Abstract
IT is always of interest to the student of natural science to see the impression which the objects of his study produce upon the artistic eye. In respect of the range of nature study at the Royal Academy there is, however, a lamentable falling off in the matter of natural history. With the exception of Mr. Peter Scott's “Barnacle Geese in April” (210) there is scarcely anything of note, and the almost total absence of studies of big game, notably of the great carnivora, is very disappointing. Yet the material is not lacking, for there is a remarkably fine exhibition of contemporary big game pictures in a neighbouring gallery, not “mere transcripts of the objects of Natural History” but true artistic compositions.
