THOMAS E. KIRBY AND HIS ASSISTANTS, MR. OTTO BERNET AND MR. H. H. PARKE, OF THE AMERICAN ART ASSOCIATION, MANAGERS MADISON SQUARE SOUTH, NEW YORK 1920 DESIGNS ITS CATALOGUES AND ALL DETAILS OF IL A WORD AS TO THE MESDAG COLLECTION Tuts collection now about to be dispersed in America, its com- ponents enumerated and described in the present catalogue, was the private collection of the late Hendrik Willem Mesdag, the famous modern Dutch marine painter, of The Hague, Holland, who died five years ago. Visitors to the Dutch capital, and others interested and versed in the art affairs of the world, know or know of the Mesdag Museum at The Hague, founded, formed and established by Mr. Mesdag. They know also of the Mesdag Panorama there. Both those institutions remain and continue to flourish in the Dutch city. This collection is a separate and distinct entity, mtimately related to the Museum, as will presently be explained, in no way connected with the Panorama—which is a spectacle of Scheveningen, the Dutch fishing village and famous summer resort. This private collection of Mr. Mesdag, with works of his own and works by his wife (née Sientje van Houten )—who signed her paintings S. Mesdag van Houten or S. M. van Houten—together with his studio effects, Mr. Mesdag intended to go to the Netherlands Government to become a part of the Mesdag Museum; his will directed that the Government be invited to acquire it. His death in the second year of the war found his country upset, and although Queen Wilhelmina offered a private contribution toward a fund for securing the collection her Government decided that it was not a time to do so, and the executors of the will were obliged to make other disposition of it. That it was to leave Holland evoked a poignant regret from at least one former Minister of the State. | Mr. Mesdag’s home at 9 Laan van Meerdervoort adjoined the Museum (to which he had a private entrance), so it were fitting both home and collection should have gone to the Museum, which now gets neither. The collection represents the surroundings and the carefully selected works of art with which the painter chose to live. His studio was a huge one, hung with Seventeenth Century tapestries. His-house con- tained twenty-two rooms. Its yard ran back to the Peace Palace. One room was entirely given to the works of Charles Francois Daubigny, his friend of earlier years. He was a man of many friends and carefully chosen intimacies. Mancini was a crony with whom he exchanged visits. The three Maris brothers were his intimates—even “Thys” (Matthys—Mathew ) who lived in England. So were Mauve and de Bock, Roelofs, Israels, Blommers, Bosboom and Neuhuys. And the afternoon cup of tea was a long session. | The famous panels of his sliding studio doors—they are here in the collection—were painted by invitation by Israels, Willem Maris, W. C. Nakken the painter of horses, Edward van der Meer, the landscapist, Philip Sadée the interior and figure painter, Gerke Henkes who is better known in Holland than in America—and there are panels also by the artist and his wife, who wished to number themselves with their works among their friends. (Mme. Mesdag’s death preceded her husband’s by six years.) Alma-Tadema was a relative, and there is a personal tribute by him in the collection, a sketch of a con- vivial occasion, which may make Americans pant—but not as the hind after the water brooks. Hendrik W. Mesdag and his hospitality were known to Americans who sought him out, and who found him easy of access. He was known also personally here in this country, to which he made two visits, the first one in a representative official capacity at the time of the Columbian Exposition in 1893, and again when the Hudson-Fulton Memorial Exhibi- tion was held in this city. On the occasion of the former visit he was already famous as a painter, although it was said of him that he never exhibited his work until he was fifty years old. As a wealthy banker and broker, inheriting comfortable means from his father, he was able to pursue his art in leisurely manner and even before becoming noted as a painter to indulge his taste in art as pleased him, which he continued to do to the end. The collection is too large for much particularization here. To mention a few names besides those already spoken of, Rousseau is represented by two important works from the Rousseau sale, Corot is included and Monticelli, and Mettling, and among the few Old Masters van der Velde, Palamedesz and van Ceulen. The Millet drawings are numerous, important, fascinating, and include two recorded in ‘*The Drawings of Jean Francois Millet, with 50 fac-simile reproductions of the master’s work”, which has an introductory essay by the dis- tinguished French writer M. Léonce Bénédite, the Director of the Museum of the Luxembourg. The Daubigny drawings are remarkably impressive. The Mauve pencil sketches bring Holland over with them, the Mancini nudes in red chalk will bring out the artists mm force. The Matthys Maris oil ‘“Ramskopf” was exhibited on loan at the Corporation Gallery of London, the Guildhall, in 1903. The catalogue of that ex- hibition had this note of the painting: ‘The painter Mesdag has said of this work: ‘That splendid head, in which every- thing is said that can be said; color, line, tone, expression; the shightly advanced head, with the soft, almost human eyes, I never enter my studio in the morning without my eye falling upon this creature and wishing it ‘Good Morning.” ’ ” The collection of etchings includes the work of Mullet, Vollon, Rousseau, Jacque, Fortuny, Daubigny, Corot and Bauer. Of the great number of water colors, many were kept unframed in drawers, to be taken out and looked at and shown with interest from time to time. The tapestries are French and Flemish, including Gobelins, Beauvais and Brussels, and number among other subjects “Narcissus at the Water’s Edge”, “Diana Imploring Jupiter”, “Idolatry before Baal”, and “Triomphe d’Alexandre’”’, the latter after cartoon by Charles le Brun.

No pedigree accompanies this fine portrait, and the traditional identifi- cation has been slightly erroneous. But there can be no doubt that the facts now collated are correct. For attached to the wall in the right background, and decoratively displayed as if hanging from a knotted red ribbon, are two escutcheons. That on the dexter side is of the Gael family, who flourished at Leyden and Rotterdam in the seventeenth century; their arms weré: D’or a deux fasces de gules chargé de cing losanges d’argent, 3 et 2. That on the sinister, or female, side is circular; it is of the Van Berckel family, who are known to have then prospered at Delft and Rotterdam; their arms were: D’azur a trois étoiles dor. 43 That this is the companion portrait to that of Jan Niclaess Gael, which was in the Rothan Collection in Paris in 1873, will not be gainsaid. The male portrait, the whereabouts of which has not been known in recent years, is now in private possession in this country. It is signed and dated, exactly as the present panel: “Ao. 1664, A. Palamedesz pinxit.” The Gazette des Beaux Arts. 1873, Vol. VII, p. 278, reproduces the male portrait, and states that “from a few lines written in Dutch on the back, we know that the elegant sitter was called Niclaesz Gael, who was born Aug. 3, 1606, and died Nov. 2, 1666. Not merely is this name lost in the immense oubli, but one is readily persuaded that a gentleman of such fine breeding must have played an important réle in his time. The picture is as acceptable as the person represented is sympathetic. Very fine taste has marked the execution of the portrait.” The man in that picture is turned three-quarters to the right, wears a large, flat, lace collar; his right hand is on his hip. The male portrait was included in the sale catalogue of the Rothan Collection (No. 85) in Paris, May 29, 1890. It is therein reproduced and fully described, and the measurements exactly tally with those of the present work. When transferred in recent years, the inscrip- tion on the back of the male portrait was removed. It bears, high up on the left, the écusson armorié of the husband, and beneath it are the signature and date. Thus the inscriptions, the elements of composition and the measurements make them companion portraits. Moreover, it is to be noted that Palamedesz was born and worked for a time at Delft, where members of the Van Berckel family lived. P. Mantz: “Rothan Catalogue,” 1890, p. 63.
