At the age of nineteen he became a pupil in Pasis of Picot, supporting himself while _ he studied by working as a photographer. In 1868 the _ painter Vibert, who had become his brother-in-law, induced him to give up photography and devote himself entirely _ to painting, and his success was almost immediate. He abandoned landscape, took to figure subjects, and com- menced to paint the military pieces on which his future reputation was to rest, making a voyage to Algiers in quest of motives. The war with Prussia recalled him to France, Ve and he served in a regiment of franc-tireurs, receiving a iy military medal for gallantry under fire. At the end of the Bi a ae i travelled in England, resided in Russia as the guest of Czar Alexander II., practised with success as a sculpt and an etcher, and was made a member of the Legion of Honor in 1878. | EARLY MORNING IN THE REDOUBT BOEHMER (@. ) ; 2 _A genre staan of “peas \ THE PARK BONNAT (LEON JOSEPH FLORENTIN) Born at Bayonne in 1833. He first studied ‘under - ° Madrazo in Madrid, and after some time with his Spanish — master he went to Paris and became a pupil of. Léon Cogniet. In the competition for the Prix de Rome he took the second prize, which did not entitle him to a full — scholarship. His friends, however, came to his assistance, — and he spent four years studying in Italy, where he ao Ag a good many Italian subjects, chiefly studies of peasant life. He has received many honors in his profession, the chil of which are medals at the Salon in 1861, 1863 and at the ~ Exposition of 1867, and a medal of honor at the Salon in 1869. He was made Chevalier of the Legion of Honor oe in 1869, Officer in 1874, Commander i in 1882, and Grand Commander in 1897. Member of the Institute of France. A LITTLE ROMAN GIRL j 21 -_- BOUDIN (LOUIS EUGENE) France It was Boudin who advised Monet, disgusted with his. brief experience in the studio of Gleyre, to paint only from nature. Among the marine and landscape painters of _ France he occupies a foremost rank. Whether painting the coast of France, or glimpses of her ports, or frag- ments of river scenery, he displays an intuition of the main -. characteristics of the scene, and renders them in fashion et spirited or impressive, as the occasion needs. Few painters: “have ever rivalled him in the skill with which he depicted the animation of wharves and shipping ; his atmospheric effects are particularly good; he could saturate the scene with fresh moisture or enliven it with breeze. His ability to express in broad simplicity a lattice-work of masts, spars and rigging, or an ample stretch of sky and pasture, is equally admirable. His studies of cattle also rank among the best. He was born at Honfleur in 1824, and died at Deauville, August 8, 1898. Pome in THE VALLEY | 15 THE BEACH AT BTRETAT 88 BROWN (JOHN LEWIS) France Born at Bordeaux, the 16th of August, 1829, of a family originally ‘English. He became known by his studies of horses and dogs, sporting scenes and military subjects. He gained medals in 1865, 1866 and 1867, and a gold medal at the Exhibition of 1889. Mr. Brown was decorated with the Legion of Honor in 1870. He died in Paris the 14th day of November, 1890. THE MORNING OF THE HUNT. ~ | 2 % a CALLCOTT (SIR AUGUSTUS W.)

Died in Kensington in 1844. CLASSICAL LANDSCAPE 17 ‘CAZIN (JEAN CHARLES) France Born at Samar, in Picardy, and a pupil of Lecog de © Boisbandrau, Jean Charles Cazin won his first medals at ‘the Salon in 1876 and 1877, by figure subjects. Eventu- ally turning his attention to landscape, he speedily secured recognition as the creator of a new and distinct school, in which are combined poetic sentiment and broad, free and _ simple treatment, but with close adherence to the organic _ facts of nature. He had been a Member of the Legion of Honor since 1882. In 1894 he visited the United States, -and made an exhibition of his works at the American Art ‘Galleries with great success. His wife and son are also artists of ability. Cazin died at his country seat near Paris in 1901. : **M. Jean Charles Cazin is one of the most original -and fascinating personalities in contemporary French art. For this man painting is not a commerce, but an inspira- ‘tion; he does not sit down with the commonplace purpose of ‘ ry ie making a mere literal transcript of reality but rather uses nature as the means of expression, and, as it were, the vehicle of an intimaté ideal; possessing superabundantly that intricate combination of intuitive perceptions, feel- - ings, experience, and memory -which*we-call imagination, he dominates nature, and manifests in harmonious creations the enthusiasm, the passion, the melancholy, the thotisand shades of joy or grief, which he feels in his communion with the great sphinx.”—-Turopore Cuitp in Harper’s Magazine. THORNFIELD CASTLE 72 CHASE (HARRY) United States Born at Woodstock, Vermont, in 1853. He was a pupil of the school of the National Academy of Design, of the Bavarian Royal Academy in Munich, of Soyer in Paris, and of Mesdag at The Hague. He was an Associate of the National Academy of Design, and a Member of the Ameri- can Water Color Society. Died 1889.

