From the year 1806, when he painted his first work, till the year 1814, when he was elected an Associate, he ex- hibited eight pictures : ' Cephalis and Procris' from Ovid ; ' Venus carrying the wounded Aeneas from battle ;' ' Ulysses and Calypso ;' ' The good Samaritan ;' ' John of Gaunt re- proving Richard the Second;' ' Christ restoring sight to the Blind ;' ' Mary anointing the feet of Jesus ;' and ' Miranda and Ferdinand bearing the Log. ' These were one and all large pictures, possessing ...much dignity of expression, were finely drawn, skilfully arranged, and softly and harmoniously colored. In the three following years, he exhibited the * Raising of Lazarus, ' ' Una with the Satyrs, ' and ' Gany- mede ;' and in the year 1819 he was chosen a Royal Acade- mician. This symptom of approbation by his brethren had how- ever little effect upon the patrons of art, and Hilton con- tinued to paint without attracting that notice to which his modest merit fully entitled him ; but when in 1821, he ex- hibited his very vivid and poetic picture of ' Nature blowing bubbles for her children, ' it was thought that the tide of opinion had turned in his favor, for every eye was on it, and commendation flowed from every lip.
