ur pictures were exhibited in 1854, one of them being The Last of the Crew,—a castaway sailor seated on a rock against which his small vessel has been wrecked—the composition tells the tale with touching pathos. Ilfracombe, Devon, Dutch Boats entering Harbour, Zuyder Zee, and the Siege of Sebastian, the companion picture to The Victory both painted for Sir M. Peto, were in the Academy in 1855. His last few years did not produce any work that can fairly be compared with those we have just named, although the popularity of his pictures has never been interrupted,even to the present time. We have been careful to make our two examples of Stanfields work both sea-pieces. Mr. Ruskin says, One work of Stanfields presents us with as much concentrated knowledge of sea and sky as, diluted, would have lasted any one of the old masters his life. This eminent artist was called away on the i8th of May, 1867. As amarine painter he has been unrivalled, and great was the blank he left in this branch of Art.
