A BEM ARE A !ME COLLECTION OF PIC -
Mr. Thomas Thompson, of Boston, who
died in New York last spring, was the posses
sor of the most extensive and valuable collec
tion of pictures that has ever been gathered to
gether in this country.' So vast is this collec
tion that twelve large rooms were entirely
filled by it.„Not only were the walls com
pletely covered, but hut:Area of pictures were
stacked, tier by tier, on'every floor.
The variety and value of this monster col
lection may be'estimated by the fact that it
contained signed pictures of all schools, many
unquestioned originals by Sir Charles East
lake, 'Montag Lawrence, Sir Joshua Reynolds,
Sir Peter Lely, Godfrey Kneller,Allan Ramsay,
George Morland, Gainsborough, Phillips, Ho
garth, MeadowS, Etty, Turner, Nasmyth,
Romney, Opie, Copley, Stewart, Newton and
Steddard, of the English school, and Boucher,
Lambinet, Dubufe, Mignard, Baron, Burnet,
isabey, De Dreux, of the French. The Italian,
Dutch and German are represented by Schi-
Guercino, Teniers, Seebach, Paul Mc
carelli, Vandyke, Van Ostade, Diaz, Boucher,
Van Maas, and many others equally well
known, whose names have been made famous
and original pictures from whose hands have
become rare. There are a large number of
copies and originals by the most celebrated ar
tists of the fifteenth, sixteenth and seven
teenth centuries, 'such as Titian, Rembrandt,
Rubens and others.
American artists are also largely
represented. The names of Sully, Inman,
Bierstadt, Durand, Brown,
,Peale, Hart, Birch,
Doughty, and nearly every one who was
known ten years ago, may be found on the
catalogue. The very last picture added to the
collection was the "Sleeping Beauty,?' by
Wight, of Boston. It was purchased by Mr.
Thompson before it was finished, for the sum
of $3,000, the artist retaining the right of ex
hibition for a certain time. It was finally
passed over to the business agent of the absent
purchaser, who never saw it in its finished
state.
This immense collection, the whole of which
no one except the owner ever saw during the
lifetime of Mr. Thompson; •tvill soon be brought
to New York from Boston, and will require
ten freight cars for its transportation.
Mr. Thompson was as eccentric a 4 he was
wealthy; and while he paid liberal prices for
his pictures when bought of the artists them
selves, he drove the hardest bargain he could
with the picture dealers, and was • wonderfully
quick in detecting any attempt to impose upon
him.
Mr. sierstadt, who knew Mr. Thompson
well, says that a similar collection could not
be gathered now for less than half a million
dollars.
INTERESTING RESTORATIONS IN VENICE
A correspondent of the .Evening Post Writes :
Amid all the joyful 'excitement which has
surrounded us, we have still found time to
enjoy the Venice of the past: Two of her old
monuments have been lately restored, and
they are of great interest. The one is thp
palace on the Grand Canal, known as the Fon
ducco du Turchi. It was originally the palace
of the Duke of Ferrara, and was afterwards
given to the Turks as their warehouse. For
in. those days, when commerce was carried on
by nobles, when the " arts," that is the manu
facturers of Florence, were among its rulers,
the merchants of each country had their parti-
War palace in Venice, where their goods were
stored and their business transacted. Indeed,
each special article of trade had its peculiar lo
cality. Those days are constantly re
called to us now in our journeyings
about Venice by the names we meet, which
lave been handed down from ancient times.
There is still the bridge of the locksmiths, the
street of the capmakers, and to-day we passed
the piazza of the coffee-pots. The Fondueeo
du Turchi is one of the most beautiful palaces
In Venice. The round arches, supported by
columns of alabaker, jasper and other oriental
marbles; strings of colored marbles flung like
necklaces over the heads of the arches ; me
dallions in delicately-wrought frames, like the
setting of precious jewels ; bas-reliefs ; Moor
ish adornment about the roof; towers project
ing above the centre building, lifting another
story of the same beautiful architecture; a
bundled colors blending together, and all soft
ened by the delicate' tint of the cippolino which
lines the front, and serves to hold as in a frame
work the series of ornamentation I have de
scribed, altogether give you some idea of the
splendor of Venice when hundreds of such
buildings were reflected in the waters of the
Adriatic.
