in. 62 The Alchymist in his Elaboratory with Assistants. This admirable Performance presents a happy Display of the Artist’s Talents. The Effect of Light issuing from the Sand-heat, and reflected from the Retort and surrounding Implements is contrived with surprising Effect, amounting to perfect Illusion—truly capital 80 17 0
Borrow. 63 The Hermit, companion to the preceding, capital 70 17 0
Borrow. 64 THE INDIAN WIDOW. This elegant painting is replete with poetical Beauties: the Contest of the Day is over, but the War is still waged among the Elements, and a Volcano on the Right adds to the Turbulence of the Scene. The Apathy of excessive Grief is conspicuous in the distressed Female, who is thus admirably contrasted with the agitated Objects of the Back Ground 73 10 0
in. 65 A grand ERUPTION of VESUVIUS, seen across the Bay by Moonlight— This magnificent Scene so often attempted by the Pencils of various Masters, has surely, never been expressed with more Grandeur than in this Effort of Mr. Wright—the Effect is awful beyond Description—Earth, Air and Water appear as but one Element. It is thus that real Genius can manage Nature at its Will; and the Artist who transfers her to the Canvas with so much Truth, kindles a Light, which will ever be reflected with Lustre upon his own Name 304 10 0
