The changes in the arrangement of some of the Galleries of the Paintings — looking toward a more sequent and comprehensive grouping of the pictures — are proceeding as rapidly as circumstances permit. Owing to the removal of some of the numbered paintings from one gallery to another (since the pub- lication of this catalogue), it is advisable to find the artist’s name upon the label on the frame, then to turn to the alphabetically arranged section of the catalogue. The paintings not numbered are those acquired since October, 1905. These are catalogued in the Monthly Addenda following page 194. Note Finding List preceding the Monthly Addenda. In this Issue of the 1905 Catalogue, the lists on pages xi-xix have not been changed. Beginning March 16th, 1907, the Museum was opened on Saturdays from 10 o’clock A.M. until 10 o’clock P.M., instead of Mondays and Fridays from 8 to 10 P.M.

The Artists' names attached to donations and loans are, as a rule, those given by the donors or lenders. As a rule pictures which are lent are not described. in The Metropolitan Museum of Art is a private corporation, managed and controlled by a Board of Trustees, chosen from its members. At a public meeting, held on the 23rd day of November, 1869, a Provisional Committee of Fifty cultured and public-spirited citizens were appointed to organize the Association. On the 31st day of January, 1870, at a meeting of this Com- mittee, the Officers and Trustees were elected, consisting of a President (John Taylor Johnston), two Vice-Presidents, a Treas- urer, Secretary and twenty-one Trustees. On the 13th day of April, 1870, a Charter was granted by the Legislature of the State of New York, and at a meeting of the Trustees, held on April 27th, 1870, a Constitution was adopted. Soon after, negotiations were entered into which consummated in the purchase of a collection of pictures, consisting chiefly of specimens of the Dutch and Flemish Schools, but containing also important works of Italian, French, Spanish and English masters. It became necessary to make immediate preparation for the custody and exhibition of these paintings. The Trustees took accordingly a lease for two years from May, 1871, of the building known as No. 681 Fifth Avenue, which, although too small for their purpose, was the most available habitation they could find. In 1872, The Metropolitan Museum of Art was removed from its temporary quarters at 681 Fifth Avenue to 128 West Fourteenth Street. This large, double house, known as the Cruger Mansion, was leased for a number of years by the Trustees. The greenhouses and conservatories were fitted up for the exhibition of sculptures, and in one of its courtyards the Trustees built a picture-gallery. This gallery, lighted from the roof, had five times as much wall space as the old quarters on Fifth Avenue, and enabled the Trus- tees to extend the interest of the Museum by loan exhibitions of paintings, and the display of the Cesnola Collection of antiquities from Cyprus, a portion of which had already arrived in this coun- try. The Museum remained in this building until the last days of 1879, and was daily open to the public from 10 o’clock a.m. until 6 o’clock p.m. On the 5th of April, 1871, the State Legislature, at the request of the Municipal Authorities of this City, passed an act appropriat ing the sum of $500,000, with which to erect a building in the Cen* tral Park, “ for the purpose of establishing and maintaining therein a Museum and Gallery of Art.” On April 22d, 1876, the Legislature authorized and directed the Department of Public Parks to make and enter into a contract with The Metropolitan Museum of Art, for the occupation by it of the building which was then being erected, and such other additions as may be made to it from time to time. On the 24th day of December, 1878, the Park Department exe- cuted a written agreement with The Metropolitan Museum of Art, by virtue of which the Trustees took possession of the building in Central Park, which was then finished ; and during the year 1879 all the collections of the Museum were removed from the building on Pourteenth Street and transferred to their new home in Cen- tral Park. Up to this date the Museum was managed, and its work done, by different Committees of Trustees; but it now became evi- dent that the daily work had grown far beyond the possibility of being managed through the personal supervision of committees, and in 1879, General Louis Palma di Cesnola, who was then Secretary of the Board, was chosen Director and placed in charge of the Mu- seum, in which capacity he remained until his death (November 20th, 1904). The new building in Central Park was formally inaugurated by President Hayes, on March 30th, 1880. The first exhibition of the Catharine Lorillard Wolfe Collection took place in one of the old Eastern galleries. Soon after it was found necessary to add two wings: the South and the North. The first was inaugurated December 18th, 1888; the