ANELLI's GREAT PAINTING We visited yester-
day Anel's immense painting OF "The End OF the
World "The subject, both in design and execution,
having required no ordinary head TO conceive, and
no ordinary hand toportray the imagination OF the
artist The picture relates more particularly to the
revelations OF st. John and other passages IN the
prophesies Of Isaiah and Daniel. Without entering
into too minute detail we would express our adj
mirat;on Of this most arduous and great under
taking, as being startling and most effective pic
ture The various groups stand out in bold relief,
and appear as If they were detached from the can.
vase, in this respect vying with Debeus great paint
ing OF the /" Expulsion of Adam and Eve" which
was exhibited here some few years back. The ar
rangement OF coors is likewise admirable, and the
drawing, with one or two exceptions, is equally de-
serving Of much praise. But we cannot shut our
eyes as honest critics, TO one or two defects IN THIS
colossalpainting. Had the lights been more con-
centrated and subdued, especially in the figure re-
presenting "The Church Of Christ in its Spiritual
Sense !" il would have materially added TO the ge-
neral effect ard beauty Too much uniformity Of
feature throughout the faces Of the females PREVAILS
vet there is lie and visor in their various express
sions In our opinion there is an evident anacron-
ism as respects the costumes OF the group OF the
rich man and his daughters, the former being at
tired in ancient garb, while the daughters apparel
approximate closely 10 the recherche modes OF the
present day.


We sgain compliment Anell for having under
taken and completed so arduous and lofty subject,
and we are sure that this painting will secure him
name to "the end Of the world"