A SHEPHERDESS 3 18 THE GOOSE GIRL | 48 GIRL TENDING TURKEYS 84, COROT (JEAN BAPTISTE CAMILLE) France Born in Paris, 1796. The son of a court modiste, Corot was destined for trade, but at length was permitted to study art by his father, who allowed him an annuity of twelve hundred francs. From the studio of Michallon he passed to that of Bertin, with whom he also made his first visit to Italy. With figure subjects and landscape in — the classical manner he made his entrance at the Salon and obtained sundry honors. In 1843, however, after his re- turn from his third visit to Italy, he came under the in- fluence of Rousseau, and was led by him to recognize the beauty of French landscape. Though nearly fifty, he set to work as a student, and during the next eight years gradually reached that style of delicate truth to nature and of exquisite poetry in which he is unapproachable. Twenty-five years were still in store for him, and during these he produced his masterpieces. Devoted to music and to his friends, Pére Corot retained his youth to the end, which came peacefully in 1875. *“Qn his death-bed his friends brought him a medal struck to commemorate the jubilee of his seventy-ninth birthday, and he said: ‘It makes me happy to know that one is so. loved; I have had good parents and dear friends.

THE ROUNDELAY 1 DAGNAN-BOUVERET (PASCAL ADOLPHE J EAN) This artist was a pupil of Gérdme and made his début in the Salon in 1877, and in 1878 he received a medal for his *“* Burial of Manon Lescaut.” In 1880 M. Dagnan- Bouveret received a first-class medal; in 1885 the Legion of Honor, and in 1889 the medals of honor at the Salon and the Universal Exposition. More his own country could not do for him, except to support him with her patronage, _ and this she has honestly done. Commencing on the foun- dation of neo-classical art which characterizes the Géréme school, M. Dagnan has created a school of his own, in which he has many followers. He is absolutely free from any of the mannerisms or conventionalities of academic train- ing and equally free from any personal affectations of technique. Bastien-Lepage, himself an artist of a very similar type, held him in the highest esteem, and since the death of his friend, M. Dagnan comes closer to taking his place than any other artist of the day. M. Dagnan takes his surname, Bouveret, from his mother, in order to distin- guish himself from another artist of the name now deceased. He is a native of Paris, where practically his entire life has been spent in the studies and the labors of which his works are the rich if not numerous fruit. . THE WATERING TROUGH 66 DAUBIGNY (CHARLES FRANCOIS ) France Born in Paris in 1817. After studying with his father, Edme Frangois, he visited Italy, and on his return spent some time in the studio of Delaroche. From 1838 he was a constant exhibitor at the Salon, and became identified with subjects drawn from the Seine, Marne and Oise, navigating these waters in a floating studio. He had spent much of his childhood in the country near L’Isle Adam, and, as an artist, turned unreservedly to nature study. The youngest of the Barbizon group, he entered into the harvest of recognition won by the older men. His art was delicately individual. He saw everything with the curiosity and love of a child, and despite his dexterity his work always retained a delightful spontaneity and fresh- ness. His death occurred in 1878. ‘It is quite probable that other men of the Barbizon school at times were greater artists than he; they may have possessed a livelier poetic fancy; they may have displayed a nobler creative genius and wrought with a more intense dramatic power; they may have been better craftsmen and attained greater heights in the pure domain of art; but for close, daily companionship, year in and year out, all true lovers of the beautiful in nature must have somewhere in their secret heart a snug little corner of affection for this frank, sincere, lovable painter of the ‘ Orchard,’ the a ed OMe Si See —T - MAR eee a et Sh es ‘Wiet a; : * Riverside,’ and the ‘ Borders of the Sea.’ ’—Evtracts from biographical notes on Troyon and Daubigny, by the late W. H Furier. _—s« BANKS OF THE OISE . i DEFREGGER (FRANZ) Austria Born on a farm at Stronach, in the Tyrol. In 185%, when he was twenty-two years of age, the death of his father made him master of the farm, and the first use he _ made of his inheritance was to sell it and go to Innsbruck to study the art of sculpture under Professor Stoltz. His master advised him to undertake the study of painting in- stead, and he took his first lessons at Munich under Profes- sor Anschiitz. Ill] health sent him to Paris for a time, whence he returned to his native village, continuing his studies from nature till, in 1866, he entered the Piloty school at Munich. His reputation progressed from city to city, and from exhibition to exhibition throughout Eu- rope. He received medals at Paris, and honorary member- ships of the academies of Munich, Vienna, Berlin; the great gold medal of Munich, the first prize of Berlin, and finally, in 1883, his patent of nobility. LOVE-MAKING 32 DELACROIX (FERDINAND VICTOR EUGENE) Born at Charenton in 1799. He made his début as a painter at the early age of twenty-three with his “ Dante and Virgil,” when he was still a pupil of Guérin. But he did not long follow the banner of the classicists, for he Se broke new ground for himself, travelled in England, Spain and North Africa, and, although always in feeble health, produced a marvellous number of pictures, covering a great range of subjects and notable for wonderful richness of color and boldness of execution. He received medals at Paris in 1824 and 1848, and the Medal of Honor at the Exposition in 1855. He was made Chevalier of the Legion of Honor in 1831, Officer in 1846, and Commander in 1855. He was a