple and even ascetic in character. The three shining ones are present to her mind's eye, and indicate that the awakening, in her case, is to a vision of beauty and holiness." — T. C. G. On Canvas, 72 in. vv. by 53 in. h. Signed. A. C.

The management of the masses of strong colour in the coats of the old men and in the flag draping the front of the stand is extremely skilful.

Although he did not visit Italy, he lost no oppor- tunity of studying the works of the great Italian masters, the style of Raphael greatly attracting him. In 1640 he became a Member of the Guild of Master Painters ; but quitted this, however, on the formation of the French Academy, of which he was one of the twelve original members. So great is the reputation in which Le Sueur is held by his fellow-countrymen, that French critics do not hesitate to compare him with Raphael. He cjied in Paris ip J 6^^, at the early age of 38.

With Mulready he became a pupil of John Varley, and exhibited in the Royal Academy for the first time in 1807. In addition to painting on canvas, he also painted portraits in miniature and engraved in mezzotint. In 1809 the British Institution awarded him a prize of fifty guineas for a landscape called " Removing Timber." He soon devoted himself to portrait painting and to pictures of scenery near London, and though of recent years his name has become to be associated with landscape painting, a half century ago his portraits were well known, some of which he engraved in mezzotint and published. He exhibited constantly at the Royal Academy until 1881, and though never a member, is supposed to have declined the honour of Associateship. He died at Redhill on January 20th, 1882, in his ninetieth year. Six of his pictures are in the National Gallery, and others in various provincial galleries. 128. THE WOOD-CUTTERS.

Edwin Long was born in Bath in 1829. began his career and made his reputation solely as a portrait painter, not until later years producing the large historical compositions by which M BRISTOL MUSEUM AND ART GALLErY. he is better known to-day. He exhibited in the Royal Academy for the first time in 1855, and from that year until his death in 1 89 1 was an almost constant exhibitor, sending in ninety-three works in all. In 1857 he went to Spain to study Murillo and Velasquez, particularly the former, and the pictures he exhibited on his return a few years later bore evident traces of his sojourn in the South. In 1874 visited Egypt and Syria, which enabled him, on his return in 1876, to gain admission into the ranks of the Royal Academy, by reason of the great success which attended the exhibition of his famous picture, " The Babylonian Marriage Market," at Burlington House, in the previous year. This work has since been bought for the sum of £6,61^, and is now in the Royal Holloway College, together with " The SuppUants," purchased for ;^4,305. In 1 88 1 Edwin Long was elected a Royal Academician. In 1 89 1 he finished his last and largest picture, The Parable of the Sower," which was, however, never exhibited in the Royal Academy, as he died on May 1 5 th of that year after a very short illness. His success had been very considerable, and his work appealed very strongly to the religious sensibilities of the day. 129.

It begins on the day of the Epiphany and ends on Ash Wednesday, and its most characteristic recreation is that of masquerades, which take place generally on the three or four days inmiediately preceding Lent.

The picture has a particular fascination on the observer who contemplates it, representing, as it does, the passing away of one of the world's greatest artists. Raphael died on the anniversary of his birthday. Good Friday, 1520, aged 37. He was always of a youthful and even effeminate appearance. The scene depicted is an impressive one, and shows his chamber overlooking the city of Rome. Through the wide-open window he gazes upon his beloved Rome for the last time. The apartment is filled with friends, patrons and pupils, who form a most interesting group. It is Good Friday, the 6th of April, 1 520, a time when primroses, some of which are scattered on the floor, are plentiful. Already the evening light catches the summit of Monte Mario. The friends of Raphael are around his bed — Guilio Romano holds his arm, Peruzzi is on the spectators' left, Giovanni de Udine against the wall, and Mark Antonio stands in the centre. At the foot of the bed are two monks and Cardinal Bibbiena, the uncle of the lady to whom Raphael was engaged. The chalice, candles and monstrance show that the last offices of religion have been administered. Death is at hand, but for a moment the spirit kindles as the dying man's last great work, " The Transfiguration, " is unveiled before him. On Canvas, 78 in. w. by 54 in. h. OPIE (John), R.A. B. I761.

