Transcript | 36 ROME. change after too close application during the winter. Mr. C. C. Griswold, another young American artist, to whom it was our pleasure to be introduced and to visit at his studio, is entirely devoted to landscape, chiefly from subjects to be found in the neighbourhood of Rome, Tivoli, and Albano; all his subjects are well selected, and rendered with great truth of colour and tenderness of feeling. The work upon his easel and just complete was the Ponti San Francisco at Subiaco, a lovely little picture of the evening glow of sunset, with a long stretch of misty expanse, showing miles of distance in an inch of space. We were glad to have the opportunity of meeting with so many of our American brother artists, since we are perhaps apt to rate their powers far below their deserts, and we confess to having been greatly impressed by the works of those residing in Rome, as we have also considerably enjoyed their large hospitality. |
