The sale of the Graham collection has dispersed most of these. Perhaps no previous sale had evoked so much interest,--not even that of the Gillott collection. The enthusiasm then evinced, as well as the large prices obtained, shew that the work of the artist is already receiving just recognition. In addition to “The Six Days of Creation,” there were (_e.g._) exhibited at Birmingham “Le Chant d’Amour,” “Venus’s Mirror,” “The Beguiling of Merlin,” “Love in the Ruins,” “Love Disguised as Reason,” but as these are no longer here, it is unnecessary now to describe them. “The Feast of Peleus” has been lent by its fortunate possessor, Mr. Alderman Kenrick, M.P. This picture--at least from an artist’s point of view--is one of the painter’s most beautiful works. At the marriage of Peleus and Thetis, the Goddess of Discord throws down a golden apple, to be claimed by the most beautiful. Juno, Venus, and Minerva rise eagerly to claim it. In the foreground are three fates. The composition, drawing, scheme of colour, and marvellous realization even of the minutest details of form and colour render this work one of exceptionally high character, and, taken as a whole, the most enjoyable of all the artist’s productions. Attention may also be here directed to the fact that there have been placed in St. Martin’s and St. Philip’s Churches, Birmingham, two lovely stained glass windows, both designed by Mr. Burne Jones. The artist’s practice in stained glass, tempera, and mosaic has, no doubt, greatly influenced his style of composition and colour. MUNICIPAL GALLERY.--Pictures by the following Birmingham artists, named alphabetically, belong to the Corporation:-- Baker, Alfred--(an artist of great promise, who died when young)--“Harvest Time.” Baker, S. H.--“Nant Gwylt.” Breakspeare, W. A.--“The Daughter of the House.” Burt, C. T.--“The Edge Hills, from Burton Dassett.” Feeney, P. M.--“Llyn Idwal.” Hall, W.--(David Cox’s most intimate friend and biographer)--“A Peep out of Church, Bettws-y-Coed.” This picture is interesting as depicting a scene in the art-home of Cox. Henshaw, F. H.--Three fine landscapes, of which the best is “A Distant View of Kenilworth Castle.” Langley, Walter, R.I.--“Memories”--an excellent example of this artist, who has already by his work done much honour to Birmingham. It shows his deep sympathy with the humble life of English fisher folk, and is admirable in execution, lighting, and colour. Lines, Samuel--“Llyn Idwal.” Munns, H. T.--Portraits. Phillips T., R.A.--Portrait of Sir John Franklin. Pratt, Jonathan--Portraits. Roden, W. T.--Portraits. Taylor, Edward R.--“The Birmingham Reference Library, Destroyed by Fire, January, 1879.” Walton, Elijah--“Monte Tofana in Tyrol.” Wyatt, H.--“Juliet.” One other name should be included in any list of Birmingham artists. It is that of Mr. W. J. Wainwright, A.R.W.S., who has accepted a commission for the Art Gallery.