He was almost entirely self-taught in Art and exhibited at the Royal Academy for the first time in 1830. A ])icture which he exhibited in 1843, " Solomon Eagle exhorting the people to repentance," attracted considerable notice, and this and the " Syon Monastery," in 1846, led to his being elected an Associate of the Royal Academy in the latter year. In 1861 he was elected a full Academician, his success being mainly due to the poetry of his conceptions and his fine colouring. He led a very retired life, and died at Hampstead in 1879. He married the widow of F. Danby, A.R.A., and his brother, James Poole, was Mayor of Bristol, 1858-9. ART GALLERY CATALOGUE. 67 185. THE VISITATION AND SURREN- DER OF SYON NUNNERY to the Commissioners appointed by Crom- well in the Reign of Henry VIII, 1539- Purchased out of the Capper Pass Bequest. {Exhibited at the Royal Academy, 1816.) Syon, at Isleworth, on the Thames, was one of the first large monasteries to be suppressed, the convent having been accused of harbouring the King's enemies, and otherwise denying his supremacy. Syon was of the order of St. Bridget. The canvas is crowded with figures ; the sinister-looking commissioners are seated at table, receiving on all sides the riches of the house, and interrogating the sisterhood. Some of these are oppressed with grief, whilst others appear to congratulate themselves on the prospect of release, because all who had taken the veil under twenty-one years of age were declared released from their vows. The Lady Abbess (Sister Agnes Jordan) is seen seated between the Prioress (Sister Margaret Windsor) and the Treasurer (Sister Margaret Dely). The covered statue of Saint Bridget is on the right of the picture ; it is now at Syon Abbey, Chudleigh, Devon. Syon House was founded by Henry V in 141 5. It was called The Monastery of St. Saviour and St. Bridget of Syon." St. Bridget, a princess of Sweden, was born 1304 ; died in Rome, 1373. On Canvas, 98 in. w. by 56 in. h. POPE (Gustav). 188a.

A storm has burst around the rock-bound coast on which the massive castle stands, and a schooner has been forced on to the rocks at the foot of the bold granite cliffs. Heavy, lowering clouds show that the storm has hardly spent its fury as yet, although a bright blue spot in the sky indicates that it is passing away. The sea is breaking over the stranded vessel, on which figures are clinging. Men and women are hurrying down the path to the rugged beach, and in the foreground several men are engaged in saving portions of the wreck, the foremast of the vessel having gone by the board, and been washed on shore. The gloomy-looking towers of the castle stand out in massive grandeur, and a wonderful amount of life and vigour is thrown into the picture. Considered by many the masterpiece of this artist.

Presented by the Representatives of the late John E. Davies. Sophonisba was made captive by the Romans at the taking of Cirta from the Carthaginians 205 B.C. On her knees she supplicated Masinissa, one of her captors, to protect her, and he, fascinated by her youth and beauty, married her, in order the better to be able to fulfil her request. For doing so he was severely repri- manded by Scipio Africanus, who pointed out that she, as well as the country, was in the hands of the Romans, who might dispose of them both as they thought fit. At this reproof Masinissa was so deeply affected that he sent her a cup of poison as the only means of deliverance from the Romans that lay in his power. This she resolutely drank, and expired.

Joseph Mallord William Turner was born on April 23rd, 1775, in Maiden Lane, Covent Garden, where his father carried on business as a hairdresser. The friendship of Girtin, the water-colour painter, and the privilege of copying a collection of drawings in the pos- session of Dr. Monro, of the Adelphi, gave facilities for the development of the young painter's talent at an early age. Turner entered as student of the Royal Academy in 1789, in 1799 he was elected an Associate, and in April, 1802, became a full Academician, at the age of 27. In the same year he made his first tour on the Continent. His Liber Studioriim was begun in 1807, and forms perhaps the most satisfactory monument to his genius. In 1839 he sent the last picture to the Academy, in which his full power was shown, namely, " The fighting Temeraire tugged to her last berth." After a life of almost unrivalled success, and an industry unsur- passed, this great landscape painter died unmarried at Chelsea, on December 19th, 1851. He was buried by the side of Sir Joshua Reynolds in St. Paul's Cathedral. 224. VIEW OF BRISTOL FROM THE SOUTH-EAST. Purchased. Water-Colour, and Engraving of same (1796), 5 J in. w. by 3^ in. h, 225.

