NO. eS ———— SSS SSUC AEE ENS Ermer ae 160 Morland, George. Born in the Haymarket, London, 1763; pupil of his father ; died in 1804. He came of a family of painters of some note, and his father was a portrait painter and drawing master, who also’ dealt in pictures. The boy was born in the Haymarket, London, on June 26, 1763, and under his father’s tuition he drew and painted with marked ability while yet a little child. His talent was so great, and his ability so marked, that he found an abun- dance of patronage from both private collectors and dealers, and the popular nature of his subjects made a wide market for his works in the form of engravings. How wonderful his native talent was is shown by the fine quality of the pictures he produced. Cr: In the last eight years of his life he left a record of nearly eight CS » hundred paintings, besides hundreds of drawings made for the engravers or for quick sale to collectors, FRUIT GATHERERS. Height, 12 inches; length, 15 inches. Original from which the engraving was made by M. Meadows, 1799. MODERN PAINTINGS 161 Inness, George. The death of George Inness, in 1894, ended the career of one of the greatest landscape painters of modern times, and of an artist so thoroughly American in spirit and in his productions that his departure from life assumed the importance of a national loss. He was the son of a merchant ; was born at Newburgh, N. Y., in 1828 ; and, apart from some rudimentary instructions in draw- ing, a little experience as a map engraver’s apprentice, and slight guidance in painting from Regio Gignoux and Asher B. Durand, was entirely self-educated in his art. An investigatory spirit, a resolute will, and the intelligent study of the works of the masters in Europe combined with his native genius to develop his powers. - He continued active and productive, inventive and progressive at his easel until his departure upon a vacation tour of England and Scotland, during which he died. While he painted many pictures of European scenes, particularly in France and Italy, he is strong- est and most individual in his American landscapes. EVENING GLOW.

Then visited Venice and Constantinople, and began the series of subjects by which his reputation was established. Received his first Salon medal 1851; Legion of Honor, 1857; Officer, 1878. Ziem’s pictures of Venice and of Constantinople were the first to do justice in modern times to the picturesque possibilities of their subjects. While preserving the material characteristics of his scenes, he invests them with a splendor of order in keeping - with their historical associations and the spirit of the gorgeous past of which they are magnificent if decaying monuments. KIOSQUE D’AMURAT. Signed at the right. From the Sammarcelli collection. Height, 21 inches ; length, 31 inches, 171 Vollon, Antoine. Born in Lyons, 1833, and a pupil of Theodule Ribot, Antoine Vollon is a masterly painter of genre subjects, landscape, marines and still life, though it is by the latter class of pictures that he is most widely known throughout the civilized world; for instance, he secured his appointment as an officer of the Legion of Honor, in 1878, by a picture of two fish, which is now in the Luxembourg. He continues to paint landscape and the figure when the mood is on him, with a vast breadth and freedom and truth to nature, in spite of the superior popularity won by his bold and powerful technique and splendor of color in his still-life subjects. STILL LIFE. | : Signed at the left. Height, 9 inches ; length, 13 inches. 172 Desgoffe, Blaise Alexandre. Born in Paris, 1830. Nephew and early pupil of his uncle, Alexandre Desgoffe, the landscape painter. Studied under Flandrin and Bouguereau, and eventually devoted himself to the painting of still life, in which he combined a marvellous accuracy of detail and color with breadth and brilliancy of effect. Medals in 1861, 1863, etc. Legion of Honor, 1878. CRYSTAL AND OBJECTS OF ART. Blaise Desgoffe is the only still-life artist authorized by the French government to paint objects of art which are in the Louvre Museum, In this picture are the statue of Henri IV. as a child, by Bozio, and a superb piece of crystal, both in the Louvre.

Salon medals, 1844, 1846, 1848. Legion of Honor, 1851. Died at Mentone, 1876. Diaz was the most ener- getic and indomitable fighter of the men of 1830, and pushed him- self resolutely before the public, advocating their theories and com- manding respect for them in’ a voice which brooked no denial. His influence, like that of his illustrious associates, is vindicated by the many pupils and imitators of ability who have followed his style, without rivalling him. TURKISH CHILDREN.

Earned his living, while studying painting, by designing illustra- trations for the publishers. Devoted himself largely to study of the Dutch old masters in the Louvre. Began by painting figure pictures on an extremely small scale. First exhibited at the Salon, 1834. Medals, 1840, 1847, 1843, 1848: Grand Medals of Honor, 1855, 1867, 1878. Legion of Honor, 1846; officer, 1856; com- mander, 1867; grand officer, 1878 ; member of Institute, 186r ; member of Munich Academy, 1867 ; honorary member of Royal Academy, London, and of most continental academies. He is justly considered the reviver’of the highest Dutch school of genre painting. Meissonier, although he painted by preference on a small scale, was not enfeebled in his technique by the minuteness of his labors. He remained until the end one of the greatest mas- ters of anatomy and form in Europe. The test of enlargement, which has been applied to some of his smallest works, shows that they have the same breadth and strength as pictures of the largest dimensions. He died in Paris in 1891, and was buried with the greatest public honors ever shown to a French artist. LES MOUSQUETAIRES. Water color. From the collection of Alexandre Dumas fils. In this charming work Meissonier illustrates the most celebrated of all the novels written by the elder Alexandre Dumas. The mousquetaire in front is d’Artagnan, and in the rear Athos, Porthos, and Oramis. Signed at the right. Height, to inches ; length, 14 inches. 182 Rosa Bonheur. (See No. 168). COW’S HEAD.

