The shadows of the sky lie darkly on the foreground, which is a broken country diversified with timber, many of the trees being in brilliant color after the Fall. frosts. ‘The redeeming trait of a wild and savage scene is suggested by the artist in the thread of water, emerging from its stony cradle spot, to enter on its long and beneficent Journey toward the haunts of men.

A green field, broken in the foreground by a few gray stones and some yellowish growths, is interrupted in the middle distance and toward the left by a few green trees, the taller one toward the center of the picture overhanging a humble house which is only partly seen. Over all broods the stillness, the pensiveness, of a gray day in the country.

A wide river flows from the left diagonally across the picture, and in the middle distance makes a turn, where it is crossed by a stone bridge with three arches. In the right foreground, a grassy bank, crowned by a clump of small trees, slopes down to the water’s edge, where two boats are moored to the shore.

Crossing the picture is indicated rather than seen the line of the river chasm, seaming the green expanse, its water, far below, visible in dashes here and yonder. In broad clearings near-by, white farmhouses gleam amid small green groves or orchards. Far away, vil- lages are seen, and the smoke of home fires and of industry rises in picturesque columns into the still atmosphere. ‘The sun in a light sky is obscured by heavy, grayish-yellow clouds that fill a large part of the visible heavens.

The plain stretches before us, gloomy in late afternoon shade and the shadows of many heavy black clouds, through which one can discern a woman in a white cap standing beside a seated man, and pools of water in the hollows, showing faintly brown. The awe and desolation are enforced by the scanty contrast of a few meager trees that break the level of the horizon, which is slashed with a long scar of flaring white. The sky above is mottled with blackish-drab clouds scudding across the gray vault. The ground shadows, notwithstanding their depth, are extraordinarily penetrable, and the sky is marvel- ously modeled with substantiality of cloud, endless distance, and the mysterious pervasiveness of fading light. The picture represents the master in one of his grandest moods, profoundly observant, terribly sincere, rendering a phase of nature that is austere and inaccessible. Signed at the lower left, Tu.

The sun has scarcely risen and the mists of night still brood over the low-lying meadows, lending a pearly quality to the atmosphere and blending distant objects into a vague mass of form and color. Upon the right the river bank slopes sharply upward, and the summit is occupied by a low, rambling farmhouse, with outbuildings, shaded by sev- eral trees. The plaster walls and a red roof make an agree- able contrast with the green of the foliage, and a brilliant note is added to the composition as an errant sunray strikes one corner of the building, making it flash into pure white. By the water’s edge a number of women are washing clothes; an- other figure is seen in one of the boats which are moored close by, and a woman is carrying a jar of water to the house.

Their figures are on the right of the composition, between a large tree with ivy on its trunk and a group of saplings, the foliage meeting above the figures in a feathery arch. Already the clear air of the upper world be- gins to enfold them; they have passed the Styx, which glides across the scene, on whose farther bank a chill and misty atmo- sphere renders indistinct a grove and the Shades which haunt it. One can distinguish a figure drooping upon the shoulders of another, three moving languidly side by side, and others lying on the ground, or standing in the underbrush still deeper in the penumbra.

At the left a group of young trees add their color to the picture, one a faded yellow-brown, one gorgeous in a mantle of solid red. Signed at the lower right, G. Inness, 1894. Purchased from Mr. Inness by the congregation of the Central Church, Chicago, for presentation to their pastor, the Reverend Doctor Newell Dwight Hillis, on resigning his charge to become pastor of the Plymouth Church, Brooklyn, New York. Ree ee No. 174 LOBERT C. MINOR, N.A. American 1840—1904 END OF SUMMER Height, 30 inches; length, 40 inches Ir is a still, Summer day in a goodly country, far from homes of men or occupation of the fields. The landscape is wild, peaceful and inviting. One looks up a shaded depression— hardly a ravine—carpeted with green grass, to a pond in the middle distance, and on to vague and sunny hillsides and a sky of fleecy clouds. At the left a gray, dead tree projects its helpless arms skyward at the head of a line of living trees, and at the right a higher bit of ground is shaded by the tall . and flourishing trees of an open grove. ‘The whole landscape is green, but the brown touches amongst the herbage and in the interiors of the trees convey their message of the passing of the season.