Member of the Institute of France. Died in 1863. AN ARAB FANTASIA - 70 DE NEUVILLE (ALPHONSE MARIE) France Born at St. Omer, Pas-de-Calais, 1836. Originally a law student in Paris, but later adopted art. Pupil of Picot and Pils. Made a specialty of military subjects. Medals, ; 1859 and 1861. Legion of Honor, 1873. Officer of Le- gion, 1881. Died in Paris, 1885. De Neuville was the : founder of the powerful and modern school of military art which has succeeded that of his masters. Pils and Vernet. “That France accepted the death of De Neuville, in 1885, as a national misfortune was the most splendid trib- ute that could be paid to the artist and the man. His whole life had been a romance. Out of his love of art he . had surrendered, at its beginning, the material advantages of the career for which his family had destined him. It is said that upon his bed of death he thought himself once more on fields of battle, and imagined, in his last hours, the reality of the pictures in which he had made his coun- try’s heroism immortal. Before his fading sight floated | the smoke of Magenta; in his dull ears roared’ the cannon of Buzenville; he heard, in the echoing chambers of his memory, the crackling fusillade of Le Bourget, and the shouts of victory in the German tongue. Born at St. Omer in 1836, De Neuville had in less than fifty years of life created a new military art for France. No man has made so much out of the dramatic incidents of war as he. The tragic episodes of battle, the individual events of the cam- paign, were his themes, for the human appeal they made to him was repeated by him on the canvas. Where Detaille, his great successor, is a thorough realist, De Neuville al- ways remained with a vein in-him of that poetry which ele- vates the artist above mere materialism.” THE HEADQUARTERS FLAG 46 DETAILLE (JEAN BAPTISTE EDOUARD) France Born at Paris, 1848. Favored pupil of Meissonier. First exhibited at Salon, 1868. Medals, 1869, 1870, 1872. Legion of Honor, 1873. Officer of Legion, 1881. Grand Medal of Honor, 1891. Detaille, at his present early age, already leads the military painters of France, and has re- ceived the highest honors for his patriotism-inspiring pro- ductions. * Tetaille was one of the few pupils of Meissonier whom the master ever took into his studio, and the one whom he loved above all others. Meissonier it was who influenced him to make military painting his forte, both because he had a talent for it and because that line of art would be al- ways popular among the martial people of France. ‘The finest portrait of Meissonier ever painted is in one of De- taille’s pictures. The master is shown standing at the curb- Va uve oe ge , ¢ stone, in a vast crowd, watching ‘ The Passing Regiment,’ and is depicted to the life. The picture was Detaille’s first great success, and now belongs to the French Government.” RECONNOISSANCE FROM THE WINDMILL 52 DE THOREN (OTTO) Austria Born in Vienna in 1828. Animal and landscape painter. Studied in Brussels and Paris, taking up painting in 1857, after having served in Austrian army in the campaigns of 1848-49 ; returned to Vienna in 1865 and afterwards settled in Paris. One of the best of living animal painters. Mem- ber of the Vienna and St. Petersburg Academies. / Medals: Paris, 1865; Munich, 18697 Vienna, 1882. Chevalier of the Order of Francis Joseph. Russian Order of Vladimir. POLLARD WILLOWS / ot HUNGARIAN MARKET 71 ON THE ROAD TO MARKET 85 DIAZ DE LA PENA (NARCISSE VIRGILE) France He was born in 1807 at Bordeaux, whither his parents, who were Spanish, had taken refuge from the Revolution across the Pyrenees. Losing his father early, he was brought to Paris by his mother, who supported herself by giving lessons in Spanish and Italian. Through the bite of a poisonous insect he lost his leg and stumped the streets of Paris as a lame errand boy until he obtained employ- ment in the porcelain factory at Sévres. But his inde- Pera te er re re pendence cost him his position and, thrown upon his own resources, he painted little figure subjects of nymphs. Finally he met Rousseau, whose influence drew him to Fon- tainebleau and to landscape. Now commenced the art on _ which his fame endures—subjects drawn from the recesses of the Forest, where the play of light was most enchanting, and rich harmonies of tone called forth his brilliant powers as a colorist. Often he would people them with figures, glowing masses of hue set amidst the verdure. In 1876 he was attacked with an affection of the chest and sought _ Mentone, but only to die there. THE LAP DOG 19 THE MARSH | 26 DUPRE (JULES) _ France Born at Nantes, 1812. Learned to paint on porcelain. Studied from nature and the old masters in the Louvre. Exhibited at the Salon, 1821, and won the favor of the Duke of Orleans. First Salon medal, 1833; Legion of Honor, 1849; Officer of Legion, 1870. Died near Paris,, 1889. *'To a purchaser who was teasing him to finish a pic~ ture in a few hours, with the aid of that sureness of hand and eye which he has acquired, Jules Dupré replied in my presence: *¢* You think, then, that I know my profession? Why, my poor fellow, if I had nothing more to find out and to learn, I could not paint any longer.’ “In these words is his whole life of search and study. Truly, the day when self-doubt should vanish from an artist’s mind, the day when he should not feel before his canvas the trouble which throws the brain into fever—on that day he would be no better than a workman taking up in the morning the task of the evening before, ploddingly and without hesitation, but also without mobility. The day when Jules Dupré should open his studio without a thrill and leave it without discouragement, he would consider that he had arrived at the end of what he could do—and he would be right.”—Extracts from Notes sur les Cent Chefs- d’Ufuvres, by AtBert WoLrFrF.