The other edifice lately given back to Venice
in its pristine beauty is the Church of the Ma
i donna dell'Orto., The outside is decorated
with statues by the author of the splendid door
of the Ducal Palace called La Carta. The in
terior is in the oriental taste, which seems so
appropriate in its lightness of architecture and
variety of coloring to this city of the sea. Pil
lars of delicately-tinted cippolino are crowded
with capitals colored after the Byi.antine
school. The roof, blue and starred, admits
here and there the likeness of a saint. On one
side of the church.are tombs, and on tlM'Other
pictures, nearly all of them by Tintoretto.
Some of those about the high altar are specimens
of those of his works where his brain peopled
his canvas with hundreds of figures, and
brought a whole population before the specta
tors. In others his fancy has been less daring
but more tender: The Presentation in the
Temple was retained for eighteen years in the
,Louvre, but has now returned to its 'original
'position. This church is • also a monument of
Marietta Rohnsti, the daughter of the great
painter, who to many ,other gifts united that
which she had inherited from her father.
Young as she was, she was so clever aportrait,.
painter that kings and emperors invited her to
their courts. But her father loved her so dearly
that he could never consent to part with her,
until, in the bloonr - dfirefylitair,sliewas taken
from JAM, and Venice mourned with him, as
he laid her to rest in the church he had so
/Dyed to adOrn. • -

the finest'-chorus singers; -and the conibina
tion ,of pure tones—soft, cheerful, brilliant, in
spiring, forcible and fierymakes the grand
„Organ. There are two things ,which.have .led
to the deterioration of the modern . .English
organ—the low price, and the freaks of the,
architect, who ordinarily knows nothinff ° about
an organ. The first -great essential in :the
creation of an organ is room for it; all the
fine organs of Europe attest the stern truth of
this necessity. The pipes must not eat up each
other; must not feed upon their mutual tone.
The modern architect neither-, giVes .frOnt-„
age,, depth, ; nor height. „The inedireial
organ was commonly from 10 to 16
feet in TrOntage, 7 to 12 in depth' and'
some three or tour feet froth the church Wall,
and from 18 to 86 feet high. The modern or
•gan' is Often not more than 8 feet front, 6 feet
in depth,,and from 11 'to 15 feet • in height..
Where Snetzler would. plant twenty. pipes our.
modern fabricator will stuff in double . the
number, and, as a matter of course; get just a
quarter of his tone. Now that electricity can:
be applied to organs, that the key-beard, May
be at any distance from the sound-boards, that
one part of an organ may be in a chamber,un
derground, another in the roof or next adjoin
ing, and a third in the choir, and, a fourth in
the nave—that every possible kind of- accom
paniment is within the grasp of the player, if
the organ-builder has the brains, the place, the
means and the money—there is really no ex
cuse fOr the present melancholy state of
things. All that is touching and : exquisite,
graceful and elegant, noble and magnificent, ,
is at the command of the organist, if the pub
lic will but pay, and the organ-builder
dwell over his work like an artist. There are
violins to be had for half a sovereign, and there
are those which are not to. be had under a
hundred and two hundred pounds—the differ
ence arising from work and material. So it is •
with the organ. The real laborer must be
paid; and properly paid, for his labor. Fine
tone in the instrument is the expression of the
patience and passion of the tone maker. It
makes the great' performer of sensibility and
taste, and' renders the audience universally
sympathetic. It bears the character of its
creator • it is the unchanging demonstration of
his art-life, and invests the instrument with a
warmth aliaL individuality that time cannot
take away. Our modern organs are without
sentiment and-feeling; there is nothing alive
about them. They are without character and
without style. •
All this has a disastrous effect upon the or
gan player. Only the genuine organ performer
knOws the delight and resources, the enlarge
ment of thought, the heightening enthusiasm,
Which the command of masses of pure tone al
ways afford. Old Bach was ever more of him
self when playing on a large Silberman; and
Handel, when young, often locked himself in
St. Paul's Cathedral to revel - for an hour pr
two with Father Schmidt. No one can bestow
the highest finish of peiformanee upon inaper
fecthnecbanism, and tone that betrays absence
of finish and style. The finest player becomes
dull and sluggish at a bald, meagre, and harsh
toned organ ;- and singers accustomed daily to •
sing.to the accompaniment of a second-rate
organ invariably fall into a negligent mode of
producing their tone, and too frequently are
found to have adopted some of the worst of
fences of the organ-tone Maker. When there
is an inferior instrument it would be well for
the choir occasionally to sing an Alla Cappella
anthem without any accompaniment, and thus
seek to avoid the possibility of •a negligence
which must necessarily accumulate into a
habit if not carefully-watched and constantly
opposed.
