PREFACE
This catalogue describes the paintings in the Gallery of Art of The New
York Historical Society, with two hundred and eighty-six miniatures,
comprising the Marié Collection and seventy-six objects of Sculpture.
The New York Gallery of Fine Arts, presented to the Society in 1858,
with paintings donated to the Society at various times, are numbered
1 to 488 inclusive. Any notice of this collection would be deficient
which should fail to commemorate the name of Luman Reed, Patron of
American Art. In this connection the Society was chiefly indebted to the
liberality and cordial coöperation of one of their most valued members,
who was himself the chief promoter of the original design of the New
York Gallery of Fine Arts, Mr. Jonathan Sturges.
The Bryan Collection, presented to the Society in 1867 by the late
Thomas J. Bryan, numbers three hundred and eighty-one paintings and are
designated by the letter B. before each number.
The Durr Collection, presented to the Society in 1882 by the executors
of the late Louis Durr, numbers, with subsequent additions, one hundred
and eighty-one paintings, which are designated by the letter D. before
each number.
Short biographical sketches of deceased artists represented in the above
collections have been added, together with indexes to Artists, portraits
and donors.
The Marié Collection of miniatures is arranged alphabetically by
subjects and is not included in the index of portraits.

LUMAN REED
Luman Reed was born in Green River, Columbia County, N. Y., in 1785,
and died in 1836. He removed when a boy to Coxsackie, N. Y., where he
was educated in an ordinary school at the expense of an uncle. Later he
was employed in a country store and subsequently became the partner and
brother-in-law of his employer.
He made frequent trips to New York City on a sloop called the
"Shakespeare," belonging to the firm, selling produce of the farms
around Coxsackie and purchasing goods in New York for his country store.
Later he became a merchant in New York and between the years 1815 and
1832 he gained a fortune. It was then that he began to gratify other
instincts and art attracted his attention. He became the patron of
American Art and sought the acquaintance of artists, interesting himself
in their labors, giving them many commissions for work.
Mr. Reed lived at 13 Greenwich Street, this city, the third story of
which building he used as a picture gallery, to which visitors were
admitted one day each week. This room was also a meeting place for the
artists and literary men of the time. The paintings after Mr. Reed's
death were purchased by his friends and subsequently constituted the
New York Gallery of Fine Arts which, after an uncertain existence of
about twelve years, was forced to close its affairs. Eighty of these
paintings, presented in 1858, are now in the possession of this Society
and known as the New York Gallery of Fine Arts.
The death of Mr. Reed was greatly lamented by the artists of his time
and his name has come down to this generation as the Patron of American
Art.

GALLERY OF ART
NO. SUBJECTS OF PAINTINGS. ARTISTS.
1-5. The Course of Empire. _Thomas Cole._
A series of five pictures, illustrating a nation's rise,
progress, greatness, decline, and fall, and the consequent changes
in the same landscape.
NOTE.--The isolated rock, crowning a precipitous hill, in the
distance, identifies the scenes in each of the series; but the
observer's position varies in the several pictures.
"First freedom, and then glory, when that fails,
Wealth, vice, corruption."
(_Reed Collection._)
(_New York Gallery of Fine Arts._)
[FIRST OF THE SERIES.]
1. The "Savage State," or "Commencement of Empire." (61½X39.)
The sun is rising from the sea, over a wild scene of rocks,
forests, and mountains, dissipating the clouds and darkness of
night. Man, attired in skins, is seen engaged in the wild dance
and the chase--the characteristic occupations of the savage life.
In the picture, we have the first rudiments of society. Men have
banded together for mutual aid. The useful arts have commenced in
the construction of the canoe, the weapon, and the hut; and we may
imagine the germs of two of the fine arts, music and poetry, in the
singing usually accompanying the dance of the savage. The empire
is asserted, to a limited extent, over sea, land, and the animal
kingdom. It is the season of Spring--the morning of the nation's
existence.
[SECOND OF THE SERIES.]
2. "The Arcadian," or "Pastoral State." (62½X39.)
Ages have passed; a change has been wrought in the scene--man
has subjugated "the untracked and rude." We now see the shepherd
and his flocks; the ploughman upturning the soil, and the wafting
sail; by the shore a village, and on the hill the ascending smoke
of sacrifice. In this picture we have agriculture, commerce, and
religion. In the aged man describing the mathematical figure, the
rude attempt of the boy in drawing; in the female figure with the
distaff, the vessel on the stocks; in the primitive temple, and the
dance of the peasants to the music of the pipe, we have evidence of
the advance made in science, in the useful and the fine arts.
It is early Summer, and the sun has ascended midway to the
meridian.
[THIRD OF THE SERIES.]
3. "The Consummation of Empire." (75X50½.)
The rude village has become a magnificent city. From the
bay--now a capacious harbor, with _phari_ at the entrance, and
thronged with war-galleys, and barks with silken sails--ascend
piles of architecture, temples, domes, and colonnades. The massive
bridge, the streets and squares, lined with palaces and adorned
with statuary, clustered columns, and sparkling fountains, are
crowded with gorgeous pageants and triumphal processions. It
is a day of triumph--man has conquered man--nations have been
subjugated. By wealth and power, knowledge, art, and taste, man has
achieved the summit of human grandeur.
The sun is near the meridian.
[FOURTH OF THE SERIES.]
4. "Destruction." (62½X38½.)
Ages have passed away since the scene of glory. Luxury has
enervated, vice has debased, and the strength of the mighty nation
has consumed away. A barbarous enemy sacks the city. The heavens
are darkened by a tempest, and the storm of war rages beneath, amid
falling walls and colonnades, and the flames of temples and palaces.
[FIFTH OF THE SERIES.]
5. "Desolation." (61X39½.)
The moon ascends the twilight sky, near where the sun rose in
the first picture. The last rays of the departed sun illumine a
lonely column of the once proud city, on whose capital the heron
has built her nest. The shades of evening steal over shattered and
ivy-grown ruins. The steep promontory, with its insulated rock,
still rears against the sky, unmoved, unchanged; but violence and
time have crumbled the works of man, and art is again resolving
into elemental nature. The gorgeous pageant has passed; the roar of
battle has ceased; the multitude has sunk in the dust; the empire
is extinct.

To do this piece of ruthless butchery,
Albeit they were flesh'd villains, bloody dogs,
Melting with tenderness and mild compassion,
Wept like two children in their death's sad story.
_O thus_, quoth Dighton, _lay the gentle babes_,
_Which once_, quoth Forrest, _girdling one another_
_Within their alabaster innocent arms;_
_Their lips were four red roses on a stalk,_
_Which in their summer beauty, kiss'd each other._
_A book of prayers on their pillow lay:_
_Which once_, quoth Forrest, _almost changed my mind:_
_But O, the Devil_,--there the villain stopp'd."

beginning of the 17th century (1601-15), and reproduced in the
edition by Barcia in 1726-30. This series of the Incas, as given