After study- _ ing with Grandon at Lyons, he entered the Academy School in Paris, 1755, and the same year exhibited “ Father _ Reading the Bible to His Children.” It was greatly ad- - mired, and at the close of the year he was taken to Italy by the Abbé Goujenot. After his return he exhibited at the Salon until 1767, when he retired from Paris, indignant that he should have been received into the Academy not as a painter of historical but of genre subjects. He returned, however, and exhibited in his studio, his pictures attract- ing all Paris. The times were witnessing a reaction from the previous licentiousness of the Court, and it was Greuze’s métier to paint the beauty of virtue, the sentiment of a happy and innocent bourgeoisie. ‘Thus he was the father of French genre painting, though he lives to-day mainly through his ideal heads of girlish beauty. He amassed a large fortune, which, however, was lost at the Revolution. He died, neglected and in poor circumstances, in 1805. TETE DE G@ARCON 25 GRISON (JULES ADOLPHE) France Jules Adolphe Grison is a native of Bordeaux, and he is a pupil of Lequien. His subjects, almost entirely drawn from the life of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, exhibit him as an artist of infinite humor, acute judgment of character, and technical skill of a rare order. His color is gay and brilliant, his touch rapid and clear, and he pos- sesses the faculty, once unique with Meissonier, of impart- ing to his minutest cabinet compositions the solidity and breadth of works of the largest scale.

His parents, emigrating from Kilmarnock, Scot- land, settled in Albany, New York, in 1831, and in time apprenticed their sons to a local carriage builder. But both had spent their spare time in studying art. In 1853 William Hart opened a studio in New York, and five years later was elected an Academician. During 1870-1873 he was President of the American Water Color Society. He died in 1894. CATTLE AT WATERING PLACE ; 6 HARPIGNIES (HENRI) France ** We confront a passionate lover of art in Henri Har- pignies. His birthplace was Valenciennes; his advent, July 28, 1819. Equally in oil and water colors he has taken highest rank. He studied with Achard, visited Italy, and made his manners to the Salon in 1858, since which date he has exhibited regularly. His ‘ Evening in the Roman Campagna’ received a medal in 1866, which was so cor- Sa st, i es a le!) oN dially granted that it repaired somewhat the neglect of the year preceding. This picture is at the Luxembourg. He was medalled in 1868 and 1869 ; Second Class, 1878; Legion of Honor, 1875; Officer, 1883. Harpignies came of a wealthy family of merchants, who restrained his tendency to art. He was twenty-seven years old when he appeared in the studio of Achard, who was the dignified embodiment. of academic methods. In the foreground of our time, his figure, tall, robust, square-shouldered, groups naturally, though much younger, with Diaz, Rousseau, and Dupré. His productions affirm that landscape art was not buried when Corot died.” THE BRIDGE AT SAINT PRIVE : 5% THE WILLOW NEAR THE RIVER 68 HENNER (JEAN JACQUES) France Born at Bernwiller, Alsace, 1829.

Studio in Paris. *“No painter since Titian and Correggio had suc- ceeded in securing in the rendition of the nude such charm of color and purity of expression, and he was not long in creating a unique place for himself in his art. His *‘ Susan- nah,’ in 1864, carried the day for him in Paris, and was purchased for the Luxembourg Gallery, of which it is one of the masterpieces. Among his nymphs and magdalens Henner produced also a number of paintings on religious subjects, of a grand style of execution and a noble elevatior of feeling. One of his most original and dignified works of this order is his ‘ John the Baptist,’ the head of the de- -capitated saint being shown on a salver, and being a mas- ‘terly portrait of one of the artist’s friends.” INNOCENCE | 13 HOWE (WILLIAM H.) United States Born at Ravenna, Ohio, 1846. Pupil of Otto von ‘Thoren and Vuillefroy, Paris. One of our best and most widely known cattle painters, William H. Howe was for ‘ten years a successful exhibitor at the Salon, and besides being the recipient of a long list of medals, is a Chevalier of the Legion of Honor. Elected a National Academician, 1897. RETURN FROM PASTURE AT ISRAELS (JOSEF) _ Holland Born at Groningen, North Holland, in 1824. As a ‘boy he wished to be a rabbi, but on leaving school entered his father’s small banking business, and in 1844 went ‘to Amsterdam to study under the fashionable portrait- painter, Jan Kruseman. But it was the ghetto of the city, ‘swarming with life, that affected his imagination. ‘The ‘following year he proceeded to Paris and worked under -Picot and Delaroche, entering the latter’s studio shortly after Millet had left it. Like Millet, he had no inclination “grand painting,” and, though he tried to practise it ‘upon his return home, it was in the little village of Zand- foord, whither he went for his health, that he discovered his true bent. Again, like Millet, he found his inspiration -in the lives of the poor; but, unlike the French master, in- for vests his subjects with intimate peace and lyrical melan- choly, veiling his figures in an exquisite subtlety of sub- _dued atmosphere. Amongst the moderns he is “ one of the: most powerful painters and at the same time a profound. ‘and tender poet.” THE SEAMSTRESS © 49° JACQUE (CHARLES EMILE) — France. Born in 1813, he was by turns a soldier and a map en- graver; later practising engraving upon wood, and etch- ing. In these mediums his first exhibits were made at the Salon, and they received awards in 1851, 1861 and 1863. His influence had much to do with the revival of interest in. the art of etching, and examples of his plates are held in. high esteem by collectors. Meanwhile, from 1845 he had been training himself to paint, although it was not until. 