Muller during his short life stood beside David Cox as a leader of English landscape. His pictures are grandiose in form and show an admirable lightness of touch, but, being a foreigner, a native of Dantzig, he missed somewhat the particular qualities of color and atmosphere in the English landscape.

Thaulow has brought the refinement of Parisian influ- ence to supplement the healthy, sincere naturalism of the Norwegian landscape painters. A young girl ina purple dress sits before a gray writing- table, resting her head lightly on her hand and holding the pen in the other.

Thaulow’s youthful memories of the frequent appear- ance of a red building among the rich greens of the Nor- wegian landscape have influenced many of his pictures, and it is always interesting to note with what art he balances these brilliant colors. 1827-1890 a B “se mt FEEDING CHICKENS aa fl Re ETT ee ata ee ’ Me In the left af the foreground a woman i Siting chick ens.
