" The god appears standing, with a characteristic inclination of the head, musingly regard- ing the affairs of mortals. A palm-stem, which serves the figure for support, seems to indicate that he is conceived as the director of the Palsestra. There is no other symbolic sign where- by he may be known, as both arms are broken off, and the attributes lost' with them. No drapery veils the symmetrical and wonderfully harmonious development of the organization. The light chlamys, used frequently as a shield for the left arm, as well as a covering for the body, is thrown over the shoulder, with one end wound around the fore-arm. The sublime serene rest which the whole figure presents, indicates the spiritual superiority with which the god administers his oflice. Here appears no sign of passionate emotion in the soul, although every feature indicates the highest tension of the whole spirit-life. This is with all his power repressed, which gives an appearance of rigidity. The beautiful image is inscrutable, aa the inner oracle of a truly great and matchless man. The realm of art scarcely possesses a' monu- ment of like excellence and completeness."—' Kunst-Mythologie,' by Dr. Emil. Draun. '• Among the statues of Mercury, the Hermes of the Belvidere has by far the first place — the same that went, strange to say, under the name of ' the AntinoUs of the Vatican.' It is an fver-young prototype of the body ennobled through athletic exercise, as the broad, glorious breast, the strong yet delicate limbs, the light, quiet pose, plainly indicate. But over the whole ligure rules a truly godlike spirit, which perfectly subordinates every special attribute. It has, I might say, a more lofty, eternal presence than all mortal athletes, in whom the effect of a completed or the preparation for a coming exertion, is conspicuous. And what a wonderful head I It is not only the amiable, gracious Hermes, but truly he ' dear to supernal and infernal gods,' the Mediator between two worlds. Therefore a shade of sadness rests upon this youth- ful countenance as becomes the undying Marshal of the Dead, who sees the going down of so much life. The sweet, youthful melancholy, which is so equivocally mix d in the AntinoUs, is here expressed with perfect purity."— ^wrcA-ftardt. STATUARY. ISTos. Subjects.

The originals of Ihase casts (which form a part of the monument erected in honor of Julian di Medici, in the church of St. Lorenzo at Florence,) are universally considered among the most sublime and poetical conceptions of Michael Angelo. For minute criticisms of thia triumph of modern art, we would refer the reader to the description, by Vasari, and the opinion of other distinguished writers on the Arts. The casts were presented to the late Col. T. H Perkins, by our townsman, Horatio Greenough, when residing in Florence, and have recently been presented to the Athenaeum by the executors of the former. Extract from "Historical Sketches of the Old Painters." " Michael Angelo deeply deplored the unhappy state of Florence. The lines written by him, under the figure of Night, are expressive of the state of his feelings. Though the softer elements of his character had not been fostered by maternal kindness, there was not wanting a deep spring of sensibility, which circumstances sometimes caused to overflow. Under thj celebrated statue of Night, which had been intended for the tomb of Julian di Medici, Baptist Strozzi wrote the following lines : — " Night whom thou seest so calmly sleeping. Was by an Angel formed. Though by this marble held in keeping, • By life the figure's warmed. Yet, should thy mind of doubt partake, Thou need'st but speak, and she '11 awake. "Michael Angelo shortly after observed the writing, and with an emotion which fully evinced his sensibility, wrote this reply in the person of Night. " Grateful to me is this repose ; More grateful still to be of stone, While o'er my country evil flows, To see nor feel is peace alone. Then let me sleep o'er ills forgot ; Speak low I I pray thee, wake me not.^^ " Day's eyes are breaking bold and passionate Over his shoulder, and will flash abhorrence On darkness, and with level looks meet fate. When once loose from that marble film of theirs : The Night has wild dreams in her sleep." Casa Guidi Jftndotos."— Mks. Browning . 20 Cast from the Bas-relief of Antiopa. Athenaium. 21 The Shipwrecked Mother and Child, by E. A. Brackett. 22 Cast of the Bust of the Colossus of the Quirinal. Athensum. 23 Cast from the Statue of the Venus of Milo. Athen^um. " The statue of Aphrodite, which was iound at the beginning of this century on the Island of Melos, presents to us an ideal of this goddess of such august features, that the skilful, by close examination and reflection, arc brought to the conclusion that this type must have been the birth of a time in which the conception of Venus in the plastic imagination of the Greeks, was not yet fully wrought out, and, indeed, only prefigured. One can easily conceive that the age, which had brought to ripeness in a surprisingly short time the artistic ideal of Zeus, of Athene, of Here, and of Poseidon, c juld not be exactly in a position to incarnate a presentment of the Deities wholly opposite to these in idea. Evej-y thing must bide its time. Mythological ideas, more than all others, need time for their development. The Aphrodite of Melos is a pe- culiar iUustration of this fact. Indeed, the thought forces itself upon us, that we must place S T A. T U A K r. >ros. Subjects!. O wners . this ,n a chfTorent category from all other known statuos of Aphrodite, an.l consider it as a I.rophocy only of the irteal of Praxiteles. We are constrained to this conclusion if we be^rin after the manner of modern criticism, with an abstract consideration of the features But tlungs assume another appearance if we retire a little and contemplate the work as a whole Then the forms of the body so tnily impressive and full, and, at the same time, so tender and allurnig, and the attitude and keeping of the whole Kgure permit us to think only on Aphrodite fh.s ,,rocee,is not only from the disposal of the drapery, from the pose and the motion, but roin every single sweep of the noble outline.

