He explores Nature in her most secret traits, in order to seize upon what is characteristic in essence, form, and color. In his manipulation, as regards the quality and texture of various materials, he is eminently successful, discriminating all to the exact point of requirement, yet without the slightest tendency to elab- orate trifling ; the general effect, prevailing over all minuteness and ele- gance of detail, being that of a bold and free handling.”—Hunry OTTLEY.

Member of the Academy at Berlin and Knight of the Order of Merit. Died, 1881. “. , . . A painter vigorous, truth-telling, and naturalistic as Lessing, might reasonably be supposed to find delightin Nature’s ways. Lessing, indeed, has been deemed by some persons greater as the painter of land- | scape than history. All the landscapes I have seen by Lessing have been accentuated with predetermined purpose. The fixed and the forcible in- tent manifest in the artist’s historical compositions speaks out no less decisively and intelligibly in his portraiture of inanimate Nature, which thus becomes, as it were, vocal under his touch.” —J.

Perfection in art of any kind is so rare that when we meet with it we are sure to take notice of it ; and, though Meissonier’s pictures are very small, they are not likely to be passed over in the most crowded exhibitions . . . his keen observa- tion and ready, accurate hand, have made him king of his own realm in art, and his work, I suppose, will never diminish in money value, because such work must always be excessively rare.”’—Hamerton, Contemporary French Painters. “This eminent artist has employed in his gezre painting all the serious qualities of grand painting.

In his whole ar- tistic career Millet only finished about eighty oil paintings, many pe at THE SENEY COLLECTION. of which he retained in his studio for a long time, returning to them again and again, in order to satisfy himself. ** Certainly the French school has never produced another artist with such thorough devotion to nature, or one who has sotruthfully rendered scenes and emotions of natural life. The secret of his success was his power in reaching the hearts of men. He painted what he had known and loved.” —H. Watts, London Times. ‘““He understands the inward poesy of the fields, he loves the peasants whom he represents, and in their resigned figures expresses his sympathy for them.

Diploma to the memory of Deceased Artists, 1868. ‘* Théodore Rousseau has been for twenty-five years the first apostle of truth in landscape. He made a breach in the wall of the historic school, INDEX AND BIOGRAPHICAL NOTES. 43 which had lost the habit of regarding Nature, and servilely copied the bad copyists of Poussin. He emancipated the landscape painters as Moses formerly ltberated the Hebrews. He led them into a land of promise where the trees had leaves, where the rivers were liquid, where the men and animals were not of wood. . . . His incontestable talent was contested by all the world. It is only to-day that his reputation is made.’’—Epmonp Asout, Our Artists in the Salon (1857). ‘* His color is direct and powerful ; his sunlight glowing and actual ; his detail the most complete, I think, that has ever been combined with the necessary breadth of handling and unity of effect. The range of his sympathies was immense. He was the Shakespeare of landscape art, and ‘took all Nature for his province.’ It 1s more difficult to say of him than of any of his fellows what was his characteristic mood, what his favorite kind of subject. He is ever surprising us with new revelations, ever showing new phases of Nature, ever revealing new emotions of his own.” —Mrs. SCHUYLER VAN RENSSELAER.

Belonging to a distin- guished family, this artist enjoyed every advantage of travel and instruction. In 1855 he followed the regiment commanded by Prince Taxis to the Crimea, making many spirited studies. Medals, Paris, 1864—1865—1867 (Exposition Universelle); Brus- sels Exposition, 1863, and Vienna Exposition, 1873. Cross of the Order of Leopold, 1864. In 1862 he was made Painter to the Court of the Grand Duke of Mecklenbourg-Schwerin. Mem- ber of the Academies of Antwerp and Rotterdam, and Honorary Member of the Deutsches Nochstift. ‘* Schreyer joins to a grand and bold conception a profoundly poetic sen- timent. His manner, as well as his talent, has two natures. It recalls INDEX AND BIOGRAPHICAL NOTES. 45 both Delacroix and Fromentin. His color is a happy mingling of the dreamy tones of the one and the powerful colors of the other ; and one should, above all, admire it for the incontestable originality manifested in this mingling.” —Courder Artistigue, Paris.

The day is over, and a few women in the severe dress of Picardy have joined each other in this barren tract where the herbage is interspersed with rocks, to chat and knit. Four of them, standing in the middle of the picture, form a pictu- resque group. One of them, young, and very pretty under her white bonnet, with lifted head and steady gaze, and an indescribable look of sadness in her eyes, is watching one of her companions and a handsome youth who are lean- ing against a wall and talking tenderly, in the left of the composition. She continues her work mechanically, but is so engrossed in thought that she does not observe her mother, who is looking at her with a questioning and anxious look. . . . There isa whole drama here which explains itself in the clear- est and most delicate manner. One feels all that is going on in the breast of the young girl and of the mother, who suffers with her child. The whole pict- ure is cast in this double mould. With his usual skill, M. Bréton has complet- ed his compostion by minor subjects—not only by these old women on the right (one of whom, bent by work, 1s an excellent type), who form a group corre- sponding to that of the lovers, but also by the domestic animals roaming about for food, and by two cats in the foreground that have recognized each other. I do not believe M. Bréton has ever produced anything stronger ; anything which is more deeply appreciated, more generally observed and better 112 THE SENEY COLLECTION. balanced (from a composition point of view), better drawn,and executed with greater power and personality. . . . He has introduced action into this _composition—psychological and moral action it is true, but which gives his work stronger character and greater interest. . . . Really Ido not see what 2. one could find to criticise in this beautiful work. It is one of those which will endure and do the greatest honor to our school.—CuarLes CLEMENT, Yournal des Débats, Paris, 1882. ““One must stop here for a long time. It is, beyond all question, the first among Bréton’s works. It is even the first in the Sa/on according to our opin- ion, which we have the pleasure of seeing shared by many.” —Jacquzs RosiEr, L’ Electeur Republicain, Paris, 1882. ‘ N. V.