Between scattered trees on the slope and in the brook lot the eye picks up a group of farm buildings in the distance. The brook in the foreground passes around the base of a silver birch, whose foliage has turned to a red-brown above, and the reds and browns and yellows of the leaves of the many trees are melted in the distance by the sunshine into a golden glow. | Signed at the lower right, Juxrtan Rrx, 798. Purchased from S. P. Avery, Jr., New York. No. 176 SPENCER FULLER AMERICAN WINTER, DEERFIELD, MASSACHUSETTS Height, 26 inches; length, 44 inches A WINDING and deserted road through sparse woods makes a sinuous trail through the center of the composition, leading from the foreground to low and far distant hills. The snow, which has sifted among the trees and underbrush of the forest, covers the road lightly and has been marked by a straggling wagon track. ‘lhe woods are brown where they are not bare, except where here and there an evergreen stands. The sky is a whitish-blue, and cold, and there is a suggestion of snow in the air. Signed at the lower right, S. F. From Macbeth Gallery Exhibition, New York, 1911. No. 177 CHAUNCEY FOSTER RYDER AMERICAN 1868— THE MAKER OF MAGIC Height, 42 inches; width, 32 mches THE tall, slender trunks of a forest of close-growing pine trees form with the misty percolations of light between them the background of a theater of magic. In front of them, in an open space carpeted with the brown pine needles and where a few scattered trees reveal one or two of their lower green branches only, a lone Indian has seated himself in the center of a circle of stones. Various implements are before him and he faces with incantations a blue jar, from which steam is curl- ing high, that he has placed on a square blanket outside his charmed circle.

AMERICAN Contemporary MISTY MOONLIGHT NIGHT Height, 36 inches; length, 42 inches THE moon, with a large and luminous ring around it, looks down from a mottled sky over a broad valley. A dense bank of the vapor which has settled into the central, deeper de- pressions of the valley, below the eye, shines with a pale sheen in the lunar radiance. On the farther side, rounded hill-tops rise against the sky, and the lower plateau on the nearer side is dotted with trees which make dark shadows in the relatively strong light. The distance is dimly luminous In a gray, even- ing mist. A view from West Cornwell, Conn., over the valley of the Hollenbeck river. Signed at the lower left, Ben Fosrer.

AMERICAN 1825—1894 MOONRISE, MONTCLAIR, 1892 Height, 30 inches; length, 45 inches THE full moon is already well above the horizon, seen in a strong blue sky overcast elsewhere with brownish-purple clouds. Its effulgence over a broad plain below gives to the plain an appearance, in the mellow golden light, not unlike a harvest field irregularly reaped. At the left the tall gable of a house is visible amid trees, and through the windows comes the warm red glow of lamplight. Signed at the lower right, G. Inness. Purchased from Silas S. Dustin, who obtained the painting from the Inness family. No. 180 FREDERICK BALLARD WILLIAMS,A.N.A. AmeERiIcAn 1872— THE SENTINEL, PAULET, VERMONT Height, 30 inches; length, 45 inches Tue rough, unhandsome, but imposing peak rises solitary and alone above wide-spreading wastes of gray and purple rock, which overtop masses of deep green trees of the-middle dis- tance. The foreground is a picturesque, uneven field of wild and varied greens, with occasional sparse trees springing from its stony soil.

