OF ede oh PETE RYPAU DL RU Bien oa Belgium Born at Siegen, Westphalia, June 29, 1577; died at Antwerp, May 30, 1640. Studied first at Antwerp from 1596 to 1600, when he went to Venice. His copies after Titian and Giorgione at- ~ tracted the notice of the Duke of Mantua, who made him court y painter. Went to Spain as the Duke’s messenger with presents for the king. In 1605 Rubens went to Rome to continue his studies ; in 1609 became the court painter of the Archduke Albert at Brussels. Commissions crowded upon him at this time, and en- riched by his wife’s dowry (Isabella Brandt) he built himself a palace at Antwerp. After eleven years at Antwerp, where he had numerous pupils, Rubens went to Paris in 1622 to decorate for Marie de Medici the Luxembourg Palace. These twenty-one pictures are now in the Louvre. In 1624 he was ennobled by Philip IV. of Spain, and the Archduchess Isabella made him her gentleman-in-waiting. He was sent by her to England as Am- bassador in 1627 to negotiate peace between that country and Spain, In 1630, his wife having died in 1626, he married Helena 20 Fourment, his niece by marriage, and about this time executed commissions for Charles I. of England and Henri IV. of France. In 1631 he resumed his diplomatic career. Painted with great assiduity and power, in spite of various annoyances and suffering from the gout, until his death; and his works, many of which were in part executed by his pupils, number over two thousand. The Rape of Proserpine This is the first state of the celebrated painting by Rubens, who treated the same subject more than once. The figures of Pluto and Proserpine in this picture were painted by Justus Sustermans (1597- 1681), a friend of Rubens and Van Dyke; the sea and sky and the spirited horses are by Rubens. The composition shows Proserpine held in the arms of Pluto in achariot which three horses are drawing through the ocean. The blue and crimson draperies harmonize with the strong tints of the other factors in the composition, and the work is one of great distinction of color.

All the foreground is in trans- parent shadow, and on thedistant hills to the left is seen a gleam of late afternoon sunshine. A very characteristic example of the work of a painter whose fine qualities are distinctly personal. Signed at the left.

Pupil of his step-father, the engraver and painter, Peter Pelham. He began to paint portraits about 1751, and soon be- came the most celebrated master of the art in America. He went to Rome in 1774, and settled in London in 1775. Elected a royal academician in 1779. He was patronized by the royal family and | many of his works are in England. In this country his portraits ‘ are the most famous of any of those painted by the earlier American f artists. His best works were collected by his son, Lord Chancellor Lyndhurst, and many of them have been engraved. Ki Portrait of the Duke of Wellington : The face is almost in profile, and the body is covered by an ample black cloak, leaving only a little of the scarlet uniform showing about the neck. On the head a cocked hat with long points inclining down- ward and a great gold eight-pointed star and decoration on the front. The whole picture is skilfully and broadly painted, and the face is notable for the fresh life-like tints of the coloring. It was painted from life. An important example of Copley’s work. Considered as one of the best portraits in this collection by M. Benjamin Constant, when he saw it in Washington. Copley shares with Charles Leslie and Benjamin West the honor of being one of the three first American painters to be elected members of the Royal Academy.

Pupil in Valencia of Francisco Ribalta. He went to Rome when quite young, and studied there. He was. nicknamed by his fel- lows, Lo Spagnoletto (the little Spaniard), and was without re- sources. After studying with Caravaggio, he went to Parma, and finally settling in Naples, he married there the daughter of a rich picture dealer. He was made court painter by the Spanish vice- roy, and soon had wealth and honors, and inhabited a palace where he entertained sumptuously. Ribera was of a very jealous dispo- ey sition, and made war on the artists of rival Italian schools who were employed in Naples. He was made a member of the Acad-- emy of St. Luke in 1630, and was knighted by Pope Innocent X. in 1644. His ‘‘ Entombment of Christ’ and two other works are in the Louvre, and other important works are in the principal Eu- ropean museums. Martyrdom of St. Bartholomew This picture was brought to England from Spain after the Peninsu- lar War by the Duke of Wellington. The saint, an old man, nude, ex- cept for a white cloth about his loins, is a little to the right of the cen- tre of the canvas ; and the executioner, with an instrument of torture in — his uplifted hand, is cutting his breast and side with the sharp iron prongs. The martyr’s arms are drawn up above his head with ropes. To the left of the executioner are the figure of an officer in armor with a red cloak, other soldiers and a nun. A boy on the right of the com- position looks on. The head, arms, and torso of the martyr are splen- didly painted with great realistic force, the figure of the soldier in armor is admirably treated, and the head of the boy is a beautiful #or- ceau, fine in execution and charming in expression, forming a contrast to the grim faces of the others. The saint’s head, with the face lifted to Heaven, is characterized by strong drawing, and the whole work shows power and force. The saint’s nude body is a very luminous piece of flesh painting, and the composition abounds in fine passages. A very important work of the highest class by the great Spanish master.