" The Borghesc Silenus is, beyond question, the noblest of all the images of the instructor of Bacchus which have come down to us. ]t is one of those glorious, purely-human representations which perfectly content the eye, the understanding, and the feelings. The invention, arrange- ment, purity of the outlines, and consummate elegance of the forms, equally demand praise and e.\.cite astonishment. From the workmanship generally, and from the hair in particular, we may infer that this work belongs to the most flourishing period of art. It may also be reckoned among those which h.ave been admirably well preserved. It was found among the ruins of the garden of t'allust." In regard to the statue, Visconti remarks : — * * * " Images which represent the primitive Silenus are rare. Although the poets and writers of satires travesty him as old, very fat, and pot-bellied, resembling a wine-skin, deformed, as Lucian caricatures him, and as he is often rei)resented on bas-reliefs, in the Bacchic scenes, upon Sarcophagi, so common in museums, still the original character of Silenus is nmch more noble, since he is understood to have bred and educated Bacchus or Dionysus, in whom is per. , sonified the uncivilized state of the world, and its passage from a rude to a more cultivateKl condition. * * * In the more ancient Thcogony, Silenus was regarded as the depository of STATUARY. nSTos. Subjects. Owners. science, which, in Iiis capacity of Instructor, he communicated to Bacchus, who made use of it to civilize mankind, still in a rude and savage state. "This (igiirp, which falsities all the erroneous notions entertained of Silenus, shows him in his original character as the Ibstcr-father and instructor of Bacchus. Now this latter, taken in a moral sense, is nothing more than a symbol of the refinement of the world from a state of barbarism, and the former is a symbol of the knowledge which had nurtuVed, guided, and as- sisted him. Like his foster-child, he is naked; his aspect is noble and affectionate, as suitable to the educator of a god, whom ho holds in his arms and presses to his bosom. The child is caressing him in turn, and gracefully extends iiis hands to the other's cheeks. His head i.- ical feature discernable is that of full and turgid veins, yet not ostentatiously obtruded, but seen slightly along the front of the arms and ankles, giving, like the clotted hair, proof of vioent exertion. The singular art of the sculptor is particularly to be discerned in the extended leg; by a less skilful hand the posture might have appeared constrained ; but here, true tp nature the limbs are seen gently yielding, bending from languor, the knee sinking from weakness, and the thigh and ankle-joint pushed out to support it. The forms of the dying Gladiator are not ideal or exquisite, like the Apollo; it is all nature, all feeling 1 It was found at Porto d'Anz.a. by Cardinal Albani, about 1770, and was for some time in the gallery at the Villa Ludovisi, fron. which it was purchased by Clement X\l."— Murray. " I see before me the Gladiator lie: He leans upon his hand — his manly brow Consents to death, but conquers agony, ' And his drooped head sinks gradually low — And through his side the last drops, ebbing slow From the red gash, fall heavy, one by one. Like the first of a thunder-shower ; and now The arena swims around him — he is gone. Ere closed the inhuman shout which hailed the wretdi who Won. He heard it, but he heeded not — his eyes Were with his heart, and that was far away ; He recked not of the life he lost, nor prize. But where his rude hut by the Danube lay. There were his young barbarians all at play. There was their Uacian mother — he, their sire, Butchered to make a Roman holiday. All this rushed with his blood — shall he expire. And unavenged ?

" A letter of Stuart's, which appeared in the New- York Evening Post, in 1833, attested by three gentlemen of Boston, with one from Washinjjton, making the appointment for a sitting, proves the error long current in regard both to the dates and the number of this artist's original portraits of Washington, lie there distinctly states that he never executed but three from life, the first of which was so unsatisfactory that he destroyed it; the second was the picture for Lord Lansdowne; and the third, the one now belonging to the Boston Athenaeum. The tinieh- ing touches were put to the one in September, 1795, to the other, at rhiladelphia, in the Spring of 1796. This last, it appears by a letter of Mr. Custis, which we have examined, was undertaJteii against tlie desire of Washington, and at the earnest soliciUtion of his wife, who wished a por- trait from life of her illustrious husband, to be placed among the other family-pictures, at Mount Vernon. For this express purpose, and to gratify her, the artist commenced the work, and Washington agreed to sit once more. It was left, intentionally, unfinished, and when aubae- quently claimed by Mr. Custis, who offered a premium upon the original price, Stuart excoseU himself, mucli to the former's dissatisfaction, on the plea that it was a requisite legacy for hi* children."— Puinam's Magazine, 1855. 50 Head of a Jew.

" It is known that Mr. Allston began the picture in London, before his return to his native country, and had very nearly finished it here, fifteen or twenty years ago. Being obliged to quit the room in which he worked upon it, and unable immediately to find another large enough for the purpose, the picture was rolled up and laid aside. Various circumstances prevented his re- suming the work until within a few j'ears before his death. At one period it was considered ♦ by himself as requiring not many weeks labor to complete it. In that state it was seen by some friends, to whom it appeared a finished picture. For some reason, however, the artist thought that the effect of the composition would be improved by a change in the perspective, and, in connection with this, an eidargement of the figures in the foreground. With this view, the King, the Queen, and the Soothsayers, were to be repainted. He undertook the labor, and the entire figure of the King, except the left foot, and the heads of the Soothsayers were erased. What progress he had made in restoring these, will be readily seen, as the picture is in every respect as he left it, except the original figure of the King, now pumiced down so as to leave little more than the first color, was found covered \vith a uniform coat of dead color, which com- pletely obliterated even the outline ; and of the new figure, he had repainted, but not finished, only the right hand." * * ******** " Upon the head of the Soothsayer, who faces the spectator, are the last touches ever made by the pencil of the artist, and but a few hours before his death."— 1845. 230 Baden Baden.