1861 that his pictures received official recognition. His sympathies were with rustic life, and particularly with ani- mals. The pig attracted him as a subject; he not only painted the barn-door fowls, but bred them and wrote a book about them. Yet it is for his representation of sheep: that he is most highly esteemed. His experience with the burin and needle had made him a free and precise draughts- man, while his profound study of animals gave him com- plete mastery over construction and details, as well as the power to represent their character. His fondness for them saves him from any possibility of triviality ; he selects the essentials and fuses them into a dignified unity. His pic- tures have much of the poetry which characterized the Bar- bizon school, and found ready patrons during his life. After his death, which occurred in 1891, the sale of his: studio collection produced the noteworthy return of over 600,000 francs. | THE SHEEPFOLD 22 SHEEP UNDER THE TREES 55) JACQUET (JEAN GUSTAVE) France Born at Paris in 1846, Jacquet has always been a thor- ough Parisian in his art. He commenced to exhibit at the Salon before he was twenty years of age. In 1868 he gained his first medal, and for a period produced pictures of a historical character, the subjects being usually drawn from the past. It was not until his admission into the Le- gion of Honor, in 1879, that he began to give his atten- tion to modern life. THE FIRST VISIT 38 JONGKIND (JOHAN BARTHOLD) Holland Born June 3, 1819, at Yatrop, near Rotterdam; came to France when yet very young, and entered the studio of Eugéne Isabey. For many years his talent was ignored, and the Jury of the Salon ruthlessly rejected his pictures. From 1872 onward Jongkind ceased to exhibit at the Salon, which had always shown itself averse to recognizing his merits, its one and only reward to him being a third-class medal given in 1852. Jongkind lived in retirement at his country retreat Coté St. André (Isére), and here he died, February 9, 1891. “ Like the old Netherlandish EE Jongkind is most at ease in regions connected with humanity. Houses, ships, windmills, streets and villages, market-places, and all spots that have any trace of human labor, are dear to him.”— MouruHer. A DUTCH CANAL i KAEMMERER (FREDERIK HENDRIK) France Born in Ghent, Belgium. He became a pupil of Géréme in Paris, and his pictures, which are strongly in- ‘dividual, were generally painted from motives suggested by Parisian life during the Directory. He has been the recipient of numerous medals. Died in 1901.

A CAT FAMILY 67 i LEADER (BENJAMIN WILLIAM) England Born at Worcester, England, in 1831. He showed early in life a decided talent for painting, and, after some preliminary studies, went to London and entered the schools of the Royal Academy. Figure painting and sculpture alone are taught in this school, but he was not diverted from his purpose to become a landscape painter, and in a short time began to exhibit. His exceptional skill and his choice of subjects soon made him popular, and he has long been a most successful painter of domestic landscapes. He _ was elected an Associate of the Royal Academy in 1883 and a Member in 1896. EVENING ON THE THAMES AT MARGRAVE 14 LEFEBVRE (JULES JOSEPH) Contemporary Lefebvre, “‘ probaby the most pronounced in academic methods ” among contemporary French painters, was born at ‘Tournan, Seine-et-Marne, in 1836. He became a pupil of Léon Cogniet at the Beaux Arts, and made his début at the Salon with a portrait in 1855, since which year he has been a regular contributor. In 1861 he secured the Prix de Rome with a “ Death of Priam,” and five years later a Salon medal for his “‘ Nymph and Bacchus,” which was purchased for the Luxembourg. His long list of hon- ors includes the Grand Prix at the Exposition of 1889. He is a Member of the Institute, a Commander of the Le- gion, and at this last Exposition was Hors Concours. His pictures figure in the Museum of the Luxembourg and in the great galleries of France and foreign countries. PSYCHE 87 LEPINE (J.) France J. Lepine was a native of Caen, and was a pupil of Corot. His works, however, give no indication of the influence of that master, either in style of treatment or selection of subject. He was an able and original artist, and his position in modern French art was amply assured. ST. OUEN 45 LHERMITTE (LEON AUGUSTIN) France _ Born at Mont St. Pére, France, in 1863. Pupil of the Ecole des Beaux Arts and of Lecog de Boisbaudran. Mem- ber of the Legion of Honor. Widely known as designer and draughtsman before he became a painter. Also ex- cels in etching and pastel. Studio in Paris. ** He is the most expert of living charcoal draughtsmen, and as a draughtsman in pastel has no peer. His color grows more forcible and ripe as he gets farther away from his many years’ devotion to graphic art, and as a water colorist and an etcher he has won the highest honors. He adheres to the rustic subjects with which his youth made ‘ him familiar, and it has been said of him that the mantle of Millet could not fall on worthier shoulders.” THE BLAZE OF NOONDAY 78 LINNELL, SR. (JOHN) England Born in London, 1792. He became a pupil of John Varley, but learned more from his fellow-pupil, Mulready, than from his master. His progress was so rapid that in 1807 he contributed to the Academy exhibition “ A Study from Nature” and “A View near Reading.” Like the ablest of his contemporaries, he could paint a panorama. or a miniature, or engrave a portrait. He was the recipient of many honors. In 1852 Linnell retired from London to Redhill, where he died in 1882. . MILKING TIME | AA MADRAZO (RAIMUNDO DE) Spain ' Born in Rome, 1841. First instructed by his father Federico, head of the Spanish Academy in Rome, he after- wards entered the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris, and also studied under Léon