Will. Redmore Bigg, Great Russel-street, Bedford-square, A

Mr. Bigg possesses superior talents, and having a very correct eye, has, in many of his delineations, rendered the faces of his figures an index to their minds, and made his little simple stories in an eminent degree interesting and impressive.

Sir Francis Bourgeois, R. A. landscape painter to his Majesty, Portland-road.

This gentleman was the pupil of Mr. de Loutherbourg, and he has, in most of his pictures, adopted a manner somewhat similar. His figures are drawn with spirit, and his landscapes brilliantly coloured.

A. W. Calcott, Kensington Gravel Pits.

The course of a very few years has brought Mr. Callcott forwards as one of our first-rate landscape painters. The clearness of his hues, and the finished execution of his works, not inferior to the Flemish school, place them deservedly high in the public esteem.

W. Capan, No. 4, North-street, Westminster.

Mr. Capon is a scene painter, and many of those magical illusions which have been displayed in Drury-lane theatre, and which almost deceive the eye into the belief that they are realities rather than pictures, are his productions. Some very tine allegorical pictures, exhi bited at Ranelagh in June 1892, in honor of the peace, are from the same pencil,

R. Clevely, marine painter to his royal highness the prince Wales, No. 56, Devonshire-street, Portland-place.

Mr. Clevely's pictures, as we have been told by those who are competent judges, are extremely accurate in their naval architecture, and in the sky, water, and disposition of the objects, they are peculiarly picturesque.

Corbould, John-street, Fitzroy-square,

This artist's landscapes are remarkable for pleasing composition an harmonious tone of strong colouring.

Tho. Daniel, R, A, No. 39, Howland-street, Fitzroy-square.

This gentleman has principally distinguished himself by designs made from temples, palaces, and other public buildings in India, into which country he travelled farther than any preceding European artist. He has taken all his designs from an actual survey, and having an accurate and correct eye, and an eminently forcible pencil, he has delineated them in such a manner as to give a very faithful idea of the country. Indeed, fidelity is as much the characteristic of his works as integrity and veracity are of the man, Mr. Daniel and his nephew have engraved many of the drawings in a very superior style, and published them ią numbers, with descriptions, and in proper colours."

-William Daniel, Cleaveland-street.

This artist is an able pupil of the former, and has also travelled in udia, whence he has brought home many interesting views.

Edward Edwards, A. Windmill-street.

An accurate draughtsman and painter, eminent for his skill in per spective, of which he is teacher at the royal academy.

Joseph Farrington, R A. Upper Charlotte-street, Fitzroy-square.

His views are sometimes the scenery of domestic, and sometimes of bolder landscape; and not unfrequently public edifices in the centre of populous citics, or, the wharfs and quays on the banks of navigable rivers, covered with boats, and full of bustle and business. In such scenes as these he is peculiarly happy, and his pictures are invariably faithful representations of the objects he delineates.

R. Freebairn, No. 41, Newman-street.

A very superior landscape-painter in a delicate, finished manner.

G. Garrard, No. 40, Portman-place, Paddington.

The very superior style in which this gentleman paints the subjects on which he employs his pencil, is entitled to the highest praise. His studies have been generally directed to the painting of horses and other animals, and in their delineation he discriminates the different classes of the same species, with the fidelity of a naturalist, and the force and freedom of a master. The dray horse, the hunter, and the race.borse, are as distinct from each other upon his canvas, as they are in nature, and the scenery of his back-grounds is usually as appropriate to his animals. In the heads of horses there is a great variety of character; but this is not obtrusive-to the common eye it is hardly obvious, and none of the animal painters of this country, except Mr. S. Gilpin and Mr Garrard, seem to have given it the attention it deserves.

That Mr. Garrard, possessing such powers, should quit the walk in which he has so eminently distinguished himself, and go into a contiguous path, we should greatly regret, had he not displayed equal abilities in his new profession. He has lately been principally employed in modelling; and, his busts of some remarkable characters, his sheep, hogs, deer, and other animals, display a correctness of eye, and great anatomical knowledge.

Sawrey Gilpin, R. A. Knightsbridge.

In this gentleman's delineations there is (added to great anatomical Correctness) a taste and truth which renders them highly picturesque and interesting. He is a painter of sentiment, Every animal that comes from his pencil appears to think. In a picture of Swift's Houynhyms, which he painted many years ago, there is a spirit and variety of character, which would have extorted approbation from the splenetic inventor of their history.

Robert Hills, Newman-street,

Paints cattle and sheep with spirit, and copies nature inimitably

J. P. De Loutherbourg, R. A. Terrace, Hammersmith.

The spirit and energy of Mr. Loutherbourg's pictures, and the splendour of his colours, is captivating, but his landscapes sometimes ap proach towards the French flutter, and his animals are occasionally hard and appear burnished, but his towering superiority in some branches of his art, dazzles the eye of a spectator, and atones for his defects in others.

N. Pocock, Great George-street, Westminster,

The most distinguished of our painters of sea views.

R. Reinagle, No. 52, Upper Norton-street, Portland-place. Mr. Reinagle's pictures are in the manner of different Flemish painters, and are exhibited at auctions with the high sounding names of Rudsdale, Wynants, Pynaker, &c.; and under the colours of these masters have fetched treble the prices which the purchasers would have given for them, had they been fairly produced as the work of an English artist.