Without the fine ensemble in an organ,there
can be no proper rendering of the master
pieces of the old organists. The preludes and
fugues of Sebastian Bach are absolutely hide
ous on a bad organ. One may smile at
coarse, vulgar and extravagant music on a mis
erable organ, but good music on such an in
strument is tenfold more disagreeable. Fine
composition requires its complementary aux
iliary in fine tone; and the preservation of
purity in the ear can only be attained ex
cellent work in the organ-builder. Many a
clever youth has been utterly ruined by -a bad
organ. The essential and vital princple of fine
performance can never be gained, or indeed
associated with inipure tone -and inaccurate
tune. Much that we have depicted touching
the modern organ is in some degree the conse
quence of want of due care on the part of the
clergy. The harshness or sweetness of an or
gan is too often measured by its price, and a
muffled heaviness of tone is atoned for by
economy-in outlay:- This is - sad injustice to
the church, the organist and the. congregation.
There is a degree of perfection to be, procured
at moderate cost, and nothing below this de
gree ought ever to be used in divine service.,
Bad work in the long run is the dearest work
of all.
Bach's Passion Music.
Bach wrote five oratorios, called Passions.
Of the five, three are probablyall that exist;
and of the three, only two are printed and ac
cessible. These two are "the Passion accord
ing to St. John,"and that "according to St.
Matthew." The latter is the more important
of the two and probably the later; on the
whole, it is the greatest work of the author.
By a Passion is meant an oratorio which has
for its t abject the transactions of the last hours
of the life of our Saviour. It has been the cus
tom in the Protestant churches of Germany,
ever since they existed, to perform a piece of
musie,on the high festivals and solemn ecclesi
asticaltdayS, as part of the religious service pro
per to the day—a custom probably Originating
in the "Mysteries"' of Sacred PlayS,'common
in medieval times, and which still survive in
the Marionette dramas annually played in the
churches of the south of France and of Lom
bardy. On Good Fridays, the History of the
Passion and Death of the Saviour would natu
:rally be chosen as a subject of solemn music..
In these compositions, the narrative of one of
the Evangelists was_taken, and delivered con
tinuously in recitative by a solo voice, and the
story was interrupted by verses, sung by the
congregation, out of the Hymns appropriate to
the occasion; drawn from the vast Hymnology.
In which Germany is so rich, set to those Cho
rales which form at once so individual and so
interesting a part of her musical literature.
This is exactly the method followed in the ear
liest Passion known, the date of which is 1573.
By degrees, however, the., strict and sithple
didactic form of the composition was much
departed from; meditative and devotional
poetry bearing on the subject was interpolated,
and the Chorales were treated in a more.scien-
Wit manner, or were varied in harmony, so as
to lose the congregational character which they
originally had. These changes were gradually
introduced by the great masters of the German
School, Keiser, Nattheson, Telemann, Gram':
names strange to English ears, but in their own
land highly honored ; all of whom tried their
highest flights in Passion-music. But the Mat
, thew Passion of Bach far excels any of these
works in dramatic power, and it: Would be per
baps impoSsible for anything to be acted with
more effect if the solemn nature of the subject
admitted of such a mode of performance.
' The ignorance which exists with regard to
all but a small proportion of the compositiOns
of Bach, is truly rennarkable. Besides more
than 200 works for the organ; as many for the
clavier solo; 30 for the orchestra; between 20
and 30 for the clavier and orchestra, including'
concertos for three or four pianos—be Sides all
these, he left behind 'him no less than 250 great
vocal 'works; Masses,. Passions, Magnificats,
Motets, and Cantatas or Anthems, containing
music of the loftiest, alternating with the
sweetest and most plaintive character. Many
of these works are printed and to be had.
