The article presents information about the exhibition of the Academy of Design. Half-a-dozen of the youthful exhibitors of this season have given proof of the ability to produce extended historical or imaginative works. In any country of Europe these promising adolescents would be set either to paint the ceilings of rich men's villas, or to carve the tympans of their doorways, or to decorate the wails of town-halls and seats of justice, or to fresco church-interiors, or to fill ambitious orders for serious easel-pictures. The exhibition reveals these young men at the moment when their powers are most highly stimulated, and most ardently enterprising, seated at the sulky manufacture of pot-boilers.