John Richards, R. A. Somerset-house.

Mr. Richards has long claimed a distinguished place as a scene painter of the Covent-garden theatre. His works are distinguished by correctness and classic taste.

Paul Sandby, R. A. St. George's-row.

Instead of resorting to the tableaus of Ruysdale, Vangoyen, and Waterloo, for ideas of beautiful scenery and picturesque rature, Mr. Sandy considered the prospects that are presented in our own provinces; and has, by his long practice, a correct eye, and pure classical taste, formed a style that is perfectly English, and perfectly original.

John Thomas Smith, Newman-street, Oxford-street...

In the prints comprising the History of the Antiquities of London, Mr. Smith marked himself for industrious enquiry, good choice of subjects, and a curate representations of what he professed to delineate. He has for some time been employed in a work for which he was peculiarly qualified, and for which he has a large number of most respectable subscribers. It will be recollected, that when the alterations were made in the House of Commons, in Sept. 1800, a number of paintings, which were many ages concealed from the public eye, were discovered on the walls. In making the repairs, these very curious specimens of the picturesque taste and talent of our ancestors were necessarily destroyed; but, previously to this, Mr. Smith (and he only) had permission to attend and copy them. To this he was very attentive, and has made most accurate copies of all these valuable remains. About 17 finished engravings, in the manner of the originals, will be shortly published, in one volume, quarto. This work will contain an account and explanation of the paintings, and other ornaments and decorations, including also a variety of original particulars.

The drawings from the original pictures, which are in view at Mr. Smith's house in Newman-street, have so intimate a connection with

the early state of the arts of painting, sculpture, and architecture, in this country, that they must occasionally be extremely curious and interesting to all those whose enquiries are directed to such subjects.

George Stubbs, A. Somerset-street, l'ortman-square.

Among the gentlemen of the turf, Mr. Stubbs bears a very high character, and is said to give peculiarly correct portraits of horses or hounds. His delineation of their forms is bold and scientific.

J. M. W. Turner, R. A. Norton-street, Portland-road. Mr. Turner is a painter of the first order, and his pictures are marked with a spirit, and distinguished by a manner, that is peculiar to himself. The subjects that he sometimes selects are singular. A romantic prospect from Ossian-A plague of Egypt-The destruction of an army by a whirlwind or an angel, or any terrific tale from the Heathen Mythelogy, or Christian History, are objects in which he delights, and from them he makes most forcible delineations.

SCULPTORS.

John Bacon, Newman-street.

Mr. Bacon is a young sculptor of much promise. His figures have a pleasing air, and graceful disposition of limbs and drapery. He is an able successor of his excellent father.

Edmund Burch, R. A.

Has long been one of the first seal and gem engravers.

John Flaxman, R. A.

Mr. Flaxman is a sculptor, and has, in a few years, attained a high reputation. He formed his taste upon the models that he saw in Italy, where he resided some years, and sedulously studied some of the purest and best specimens of ancient art, and from many of them made casts. His productions are chaste and correct, but perhaps rather too simple for the taste of the people of this country, who are, generally speaking, enthusiastic admirers of the spirited, though rather French style, of Roubilliac.

Nathaniel Merchant, A. chief engraver to his majesty's seals, and sculptor of gems to his royal highness the prince of Wales, Stamp-office, Somerset-house.

This gentlemen resided several years at Rome, and sedulously studied the best models of the antique, and upon them has formed a style that is classical and correct. He is one of the most eminent gem-engravers now living.

Joseph Nollekens, R. A. Mortimer-street.

Mr. Nollekens is a very eminent and meritorious sculptor. He was, in the early part of his life, at Rome, and studied the antique, in a manner that evinced he had a wish to attain the spirit of the great originals of that branch of the arts, and some of his productions have proved that he studied with effect.

E E

Charles Rossi, R. A. sculptor to his royal highness the prince of Wales, Mary-le-bonne Park.

This gentleman is a very masterly sculptor, and has lately made one of the monuments for St. Paul's, which it is at length very properly determined to decorate with productions to the honor of our heroes, our statesmen, and our philosophers.

Richard Westmacott, Great Mount-street, Grosvenor-square.

A scholar of the celebrated Venetian sculptor Canova, to whose instructions he does honour.

The houses of all our first artists are well worth the attention of strangers, and the general compliment for seeing them is a shilling to the attendants.

PUBLIC LECTURES ON MEDICINE, SUR. GERY, AND THE SCIENCES.

As it may be interesting to many persons to be informed concerning the philosophical and medical lectures given in different parts of the metropolis, they are here presented with a short detail on this subject.

The Royal Institution, in Albemarle street, was founded in the year 1799, for the purpose of enrouraging experimental philosophy and chemistry; and the arts dependent upon them.-Mr. Davy, who is professor of chemistry in the institution, delivers a course on that science, and various other gentlemen on the different branches of philosophy.

Gresham college is an endowment for professors of seven liberal sciences, viz. divinity, law, physic, astronomy, geometry, music, and rhetoric. The lectures are given gratis, twice a day, in a room over the east end of the Royal Exchange during the terms, and are at present ill attended. It is expected that these lectures will be removed to the London Institution.

By much the greater number of lectures in London are on the branches of medicine and medical philo, sophy. We can do little more than mention their names, and the subjects of their lectures, beginning with those of