Signed at the left. Height, 13 inches; length, 17 inches. 183 Corot;: J. B.C, Jean Baptiste Camille Corot was born in Paris, 1796, the son of a prosperous tradesman; pupil of Michallon and Victor Bertin, and travelled in Italy in 1826. Traveled much in France, painting from nature and creating a style out of his experiments. Although at first neglected by the public, his: patrimonial fortune enabled him to live comfortably and paint to suit himself. He received medals 1833, 1848, 1855, 1867 ; was given the Legion of Honor in 1846, and became an officer in. 1867. He died in Paris in 1875. The influence of Corot on the art of our time cannot be overesti- mated. He lifted landscape painting into the realm of idyllic poetry, just as Rousseau gave it a tragic, and Diaz a romantic significance. Each man painted according to his feelings. The spirit of the south which burned in Diaz, the melancholy of an unhappy life which darkened Rousseau, was replaced in Corot by a genial gayety of temperament which reflects itself in his works. He was one of the earliest of the men of 1830 to receive public recognition, and when success did come to him it atoned for the neglect of the past. LE FAUCHEUR. An example of the best period of Corot - has been engraved for the catalogue of George d’Ay, from whose collection this picture comes. Signed at the left.

MADELEINE REPENTIE. (Repented Magdalena.) Signed at the right. Height, 36 inches ; length, 49 inches. 188 *) Troyon, Constant. Lis Born at Sévres, France, 1810; learned the trade of porcelain painter; was taught drawing by the flower painter Riocreux ; began in art as a landscape painter ; first exhibited in Salon, 1833. After a journey to Holland in 1847 he began to paint cattle, with immediate success. Medals, 1838, 1840, 1846, 1848, 1855 ; Legion of Honor, 1849. Troyon was the perfecter of the modern school of cattle painting in France, of which Bracassat laid the founda- tion. His early successes as a painter of landscape enabled him to unite his studies of animals with their natural surroundings in a perfect harmony of spirit. It has been said of him that his groups of cattle are a part of the landscape, instead of the landscape being a background against which to display them, and it was by this triumph over the artificiality of the earlier animal painters that he commanded an attention from the public which he continued to enjoy until his death.

Pierre Etienne Théodore Rousseau was born in Paris, 1812, the son of a tailor; first exhibited in Salon, 1826; originally studied figure-painting, but turned for the subjects of his choice to nature. _ His youth was one of study and care, and his maturity one of trouble through the mental affliction of his wife, whose insanity eventually affected his own brain. For the purpose of secluding 7) his wife in her periods of aberration, he sought a retreat suff- ciently near Paris for his own needs, and yet far enough away to remove her from its turmoil. So he became the actual founder of the immortal artistic colony at and around Barbizon, on the out- skirts of the forest of Fontainebleau. Here he and Millet were companions, and here he found the inspiration of his grandest productions. He was medalled at the Salon of 1834, 1849, 1855 ; was made a member of the Legion of Honor in 1852, and died in a mental apathy just as he had received his Grand Medal of Honor in 1867. Some of his finest works were retained by him through- out his life, and became known only upon the sale of his effects after his decease. THE ARTIST’S HOUSE AT BARBIZON.

This painting was painted to order for the Duke of Orleans, and was about to be delivered when the Duke was killed in 1842.

One of the most original Italian masters of the seventeenth century, born near Naples in 1615, and a pupil of his uncle, Paolo Greco, and his brother-in-law, Francesco Fracanzano.

Height, 27 inches ; length, 35 inches. LETTER FROM THEOBALD CHARTRAN. (Translated.) New York, March 10, 18096. Dear Mr. BrRANpus:—You have asked my opinion on the paintings of Salvator Rosa and Poussin that you have in your gallery. I will answer very frankly that those two canvases seem to me very interesting. The Poussin is very curious as to its execution and very rare on account of its small dimensions ; the composition is very fine—it is full of action and of the belle Gpogue of this French master. As to the Salvator Rosa of the Potocki gallery, it is of wne belle allure, and painted with the maestria which was the main quality of Salvator Rosa. Although this work does not bear the signature of the master, it is nevertheless—for all those who know something about the ancient school—one of the most original that he has executed, To conclude, I wish to say that I had the greatest pleasure to see and see again those two canvases, and that I would be very happy if they were my Own. Thanking you a thousand times, my dear Mr. Brandus, I am, etc., CHARTRAN. 192 Poussin, Nicolas. Born at Andelys in 1593, this great French painter of historical landscape studied in Paris and in Rome, where he died in 1665. His career is a romance of early poverty and later affluence. He was for a time first painter to Louis XIII., but eventually returned to Italy, where he remained. His works are of the highest esteem in. the great European collections, BATTLE OF REPHIDIM. The picture illustrates the following passage of Exodus xvii. 8-13: 8. Then came Amalek, and fought with Israel in Rephidim. g. And Moses said unto Joshua: Choose us out men, and go out, fight with Amalek; to-morrow I will stand on the top of the hill; with the rod of God in mine hand. : to. So Joshua did as Moses had said to him, and fought with Amalek ; and Moses, Amron and Hur went up to the top of the hill, tr. And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hands that Israel prevailed, and when he let down his hands Amalek prevailed. 12. But Moses’ hands were heavy ; and they took a stone, and " put it under him, and he sat thereon, and Amron and Hur stayed up his hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other side ; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun. 13.. And Joshua discomfited Amalek and his people’ with the edgé o1 the sword. Dated 1656 and signed at the right, on the saddle of a horse. Height, 21 inches; length, 30 inches. 193 Opie, John.
