In the portrait of the Emperor to which I refer, his Imperial Majesty is represented standing. He is dressed in the uniform of a general officer—unfortunately, I think, for the brick-coloured trousers, the epaulettes and decorations, give a vulgarly official look to what, otherwise would be a classic, although not a cl...

Napoleon, and at the other a _fauteuil_. Behind is a fire-place, such as one sees in the private apartments of the Tuileries. The tone of the whole is sober, and even severe. It is the antithesis of the "sensation" style of portrait, or _genre_ picture. There is nothing in it of regal grandeur, or Imperial luxury—no at...

In reproducing faithfully the features of his sitters, Flandrin does more than depict them physically. He treats the face as though it were but the outward sign of an invisible and living soul. He has most especially treated thus the head of the Emperor. On it is marked Napoleon’s character, his habits, and the history...

"The Birth of Venus," by Cabonel, is fresh, lovely, and poetic as any of the creations of the Greek poets. The Goddess of Love is represented lying upon a smiling sea, of that light blue tint which is only to be met with in the Archipelago. A few crisp breakers which assume a shell-like form, waft her across its surfac...

The “Chevalier Nigra,” by Fagnani, reminds one of those Florentine portraits alluded to by Macaulay in his Essay on Machiavelli. The eyes are calm, but their calmness is like that of the still water in the proverb. They express the faculty of thought; feeling rather than penetration, the less subtle faculty of the two....

Henriette Brown has disappointed the public by not exhibiting any of her works this year. Rosa Bonheur has in like manner allowed her brother Auguste to rank as first among the animal painters. But a great number of female artists figure in the catalogue, and will in all probability bear away as large a percentage of t...

DUNEDIN, Tuesday, March 17.

Shortly after this lady's arrival we drew attention to the apparent want of cordiality with which sh...

It is a bitter return to Miss Rye for selecting Otago as the first test of her experiment, that not only should she herself be received with scant cordiality, but that she should be doomed to appear to keep bad faith with those who have trusted themselves to her protection. The government, too, have a sad wrong to answ...

To refuse what is asked then, is in effect to say either that a regular and liberal course of education is of no advantage to a woman, or that the course of education which is found to work well when followed by men, would prove useless or injurious if adopted by women.

MY DEAR NELSON, Martin with you. I had been wishing I might have an opportunity of seeing Miss Rye, in order that I might suggest the very thing you mention, midwives. In the valley of the Wairarapa, which runs some eighty miles, and has only a scattered population, there were say, at most, three midwives; and I have ...

Besides, the great manufacturing tendency of the age cannot, and will not, and ought not to be checked. Surely we are not so cowardly, or so...