AMERICAN 1837— DREAM OF THE ORIENT Height, 33 inches; length, 50 inches A croup of splendid boats and barges with a eastellated city rising from the sea behind them. On the left other high palace walls, with towers, and on the right a donjon in the distance, and near it ships and gondolas. The water reflects on its mirror-like surface all the beautiful colors of the sails and buildings, and the whole composition is wrapped in a mist which scarcely dims the splendor of its wondrous color but rather diffuses it magically. This picture is highly imagina- tive in conception, and very decorative in color—“a Turner from an American brush,” as it has, not without justice, been called. 3 Signed at the lower left, T. Moran. Exhibited at the Centennial Exhibition, Philadelphia, 1876. From the William T. Evans Collection, New York, 1900. No. 182 GEORGE INNESS, N.A. AmeERICAN 1825—1894 AFTERNOON Height, 38 inches; length, 50 inches An Autumn afternoon in a rolling country with many irregu- lar peaked hills, and freely wooded. The light of the after- noon sun falls from the right in full brilliance upon a large oak tree and a broad country road on which a young woman riding horseback is seen in front of a red barn, while an old woman in a red jacket is driving a red cow and a brown one and some sheep across the foreground toward it. In the mid- dle distance a stream spreads out along a line of trees which border it, separating it from the road, and all around in dis- tant hillside fields sheep and cattle are grazing in the sun, and abundant trees, detached, vary the grassy slopes with their ample shade.

American 1836—1892 HARLY MORNING Height, 37 inches; length, 50 inches THis composition represents a phase of nature difficult to realize, for the effect is most ephemeral, and its fleeting qualities are only caught by a profound student. A clear- ing in a woodland carries the spectator’s eye over a long stretch of distance, dotted here and there by tree forms muistily made out in the nebulous light of approaching day. A large tree at the right center rises in sturdy dignity, and branches out at the top of the composition. All is kept quiet and subdued, in tones of rich color, and the sky is indicated with a knowledge born of much observation. A red sun struggles out of the clouds. There is a feeling of solemnity, of the hush preceding the activity of full daylight. Signed at the lower right, A. H. Wyant. From the Thomas B. Clarke Collection, New York, 1899. No. 184 CARLETON WIGGINS, N.A. AMERICAN 1848— AFTER WIND, RAIN Height, 40 inches; length, 50 inches A. FLOCK of sheep, with the shepherd ahead of them and the dog bringing up the rear, is seen going along a road which leads from the foreground through a valley of the middle dis- tance, where clumps of trees form central shadows in the land- scape. Beyond, a plain is bathed in sunlight. The sky shows great storm-clouds coming across the picture from the right and patches of blue in some portions. 'The effect depicted is one where the wind before the storm has massed the gray clouds in the sky; and the rain, following after, is beginning to pour in the distance.

AMERICAN 1866— THE GOLDEN CLOUDS Height, 891% mches; length, 5014 inches Rep sandbanks gleam far across an arm of the sea and a broad foreground of brown, sandy shore, picked out here and there with bunches of sedge or other hardy green vegetation. Golden and mauve-touched clouds hang low in a brilliantly chromatic sky, which, above an auroral burst of flame flashes at the hori- zon, passes from a vivid emerald-green to cobalt- or sapphire- blue.

American 18387— VIEW OF WINDSOR CASTLE Height, 40 inches; length, 72 inches THE castle, with its prominent features of Cesar’s tower and St. George’s chapel, rises in the distance against the sky. It has been viewed from a point near that which Turner selected, in the meadows adjoining a little tributary that flows into the Thames. In the foreground is a stretch of grass bordering upon the stream, which runs diagonally across the picture. Some children are playing on the bank and a man approaches with a dog.

No. 187 WILLIAM KEITH AMERICAN 1839—1911 LANDSCAPE Height, 48 inches; length, 70 inches A BROAD sweep of seacoast is pictured under a clear, pale-blue Summer sky, with tenuous white clouds aloft and bands of gray ones toward the horizon. From the left the sea, blue and smooth, comes in, indenting the land in a series of broad cres- cents, and breaking gently in white wavelets on the beach, at the foot of tall sand cliffs. The spectator is high above, look- ing down to the shore over a grassy foreground and over the tops of a line of trees growing on a declivity of the middle ground. At the right and in the distance the misty outlines of a range of mountains bound the spacious view. Signed at the lower left, W. Ketrn, S. F. (San Francisco).
