~ AT URE  is everywhere beautiful.
" ~]  If we look upwarcl,  we wo der at          I1
~: the inimitable azure of the distant
c   sky-the ever-varying clouds, bring-      1
ing us rain, hail, and snow, with lights 
and shades far too delicate and beautiful'
even fol- the limner's brush.  So, alsco-, fi 
thle discerning mind takes in and appreciates tlle
celestial loveliness of night-the setting sun,      lj
whose light is borrowed by the rising  moon; the
glories of the firmament, studded with twinkling    i 
stars and beaming planets.  If we look over thle
earth, we find everywhere distributed an endless
variety of hills'and valleys, rivels and seas, rocks;i
and mountains, shrubs and trees, flowers and       ilii
fruits: and yet how few in all this busy world      lit
of care and trouble appreciate, asthetically, the
varied beauties which surround us. To the great     i
majority of mankind, nature is a sealed book;        i
and all those faculties of the mind which Gol d     ll
has given us, to understand, as well as to love
and enjoy, his works, are suffered to perisll       j!i
thlrough lack of that care and cultivation, which
should make them  contribute in the highest
degree to our enjoyment and happiness.             il

Hiliil  How often do we observe the unhappy state',!l
ii1   of those who retire from business with no other
i  resources for enjoyment than their money-bags. 
Ul;l    Far better for them had they devoted both time!ii    and money to the cultivation of higher faculties,
g  and the development of those natural instincts    i
which would have led them  to fountains of
Will | refined pleasures, and the true sources of enjoy-     li

A proper cultivation of the taste, by means of
illli a general knowledge of the fine arts, elevates the  I 
mind, gives it a vigorous independence, exhilarates the spirits, and has a kindly influence upon
illlthe physical as well as the mental organization.  
He has not made the best use of this world,           t
xilii!  who, after a life of toil and gain, finds himself'1ill
i  only a day and night watchman over heaps of           il1
gold, which his last breath will scatter like the
leaves of autumn.                  l         i 
li  The power to truly appreciate and enjoy all iiil
that is grand or beautiful in the world of nature,     il
serves greatly to enlarge the Inind, to soften and
|l  llinterest the heart, and to repel those seductive       Ili
iilj amusements which feed the grosser passions, and; 
fill the mind with noxious weeds.  This power''imii   can be acquired by a familiar acquaintance with     l!l    the world of art; and if the study of the numer- 111
iii ons examples noticed in this catalogue shall have    i
Ii    imparted that power, or have elevated the standail rd of taste in any who view  them, the chief 
purposes of the exhibition will have been fiully         i

This remarkable picture is regarded as the
chef dl'owuvre of this most excellent master.  His     i
style is quite in opposition to that of Verboekhoven, who paints, with a fine, delicate brush,
the minutest detail.  Tschaggeny, on the contrary, aims at breadth and freedom.  He paints,i
olbjects as he sees them-artistically, rather thaln ii
literally-and with wonderful- power and effect.
The repose, dignity and sentiment, which his
works possess, are evidence of a refined taste  Hl:i
and correct judgment.  His works are rapidly           llil
li, ~ increasing in value, and eagerly sought for by   i:o,

Otho Venius was the master of Rubens; and
this picture shows how  carefully the pupil kept
to the coloring taught by the master.!Il
The subject is very interesting.  The ParcT, 
or Fates, are represented in the act of spinning
the destinies of men.  According to the sublime
fiction of the ancient Greeks, the Fates were the
offspring of Jupiter and Themis.  Clotho holds
the  distaff, and  presides over the  Present;
Lachesis spins each one's portion of the thread
of existence, and presides  over the Future;
Atropos cuts off the thread, and presides over
the Past.  Or, according to other authorities,
Clotho presides over Nativity, Atropos over
Death  and Lachesis over each one's lot in life.
The artist has, however, rendered the subject
still more interesting, by the introduction of
-ReliDgon, as having a greater influence over the
destinies of men than all the gods and goddesses
of Grecian mythology.   Sin, the mother of
Death, having the body of a serpent and a
Nil
innean skull, bears in one handp the apple of          f
disobedience, while, with the other, she holds         1

Of this great master, Waagen says: "Notwithstanding the incalculable minuteness of execution, the touch of his brush is free and soft,
and his impasto admirable.  By the combination
jn."    of these qualities, his pictures look like nature
herself, seen through a camera.  His works were
so highly esteemed in his own time, that the  ii;iil;    President Van Spiring, at the Hague, offered
i:ii    him  1000 florins a year for the pre-emption
right of his pictures."