His pictures early became popular, and he accumulated a large fortune, but lost it all in the Revolution. The vogue of David and his school, and the taste for the classic as in- terpreted by these painters, prevented any further success for Greuze, and he died in poverty. His celebrated picture, ‘‘ La Cruche Cassée,” and fourteen other pictures and portraits are in the Louvre. Other important European museums contain examples of his work. The Dead Bird A very fine Greuze. A little girl dressed in white, with a blue rib- bon in her blonde hair, is looking at a dead canary which lies on a table near its empty cage. The left hand is uplifted in a pretty gesture of sorrow, and with the right the child is about to take up the dead pet. The hair hangs ina long plait on one side of her neck, with a lock on the other side, and the expression of the face is sweet and gen- tle.

Born at Correggio about 1494 ; died there, March 5, 1534. Pupil of his father’s brother, Lorenzo Al- legri and of Antonio Bartolotti, painters of the town of Correggio, of no great repute. At Modena is said to have been a pupil of Ferrari, but all the accounts of Correggio’s early training lack con- firmation. No one has been able to trace the origin and develop- ment of his method of painting, which is unlike that of any of his contemporaries. In grace and elegance, in tenderness and sweet- ness of expression, and in skilful execution his works are unrivalled, One of the greatest masters of the Italian Renaissance. Important | works in the Louvre, in the Dresden Gallery, and at Parma.

He earned money enough to go to Madrid in 1643, where he introduced himself to Velasquez, who obtained for him permission to copy in the Royal Galleries. On his return to Seville, in 1645, he spent three years painting a series of eleven pictures for the Franciscan convent. The excellence of these works brought him many commissions, and he married in 1648. His productiveness was great, and he executed a vast number of pictures for public and private buildings in Seville. On the death of Philip IV., Murillo was made court painter by Charles II., suc- cessor Of Philip. He did not go to Madrid, but remained work- ing in Seville till his death, in 1682. He died from the results of a fall from a scaffolding upon which he was at work painting a pic- ture of the marriage of Saint Catherine for the church of Capuchin Friars at Cadiz. A large number of his pictures are at Mad- rid and in other Spanish museums. One of his best-known works s ‘The Immaculate Conception” in the Louvre. Other cele- brated works are in the principal European museums. Magdalene This picture was formerly in the collections of Baron de Beurnonville and M. Pereire, the Paris banker.

The figure is kneeling, with hands joined in prayer ; the hair hangs loosely over the right shoulder, falling upon the breast, and the eyes are raised to heaven. The dress consists of a white tunic and a violet-colored robe. In the upper part of the picture is a group of three cherubs singing, and playing on musical instruments. The background is dark in tone, and the beautiful figure of Magdalene is relieved upon it with graceful lines. In sentiment and in color quality the work is ad- mirable. Purchased from M.

TURNER (Attributed to) England Queen Mab’s Grotto This picture, purchased in New York by Mr. Mendonga, had been scorched by fire, which, notwithstanding, had not materially injured the 67 work to the point of making it unrecognizable. Mr. Mendonga knew a similar picture by Turner at the National Gallery, and had his acqui- sition restored by the restorers to the National Gallery, London. It can be either the first picture of the same subject of the National Gallery picture, reproduced by the master after this picture was injured, or a copy by some contemporary artist ; for instance, Pyne, who copied a number of Turner’s pictures. The first hypothesis is sustained by the condition of the picture before its recent restoration, as the work had caked in a manner only possible to fresh paint.

The child has a kitten in its arms, and wears a little white shirt. The mother is dressed in a skirt of light blue witha . low, loose bodice of white linen. Both faces are characteristically Eng- lish, and the artist has reproduced with fidelity both the type of features and expression, and the clear complexions of his sitters.

