Dated April 16, 1822. EXHIBITION AT SOMERSET HOUSE. On Monday, the 6th of May, the Exhibition of the Royal Academy opened to the public. It owes its rise and present greatness to his late Majesty, George the Third, who, with gracious benevolence, not only gave its members the present Rooms, but also lent them money to establish themselves. The success which resulted from this auspicious commencement, is well known.The Fine Arts have rapidly advanced in this country, and the members of the Academy have raised a fund, that cheers the declining age of the Academician, and throws a milder lustre on the scenes of his departing days. This fund also enables them to distribute relief to the widows and orphans of departed talent with a bountiful hand. We were prepared, however, to hear, as usual, that "it is the "worst Exhibition ever seen; that it is "full of Portraits; that it is quite a bore "to walk up so many stairs ;" and all the fashionable nonsense of pretended connoisseurs. Every dandy denies what he has seen, either because he wants that taste which discriminates, and that sensibility which is affected by the works of art, or because he thinks the admiration of beauties would be an avowal of his ignorance, and the immense distance that separates him from the Artist; or, in a word, because he knows it is easier to discover faults than beauties. He who finds fault places himself above the Artist, however inferior he may be to him; and gratifies his pride, while he imagines he conceals his ignorance. Thus, the Council, the President, and the most exquisite and elaborate works of art, must fail to give consequence and weight to such triflers. The Hanging Committee of this year were Mr. Bone, the enamel painter, Mr. Westmacot, and Mr. Bailey, the sculptors; and when we consider what an arduous task it is to place one thousand and forty-nine specimens of art in appropriate situations, we cannot help acknowledging, that the present arrangement reflects the greatest credit on their taste, judgment, and impartiality. The Exhibition abounds with talent, and the leading pictures of the various departments are infinitely superior to those of last year. Sir THOMAS LAWRENCE, the President, has eight pictures, the full number prescribed by the laws of the Academy. The King is a fine picture; and the Head of the Duke of York displays a power of pencil and drawing never surpassed, even by Vandyk. His style possesses all the fine characters of taste, elegance, and refinement, and gives, at once, dignity to his men, and a delicate sensibility to his women. The Countess of Blessington's Face is a complete exemplification of our assertion.-The loveliness of feature enchanted us, and the expression not only shews the great power of art, but proves, that Sir Thomas is not less happy in pourtraying the mind and its affections, than in delineating the features and exter nal countenance. The Portrait of Mrs. Littleton teems with the beauties we have described. WILKIE'S Picture is so admired, that it is difficult to approach it; and the Academy have been compelled to put a bar before it, to prevent its admirers from touching it. This is Wilkie's master-piece in expression, drawing, colouring, and composition.-The attentive Pensioner, with the oyster on the tip of his fork, is admirable, though we are at a loss to guess why Wilkie chose oysters for a principal feature in his picture, the scene being laid in June. Hogarth has made an oyster a matter of great interest, in his picture of The Election, where the plethoric member is going off in an apoplexy, with an oyster on the top of his fork, which is held tight by the expiring glutton; but there we cannot trace the month. This picture is a trophy to the Duke of Wellington, and will remain, for ages, a glorious monument of the Artist's fame. Mr. BONE's Enamels are extremely beautiful.The Standard Bearer (from Rembrandt) partakes of all the richness of colour possessed by the original. We remember, that last year Mr. BONE's beautiful Venus, (from Titian) belonging to the Marquis of Stafford, was placed in the dark, because one of the Hanging Committee happened to be evangelical!! We notice, in the inner room, A Party of Pleasure, painted by M. W. SHARP; it is replete with beauty and humour. The timid Girl, fearful to enter the boat, amidst the entreaties of her Father and Lover, is admirable, whilst the entertainment, her fears afford to some Fishermen in the Summer-house, is finely contrasted. Turn which side of the picture you will, the story is kept in full face.-The Arch Girl, putting her hand before her telescope, is a sweet passage; and The Diappointed Boy, with his little ship under his arm, cries most lustily. The scene, we understand, is laid at Gravesend. We were rather surprised to see a picture so foreign to Mr. Sharp's style; but we have reason to rejoice at it. The landscape, sky, and water, shew him a strict observer of nature, and that nothing escapes his eye. We understand this picture is the valuable property of the Rev. G. Preston, jun.