Cogniet. In 1878 he was awarded a medal of the first class and the Ribbon of the Legion. A brother-in-law of Fortuny, he exhibits much of the latter’s skill in scintillating color, and can lavish on his pictures a captivating rococo grace, or introduce with taste and deft- ness symphonic schemes of color, as in the “ Girl in Red,” exhibited at Munich in 1883, or in the “ Pierrette ” of the Exposition Universelle of 1889. DRESSING FOR THE BAL MASQUE 28 LA PIERRETTE 56 MARIS (JACOB) Holland Born at The Hague, 1837. Pupil of the local academy, Strébel, Van Hove, De Keyser, Van Lerius and Hébert. Died, 1899. ** Jakob Maris is the second, in point of age, of three brothers distinguished as painters of the modern Dutch school, and the strongest of them. He turned by natural selection to landscape painting, although equally strong in his treatment of the figure, and the works by which he is best known are of the former order of subjects. Jakob Maris worked partly in Brussels and partly at The Hague, but his chief studio and home was at the Belgian capital. His pictures both in character and choice of subject are thoroughly representative of the Netherlands: rivers, canals, quaint villages that doze under the shelter of the earthen ramparts which defend the land from the encroach- ments of the sea; wide reaches of farm and pasture land, spreading under gray and humid skies. ‘They are kept low in tone, and are in the most powerful schemes of subdued color, painted with great breadth and a massive vigor of handling and effect, and rank their creator at the head of the Dutch landscape painters of our time.” LOADING A SAND BARGE 57 MAUVE, ANTON Holland “It was truly said when Anton Mauve died that Hol- land had sustained a national loss. Though comparatively a young man, he had made a powerful impression on the art of his country, and did more than any of his contem- poraries to infuse into the minds of his fellow-artists higher aims, and to lead them toward that close sympathy with nature which was his own inspiration. He loved the Dutch farms, dykes and heaths, and he painted them lovingly and tenderly in a direct, simple way. ‘To him his country was not always dull, gray and damp, as other artists would have us believe. He saw and felt, and shows us, its light and sunshine, too. ‘Through his pictures we may know Hol- land as it is, with its peaceful peasant life in both field and cottage—not that life of hard and hopeless toil that Millet OP ee) Le ee so often painted, but the life of peaceful and contented labor, which, happily, is, after all, the peasant’s more fre- quent lot. ** Mauve was born at Zaandam, September 18, 1838, and died at the house of his brother at Arnheim, February 5, 1888. | _“ Though he was for a short time in the school of P. F. Van Os, he was mainly a self-taught artist. ** His pictures are well known in this country. Less than five years ago the artist’s works were easily obtained and at very moderate prices, while to-day they are both scarce and costly.”—W. Macsreru. GOING TO PASTURE--EARLY MORNING 4.0 RETURNING FROM PASTURE—EVENING 42 MEEKER (J . RUSLING) United States Born in Newark, New Jersey, on the 21st of April, 1827. Landscape painter. Pupil of the National Acad- emy of Design. For some time a resident of St. Louis, where he now has his studio. A SOUTHERN SWAMP 53 MEYER VON BREMEN (JOHANN GEORG) Germany Called, from his birthplace, Meyer von Bremen. Born October 28, 1813. Pupil of Sohn. Member of the Am- sterdam Academy. Gold Medal of Prussia, 1850. Medals at Berlin and Philadelphia. Died in Berlin, 1886. “When young Jean George Meyer emerged from the Diisseldorf Academy in 1842 to install himself in the dig- nity of a studio of his own, it was as a painter of religious works of the largest size that he aspired to fame. It was not long before he discovered that his talent had mistaken its direction. His heart was not in these academic and artificial compositions, while all around him nature—and, above all, human nature—invited him to more congenial fields. So the painter of tradition soon became the painter of fact, and his exquisite little cabinet pictures of domes- tic scenes and homely episodes of every-day life were not long in securing favor.” EXPECTATION 54 MONET (CLAUDE) France ** All his life intolerant of restraint, Monet in his art has been rigidly self-disciplined. As a boy he skipped school on fine days, and as a young man found Gleyre’s _ studio impossible for him; was acquainted with the pictures of the Louvre, but never tried to draw them, and in every way sought to emancipate himself from the traditions of the old masters and the influence of contemporaries. On the other hand, from the day that Boudin directed his at- tention to nature he never deviated from the study of it. ** Monet is a ‘ Parisian from Paris,’ born there March 2, 1840. But five years later his family moved to Havre, where his boyhood was spent. His earliest efforts in draw- ing were caricature portraits, for which, by the time that he was fifteen, he began to find purchasers at prices rang- ing from ten to twenty francs. “In 1865 he exhibited two marines at the Salon, and the following year ‘The Woman in Green,’ which, upon He ee Oe ee ey ee ar eae St Se eh 4 are ee eae ee ee Ps a oe py FE eee the opening day, many took to be a work of Manet’s, con- gratulating the latter, much to his chagrin. This was Mo- net’s last appearance at the Salon. By 1867 his man- ner had shaped itself—it was plem air; but, though he was beginning to experiment with effects of light and color, he had not yet adopted the principle of the subdivision of colors. In 1869 he met Manet, and became one of the group of younger men who gathered round Manet in a café at Batignolles. There he associated also with Degas, Fantin-Latour, Sisley, Renoir, Cezanne, Whistler, Zola, and others, who formed what the members called ‘ l’Ecole 2 99 