He was originally a coach painter, and entered the domain of the fine arts through the study of nature and pictures of the Dutch School. ‘‘Mousehold Heath,”— perhaps the best of his works, is in the National Gallery, London. He founded the Norwich School of Arts in 1805. A Landscape in Norfolk A broad road leads into the picture, with steep-roofed cottages on the right. Before the houses area woman and a child, and there is a group of dead trees on the right.

He at first painted portraits and historical subjects, but took up landscape and exhibited his first picture in 1802. He was not elected a royal academician until 1829, and his work was not appreciated or liked in his native country during his lifetime. In France he was recog- nized as a man of talent and new ideas, and French painters thought highly of his work. He is now generally considered one of. the 72 great English painters, and his pictures are in many Continental museums. ‘Two are in the Louvre, and there are examples of his work in the Metropolitan Museum, New York. Portrait of the Artist This picture is known as ‘‘ The Handsome Miller” and shows the figure in three-quarters length seated in an arm-chair. The head is turned full to the spectator and shows a manly, frank face. A table behind the chair has two books on it, and in one hand the artist holds a small leather-covered volume. He is dressed in a dark-blue coat and wears a white stock. An open window gives a view of a landscape in the distance. Head, figure, hands, and all the accessories are admir- ably painted.

He went to London in 1741 as a pupil of Thomas Hudson, and in about two years returned to Plympton and painted portraits at low prices. In 1746 he again went to London and began to practise his profession there. In 1749 he accompanied Commodore Keppel, afterward Lord Kep- pel, on a trip to the Mediterranean, and while in Rome, making studies in the Sistine Chapel, caught a cold, which brought on per- manent deafness. After two years in Rome and sojourns in other Italian cities he settled down in London in1753. In 1768 he was chosen first president of the Royal Academy and was knighted by George III. He exhibited 245 works at the Academy, his con- tributions averaging eleven a year. He died unmarried, and was buried in St. Paul’s Cathedral. He is generally conceded to be the greatest of England’s portrait painters. The National Gal- lery contains some of the best of his works, but there are others in public museums and private collections. Sir Joshua painted all 74 the great men of his day and many beautiful women. The list of his portraits is a long catalogue of notables.

Oo: MR 7) ae ot JAMES STARK Norwich, England 1794-1859 James Stark, one of the prominent figures in the so-called Nor- wich School, was the son of adyer. In 1811 his father set him 77 * to studying art under ‘‘ Old Crome,” to whom he was regularly, articled as an apprentice, according to the custom of the time. Stark developed into one if not the best of Crome’s pupils, but he failed to find appreciation in his native city. Thoroughly dis- couraged, he went to London, where, in 1817, he became a student at the Royal Academy, and commenced to find a sale for his pic- tures. In 1840 he settled at Windsor, where he found an abun- dance of subjects for his brush, but later returned to London, where he died, March 24, 1859. Stark was one of the most dis- tinctively national of English landscape painters. He had imbibed »» the very essence of his native scenery, and his pictures hold a de- - served rank among the foremost productions of their time.

There is also a pencil portrait of Byron’s daughter, Augusta Ada, afterwards Countess of Lovelace, which is accompanied by a poem ‘ To Ada.’ “The sketch of the Hellespont, showing where Byron swam across, is also by Linsell. It is accompanied by a written memorandum : “THE HELLESPONT.—SESTOS AND ABYDOS. _ “** Leander swam both ways, and Lord Byron only from Europe to Asia, his object being only to ascertain that the Hellespont could be crossed at all by swimming. In that, heand Mr. Ekenhead succeeded—the one in an hour and five minutes, and the other in an hour and ten minutes, and the tide not in their favor, but the contrary. It is not practicable from the Asiatic shore—the swim- mers must be obliged to make the real passage of one mile extend to three or four, owing to the force of the current. Any young man in tolerable health might succeed init from either side. Lord Byron was three hours in crossing the Tagus, which is much more than hazardous. In crossing the Hellespont, he started from the little cape above Sestos and landed a little below the frigate ‘‘ laying to’’ under the Asiatic. castle. The pencil view comprehends the space crossed by Lord Byron, and also by Leander. The view of Sestos and Abydos is in the distance.’ ” _ OBJECTS OF NAPOLEONIC PERIOD AND PER- SONAL RELICS OF NAPOLEON THE FIRST 463—Coronet Init1aL “N” anpd ReEpoussE Brass ORNAMENT.
