VANDERLYN's PrcrURE.--THE LANDING OF CO.
LuMBUs.--We have taken first and somewhat has
ty view Of this national picture, to which public ex


pectation has long been directed and we are conf
dent it will be more than gratfed---that indeed it
will hail the work as proud triumph to American
art and genius The fret impression made upon
our mind was that the sky, water, and whole scene
ry were American and the next that the figure, cos
tume attitude, and countenance of the great discov-
erer were true history and to poetic imagination,
expressive of cslmnsss, dignity, and devotion. In
one hand, Columbus bears the flag Of his country,
in the other his sword pointed towards the earth;
he stands and uncovered, with eyes lifted to
Heaven in prayer to the Supreme Being. The sol
emn attention Of his principal officers in the rear,
among whom. is monk bearing the cross, the sur.
prise or the tawny and naked Indians booking from
behind the hills on his left, the joy of those just
sprinsng from their boats to the shoretheir barks
dimly seen far out on the oceanthe whole grouping
and the entire appear true to nature and vivid


ly impress US with the realities of the event which
gave new world not merely to the kingdom of Cas-
tile and Leon, but to the enduring and ever-exend-
ing empire Of knowledge, liberty, and Christianity.
All should see this great painting which des-
tined to adorn the Capitol of the Union!1 ~ gaa n
