COLLECTION OF LANDSCAPES

ADRIEN SCHULZ
OF PARIS we PT
Adrien Schulz is considered to-day one of the great
landscape painters; his works show many of the
characteristic qualities of Diaz and Hanoteau,
whose pupil he was, and are worthy to be com-
pared with theirs
They are proof of a direct and intimate study from
nature and give an impression of freshness, of
pure atmosphere
Adrien Schulz, who exhibits in the Salon, is repre-
sented in many Art Museums of France, and
in numerous private collections

became a pupil of the Royal Academy in 1799.
Later, he studied with Joseph Farrington and
R. R. Reinagle. After painting portraits and his-
torical pictures for some time, he turned to land-
scape art as his real vocation and exhibited his
first picture in 1802. He was elected Associate
of the Royal Academy in 1819 and Royal Acade-
mician in 1829. He found early recognition in
France, where, among all British painters, he was
the first whose works found high esteem. His
influence had much to do with the evolution and
growth of the ‘Barbizon School” of painting.
When his ‘‘ Haywain” was shown in Paris, in
1825, Constable was awarded by the King a gold
medal as a tribute of the appreciation in which it
was held

The picture illustrates the following passage of
Exodus xvii. 8-13:
8. Then came Amalek, and fought with Israel in
Rephidim
g. And Moses said unto Joshua: Choose us out men,
and go out, fight with Amalek; to-morrow I will
stand on the top of the hill, with the rod of God
in mine hand
10. So Joshua did as Moses had said to him, and
fought with Amalek; and Moses, Amron and Hur
went up to the top of the hill
11. And it came to pass, when Moses held up his
hands that Israel prevailed, and when he let down
his hands Amalek prevailed
12. But Moses’ hands were heavy; and they took a
stone, and put it under him, and he sat thereon,
and Amron and Hur stayed up his hands, the one
on the one side, and the other on the other side;
and his hands were steady until the going down
of the sun
And Joshua discomfited Amalek and his people
with the edge of the sword
Dated 1656 and signed at the right, on the saddle

Adrien Schulz is considered to-day one of the great
landscape painters; his works show many of the
characteristic qualities of Diaz and Hanoteau,
whose pupil he was, and are worthy to be com-
pared with theirs
They are proof of a direct and intimate study from
nature and give an impression of freshness, of
pure atmosphere
Adrien Schulz, who exhibits in the Salon, is repre-
sented in many Art Museums of France, and in

by auction at the Waldorf-Astoria of
Brandus paintings. It was a fabulous
(Success. The prices were exorbitant.
Gerome’s ‘‘Louis XIV. and Madame de
Maintenon in the Park of Versailles’
‘b rought $3,600. Its price at the Tyner sale
pa February, 1901, was $1,600. But then
its moon had been effaced, its play of con-
sie lights was not clear. It was fas-
tidious and vain. Gerome replaced the
“moon and the play of lights.
| It was a beautiful work last evening. It
|might have been, and was not to the buy-
ers, the most attractive of the sixty-nine
_ |mumbers of the catalogue. They brought
$181, 620. This sum, added to that of the
‘two previous evenings’ sales, which was
‘$73,515, makes $205,135, the total amount
of the collection’s sale.. It is much larger
‘than it was expected to be. The art deal-
‘ers said that the business of art had been
‘bad. They were astounded last evening.
The highest price, $8,400, paid for Diaz's.

Dear Miss Klumpke:
We had recently brought into us a paint-
ing signed in full "Rosa Bonheur," which we think
is No. 634 of the catalogue of the sale, "Shepherd
with his flock of sheep in the field,” canvas 24,8
inches by 39.4 inches, which brought 340 franes,.
fhe picture did not look good to us. I am sorry I
ATS pe eee Gannot send you a photograph of it. Do you by
Beas Ky": chance remember anything about it? It struck me
bilge: as being greatly repainted.
I am enclosing a small check for your
hospital, with our best wishes for its success,
Hoping you are in the best of health,
believe me,
Sincerely yours,

HOPITAL ROSA BONHEUR,
By Thomery, 5. & M.
19 Sept., 1916,
Dear Mr. Knoedler:=
The article which appeared in the New York Times, I mean the
reproduction of a group of our wounded French soldiers, was much ap-
preciated.
The soldiers were glad to know the Rosa Bonheur hospital is a
formation of importance. We in my family are defraying all expenses
with occasional gifte from my American Friends,
Our wounded half paralyzed brave heroes are being much benefitted
by their long satay at By.
Good air, plenty to eat, although food stuff is often difficult to
secure, and out of door exercise, help to regain strength and health.
Two of our wounded soldiers have returned to their wife and children. .
I am sending (3) photographs of* the picture No, 634 companition ‘by
our dear great artist friend Rosa Bonheur,
It was sold in this condition at. auction at the Georges Petit caliery, :
May, 1900, Paris,
I trust this will give you all satisfaction in regard to any modi ficat-
fons being added to the unfinished picture,
You remember we had the entire collection photographed at my own ex-
pense, reserving all rights of reproduction thereon,
It is a most valuable collection, and will remain a safeguard to Rosa
Bonheur's reputation,
Hoping these lines will reach you soon, and with my best remembrances
to Mre. Knoedler,
Yours sincerely,
(Signed) Anna E. Klumpke,
G o.2.
November ist, 1918.
Dear Miss Klumpke,
Your favor of the 19th of Sept. with
photos of the Rosa Bonheur came duly to hand
and the photos were just what I wanted. They
confirmed beyond a doubt that some one had
finished the picture No. 634 of the sale and
contirmed what I said when | saw it that it
had not been painted as it was by the great
artist. The person to whom [I said this had
bought the picture but was fortunate enough in
having his purchase price refunded. What has
become of the picture I do not know nor can [I
imagine who modified it to look like a complete
finished work by the Master.
I hope your hospital will continue
to prosper. It is a great thing to have
charitable people look after the suffering
heroes and taking good care of them.
I understand our American boys have
accomplished wonders--they are brave and mag-
nificent fighters--over here we all think
that the end of the War is not far off.
My wife joins me in kindest rememn-
brances,.
Sineerely,
(STGNED) Roland F. Knoedler.