" The progress of the inevitable, but not terrible Death, partially, but not completely, overshadows Love." On the threshold of tjie house of Life stands Love, a fair boy, his bright so BRISTOL MUSEUM AND ART GALLERY. wings ruffled, vainly striving to prevent the entrance of Death, who, with resistless though lightly exerted strength, bears him back, whilst the blossoming roses drop withered from the door- post. Love may endeavour to avert but cannot contend with the inevitable. Yet light falls upon the white-draped form of Death, though Love sees only the shadow, and the calm and gentle mien of Death and her bowed head, with uplifted arm in token of sovereignty — Watts thought of Death as a woman, implying that she is nurse and consoler, and perhaps the mother of another life — show her to be, could Love interpret her rightly, the friend of both Love and Life. The painting shows Watts 's great imaginative power, and symbolises one of the world's greatest and most mysterious sorrows. The first sketch of this picture was exhibited at the Dudley Gallery, London, in 1870. The life size picture was at the First Exhibition of the Grosvenor Gallery in 1877. Replicas of this subject by Watts are in the Tate Gallery (1887), the Whitworth Institute, Manchester (1877), and the National Galleries of South Australia and Victoria (Melbourne).

Edward Hodges Baily was born at Bristol in 1787. He was the son of a Bristol ship's carver, and to this fact must be attributed his early bent towards the art of sculpture. He was for a time a pupil of Flaxman, and while a student at the Royal Academy carried off the silver and gold medals for sculpture. In 1821 he became a Royal Academician. Among the various statues Baily executed were those of Sir Robert Peel and Earl Grey, also the statue of Nelson in Trafalgar Square. He exhibited at the Royal Academy from 18 10 to 1862 no less than 187 works. His death took place on Mav 22nd, 1867. ART GALLERY CATALOGUE. 95 S. 2. EURYDICE. (Marble Statue.) Sir JOSEPH E. BOEHM, Bart., R.A. Presented by the Executors of the late John Fuller. Eurydice, in Greek mythology, was the wife of Orpheus. She died from the bite of a serpent, whereupon Orpheus descended into Hades, and by the charms of his lyre persuaded Pluto to restore her to life. He did this on condition she should walk behind her husband, who should not look back until both had arrived in the upper world. Orpheus, overcome by anxiety, looked round, only to behold her caught back into the infernal regions. — Century Cyclo- pcedia of Names. Sir Joseph EMgar Boehm was born at Vienna in 1834, and came to England in 1862. He was nominated Sculptor in Ordinary to the Queen in 1881, elected a Royal Academician in 1882, and created a Baronet in 1889. He died in December, 1890. Sir Joseph E.

He early distinguished himself for his ability in drawing. His father was landlord of the Black Bear Inn, Devizes; and the first efforts of the young painter which attracted notice were portraits in chalk of his father's customers. At the early age of 10 years he was kept employed in portrait painting in crayons at Oxford, but soon after- wards went to Bath, where he met with extraordinary success. In 1787 he went to London, where he received much valuable advice from Sir Joshua Reynolds, and became a student of the Royal Academy. In 1791 he was elected an Associate of the Academy. In 1794 he was made a Royal Academician, was knighted in 18 15, and on the death of Benjamin West in 1820 he was unanimously sleeted to succeed him as President of the Royal Academy. In 1829 he received the freedom of his native city, Bristol. From the time of his election as a Member of the Academy to his death Sir Thomas Lawrence's career as a portrait painter was unrivalled ; he contributed, from 1787 to 1830 inclusive, 311 pictures to the exhibitions of the Royal Academy. He died suddenly on the 7th of January, 1830, at his house in Russell Square, London. He was interred in St. Paul's Cathedral, where he rests by the side of his predecessor, Sir Joshua Reynolds.