des Batignolles. SNOW EFFECT 69 MORLAND (GEORGE) England Born in London in 1763. The son of a portrait- painter, he received instruction from his father, studied at the Academy schools, and assiduously copied the Dutch and Flemish pictures. As early as 1779 his sketches were exhibited at the Academy. His pictures, distinguished by truthfulness of representation, skilful technique, and quali- _ ties of color and light, were prized during his own life and are still sought by connoisseurs. Died October 29, 1804 ON THE COAST, ISLE OF WIGHT QT MUNKACSY (MIHALY DE) Austria In 1846 the rude village of Munkacs, in Hungary, was the birthplace of a child of poverty who was christened Michael Lieb. He had no future but one of misery, such as had preceded him in the experience of his progenitors, uso at and he commenced, almost as soon as he could handle a tool, to earn his meagre living as a carpenter’s apprentice. He taught himself to draw, and, in a crude way, to paint. Then a good-natured, poor portrait-painter of Guyla took him up and taught him a little more. From this master he passed into the hands of the Vienna Academy, and, by a supreme effort, finally secured admission into the Munich Ecole des Beaux Arts, where Professor Adam became his friend and instructor. Here the young artist made such strides in advance that he was enabled, by the winning of several prizes, to set himself up at Diisseldorf in 1869 as a painter. The works of Knaus and Vautier inclined him to genre painting, and in 1869 his ‘‘ Last Day of a Con- demned Man” made him famous. His style was so origi- nal and so unlike the conventional methods of German art that it attracted attention in Paris, and in 1872 he was emboldened to settle in that city. He had received a medal at the Salon in 1870, and so was not unknown there. In 1877 he was received into the Legion of Honor, of which he had been an Officer since 1878. Munich and Vienna have - made him a member of their Academies, and the whole world in which art finds patronage has accepted him. His case is an illustration of the triumph of artistic genius over apparently insurmountable difficulties almost unique in the history of modern art. Died May 1, 1900.

Has won considerable reputation as a painter of Dutch coast scenes. IN THE SAND DUNES 34: PASINI (ALBERTO) Spain Among living painters Pasini is unrivalled in his de- lineation of Oriental scenes. He is a native of Busseto, near Parma, and enjoyed the instruction of three great masters. ‘* From Ciceri he acquired his firm draughtsman- - ship, from Isabey his color and bold and fluent execution of the brush, and from Rousseau the deep feeling and sentiment of landscape.” For he is a master of landscape, and introduces into them such animated groups and figures that they become, as well, charming examples of genre. It was his good fortune to visit the Orient early in his artistic career, and during several years’ residence in Turkey, Arabia and Persia he accumulated a vast store of impres- sions, and thoroughly absorbed the color, atmosphere and animation of the East. He is an honorary professor of the Academies of Parma and Turin, a medallist at the great exhibitions, and since 1878 an Officer of the Legion of Honor. THE DESPATCH BEARER 7 PEARCE (CHARLES SPRAGUE) United States Was born in Boston, Massachusetts, in 1851. He studied in Paris under Bonnat, and has resided in France for many years, painting genre subjects which have met with much popular appreciation. Medal of Paris Salon, 1883.

Medals: Third Class, 1875; Second Class, 1883. HOUNDS IN LEASH 51 RENOIR (AUGUSTE) France Renoir, who was born in 1840, early determined to be- come a painter, and, as his parents were not rich, he worked in a porcelain factory in his native town of Limoges, painted pictures in the cafés, and sold little subjects to the stores, until he had gained sufficient to enable him to study in Paris. Arriving there in 1860, at the age of nineteen, he entered the studio of Gleyre, having Sisley and Bazille as fellow-pupils, and remained for four years, until, at Monet’s prompting, they all abandoned it. During this time he was seen at the Salon in a portrait of Sisley’s father, which procured him several other commissions. He was working then in an ultra-romantic vein, scoring his first success at the Salon with a picture entitled ‘“‘ Esmeralda.” Before the beginning of hostilities in 1870 he shared a studio with Bazille, whose death during the war cut short a career of great promise. Meanwhile, since leaving the studio of Gleyre in 1864, he had been the intimate of Monet, and the two friends, under each other’s inspiration, made rapid progress. In 1868 he exhibited at the Salon “‘'The Woman in White,” which showed a tendency to- wards his new style of painting; timid enough, yet at the period sufficient to arouse hostility and to secure his ex- clusion from the Salon until 1880, when his “ Portrait of Madame Charpentier ” was accepted. But long before this he had ceased to concern himself with official honors. THE BATHER . 31 RICO (MARTIN) Spain A native of Madrid, he received his first lessons in drawing from a cavalry captain, and then passed to the Madrid Academy, gaining a living in the imtervals of study by drawing, and engraving on wood. During the summers he would wander off on foot into the country con- sorting with gypsies and herdsmen; living a free, happy existence, and laying by a store of memories. He won the Spanish Prix de Rome, never before awarded for excellence in landscape, and chose Paris for his place of study in preference to Rome. Here he was kindly received by his countryman Zamacois, who introduced him to Daubigny and Meissonier. Later he became the intimate friend of Fortuny, with whom he spent much time in Italy. In 1878 he was awarded the Cross of the Legion of Honor. A SIDE CANAL IN VENICE 4 . San ee + eae a = | a a a UR hd Sek ea ea ie.

