Hieh Class Paintings, MOSTLY OF THE MODERN FRENCH SCHOOL, AND PARTICULARLY EMBRACING THE ARTISTIC WORKS OF THE CLASSIC MASTERS OF FRENCH ART. TO BE SOLD BY AUCTION, AT MOORE’S ART GALLERIES, 290 FIFTH AVENUE, TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY, Nov. 16, 17 AND 18, AT EIGHT o’CLOCK EACH EVENING, . a A } ae ae y WILLIAM P. MOORE, AUCTIONEER. a) T has been my desire to place before the American iy Yeas 4%| people a historical collection of pictures by the French e733) artists of the nineteenth century. As with great au- thors in literature, so in art it takes more than a generation, even with the rapidity of developement of modern ideas, to settle the comparative merit of great artists. Inquiring of an old dealer for something of Hazlitt’s,—“ Hazlitt!” said he, “ don’t talk to me of him. Fifty years ago my shelves were full of them, and the only use I could put them to was kindling fires. I could get five guineas apiece for them now.” A picture dealer told Richard Wilson, “See here, Dick, I would like to patronize you, but my garret is full o’ them.” So it is, and has been with serious art. My collection, commencing with David, the stern and severe reformer of art, as he called himself, down through Gros, Delacroix, Gericault, Horace Vernet, Paul Delaroche, Conture, Troyon, Millet, Diaz, Rousseau, Corot, Daubigny,—has led me wherever I could get an interesting and worthy example of any of this race of giants. Of the collection, let art connoisseurs and lovers of art judge for themselves. Most respectfully, THOMAS ROBINSON. a aed n ARTISTS REPRESENTED AND NUMBER OF EXAMPLES OF EACH.
