UPON PORTRAIT PAINTING.

THE most natural, manly, useful, noble, and, however apparently easy, the most difficult of arts is portrait painting. Love first discovered this heavenly art. Without love what could it perform?-But what love?----And the lover-who?

Since a great part of the present work, and the science on which it treats, depend on this art, it is proper that something should be said on the subject.-Something-For how new, how important, and great a work might be written on this art! For the honour of man, and of the art, I hope such a work will be written. I do not think it ought to be the work of a painter, however great in his profession, but of the understanding friend of physiognomy, the man of taste, the daily confidential observer of the great portrait painter.-Sultzer, that philosopher of taste and discernment, has an excellent article, in his dictionary, on this subject, under the word portrait. But what can be said, in a work so confined, on a subject so extensive?

Again, whoever will employ his thoughts

on this art, will find that it is sufficient to exercise all the searching, all the active powers of man; that it never can be entirely learned, nor ever can arrive at ideal perfection.

I will endeavour to recapitulate some of the avoidable and unavoidable difficulties attendant on this art. The knowledge of these, in my opinion, is most necessary, as well to the painter as to the physiognomist.

What is portrait painting? It is the communication, the preservation of the image. of some individual, or of some part of the body of an individual: the art of suddenly depicting all that can be depicted of that half of man which is rendered apparent, and which never can be conveyed in words.

If what Göthe has somewhere said be true, and in my opinion nothing can be more truc, that the best text for a commentary on man is his presence, his countenance, his form-how important then is the art of portrait painting;

To this observation of Göthe's I will add a passage, on the subject, from Sultzer's excellent dictionary.

“Since no object of knowledge whatever can be more important to us than a thinking and feeling soul, it cannot be denied but that man, considered according to his form,