He had an early taste for mathe-_ matics, and is said to have intended to become a pupil of the Polytechnique, but entered instead the studio of Le- thiére. Failing to secure the Prix de Rome, he repaired to the Plain of Montmartre, and his first picture, exhibited in 1826, “ The Telegraph Tower,” proclaims his nature study. In 1833 he made his first visit to Fontainebleau, and the following year painted his first masterpiece, ** Cétés de Grandville.” He received a third-class medal at the Salon, but for the following fourteen years was re- jected from the exhibitions. Even after the Revolution of 1848 his green pictures were hailed as “ spinach,” and it was not until the Exposition of 1855 that the world acknowledged him as belonging to the class of Ruysdael, Hobbema and Constable. Huis last years were darkened by domestic calamity. He had married a young woman of the Forest, and when she was seized with madness, he spent — his strength in tending her. When finally the officership of the Legion, which was his due for serving as President of the Jury at the Exposition of 1867, was denied him, he succumbed to the bitterness of his chagrin. He les buried near Millet, in the churchyard of Chailly. LANDSCAPE 30 eee SCHAEFER (H. THOMAS) | Germany A German artist, who for many years had a studio in London. His genre pictures have won him considerable reputation. ROMAN MAIDENS 81 SCHREYER (ADOLF) Germany There is no suggestion of the German in the art of Schreyer, yet it was in that most German of cities, Frank- fort-on-Main, that he was born in 1828. He travelled much, and painted as he went. In 1855, when his friend, Prince Taxis, went into the Crimea, he accompanied the prince’s regiment, and at this period he began producing those battle scenes which gave him his first fame. Wan- derings in Algiers and along the North African coasts into Asia Minor resulted in those pictures of Arab life which are so popular, while visits to the estates of his family and his friends in Wallachia provided him with another of his familiar classes of subjects. Until 1870 Schreyer was a resident of Paris, but since that time he divided his life between that city and his estate at Krom- berg, near Frankfort, where he lived surrounded by his horses and hounds, practising his art with an energy that advancing years was unable to impair., He was invested with the Order of Leopold in 1860, received the appoint- ment of court painter to the Duke of Mecklenburg in 1862, is a member of the academies of Antwerp and Rotterdam, and received first medals at all the important European expositions between 1863 and 1876. Died 1899. TRAVELLING IN RUSSIA 64 and so the young decorator and the elder artist were fre- quently in contact. The constant sermon of Troyon was that the gifted youth should go to nature, and Van Marcke, in the time spared from his trade, obeyed the in- junction. Van Marcke’s early pictures betray strongly the feeling and influence of Troyon. While more care- ful in drawing and more elaborate in detail, their color and technique show the association of the master. But with increasing confidence and experience, Van Marcke created a style with which he is now thoroughly identified. He was a master draughtsman, equally a master of compo- sition, and the grouping and modelling of his cattle are always pictorial and true. His landscapes are of an equal degree of excellence, and are replete with the charm of a joyous and smiling nature. Effects of midsummer mid- day and of showery skies over pastures enriched by a humid soil find particularly happy rendition at his hands. Van Marcke appeared first at the Salon in 1857, and was repeatedly medalled in 1867, 1869, 1870, and at the Ex- position Universelle of 1878 he received a medal of the first. class. He was invested with the Legion of Honor in 1872, and since then he received many additional medals of honor. Died January 7, 1891. RETURN FROM PASTURE 73 VIBERT (JEHAN GEORGES) France One of the strongest individualities among the artists of Paris is Vibert. He was not only a painter, but a sat- irist of drastic power and an author of pointed excellence. A Parisian by birth, and if he may be said to be a pupil of any one, his master must be considered to be Barrias, although he also did some early work under Picot. He first exhibited at the Salon of 1863, and made a virtual failure. His active intelligence gave a new direction to his art, and seven years later, at the age of thirty, he was decorated with the Cross of the Legion for his “ Roll Call after the Pillage.” His good-humored satires on the hy- pocrisy and self-indulgence of monkish and ecclesiastical life did much toward advancing him in popularity, and one of the latter, *‘ The Missionary’s Story,” may be recalled as having been sold in this city, at the sale of Mrs. Morgan’s _ collection in 1886, for $25,000. Vibert was not content with triumphs in oil alone, but, spurred by the exploits of Fortuny in water color, he began in it a series of experi- ments that have placed him among the first aquarellists of the world. He was the leader in the movement that resulted in the formation of the now powerful Society of French Water Colorists, a society that, by its lofty standard, really forced the Salon into a marked reform in the character, and improvement in the quality, of the pictures it accepted for exhibition. Died July 28, 1902.
