A grand historical picture, by a young artist of the
modern Flemish school, M. DE KEYSER, whose age is only twenty-two, will be ex- hibited next week at Stanley's Rooms in Maddox Street. The subject is The Battle ty` Courtrai, or the Field the Gulden Spurs ; and the principal incident is the death of Robert daartois, who headed the French tinny sent against the Flemings. The composition contains numerous figures the size of life. It is unquestionably one of the finest of modern pictures, and evinces extraordinary genius and ma- turity of skill and power in so youthful a painter. It has a relish of the style of Humes in it; and brings to .mind the great works of fu titer times.