second, November 4th, 1894; in both cases with appropriate ceremonies. Plans were then formed by President Henry G. Marquand, General di Cesnola, and the Board of Trustees, and designs made by the architect, Richard M. Hunt, for the creation of a new building which would more appropriately house the art treasures confided to their care, and the City promptly made the necessary appropria- tion of one million two hundred thousand dollars for immediate ^se in the furtherance of the project. On December 22d, 1902, the center portion of the east front of this new building was completed and formally placed in the hands of the Trustees by the Mayor, the Hon. Seth Low, and the doors were then opened to the public. In 1904 the City made another appropriation of one million two hun- dred and fifty thousand dollars for extending the new building down Fifth Avenue about three hundred and fifty feet, the working plans vi for which are now being perfected by the architects, McKim, Mead & White, and the construction will be commenced at as early a date as is practicable. The building is of light gray stone, classical in design, and will, when completed, form a hollow square with the old structures enclosed in a grand court. The estimate of the total cost is twenty- two million dollars. The chair of the President, made vacant by the death of Mr. Henry G. Marquand on February 26th, 1902, was filled by Mr. F, W. Rhinelander, who died September 24th, 1904. On November 21st, 1904, Mr. J. Pierpont Morgan was unanimously elected Presi- dent, and on January 21st, 1905, Sir Caspar Purdon Clarke was elected Director, of the Museum. The Board of Trustees have absolute control of all the funds donated and bequeathed to the Institution for its enrichment, and such other funds as are or may be appropriated by the City for its maintenance. H« * * * * * * This hand-book embraces all the pictures which are con- tained in the galleries, staircases, and the Grand Hall. Of the pictures herein catalogued, some are lent, a large num- ber have been purchased by the Trustees, and the others have been acquired either by gift or bequest. The larger portion of them are accompanied by conditions which render impossible a proper classification of the pictures in the galleries of the Museum, and, while the Trustees fully recognize the logical, historical and aesthetic reasons for such a classification of their exhibits, they do not think it of greater moment (at least for the present) than their acquisition. Miss Catharine Lorillard Wolfe bequeathed in 1887 her entire collection of oil paintings and water-color drawings to the Museum, accompanied by an endowment of $200,000. The income of this fund to be used for the preservation and increase of the collection, which by the terms of the will must be kept together or be forfeited to the legal heirs of the donor. Other donations and bequests of great value, both in objects of art and money, have from time to time augmented the wealth and the treasures of the Museum: the first being the munificent gift of Mr. Henry G. Marquand, embracing 53 oil paintings by Old Masters, and pictures of the English School; the last, in impor- tance, that of Mr. Jacob S. Rogers, who at his death (July, 1901) bequeathed to the Institution his whole fortune, amounting to several millions of dollars. X Vll The 44 Horse Fair,” by Eosa Bonheur, was given by Mr. Cornelius Vanderbilt; then followed the gifts of Judge Henry Hilton, “Friedland, 1807,” by Meissonier, and the “ Defense of Champigny,” by Detaille. Mr. George I. Seney also gave twenty oil paintings, containing valuable examples of the Mod- ern Dutch, French, and other Schools. “A Quartette,” by Will- iam T. Dannat, was the gift of Mrs. Wm. H. Dannat. The Museum contains examples of nearly all the leading and world-famed schools of paintings, from Jan Van Eyck (1390-1440) to the latest and most interesting of the modern painters. In Gallery Ho. 11 may be seen the first acquisition of the Museum by purchase, in 1871, a collection of pictures comprised of works by the early Dutch and Flemish painters. In the southeast staircase there is a group of eight pictures of the Kenaissance period, purchased at Florence, and given to the Museum by Mr. Cornelius Vanderbilt in 1880. Gallery Ho. 15 is occupied with pictures from the collection of Mr. George A. Hearn, twenty-four of which he has given to the the Museum. A remarkable work by Eugene Delacroix, 44 L’Enl&vement de Bebecca,” has been added to the Catharine Lorillard Wolfe Collec- tion, also a landscape by Kousseau and 4 4 Boats on the Shore,” by Daubigny. And “ The Whale Ship,” by Joseph Mallord William Turner. 44 The Portrait of the Princesse de Conde,” by Jean Marc Hattier, 44 Marie Marguerite Lambert de Thorigny,” by Hicolas de Largillierre, and 44 The Emperor Joseph II. of Austria,” by FranQois Hubert Drouais an&. “Volupte,” by Jean Baptiste Greuze, were purchased by the Museum, and have been placed in Gallery Ho. 19. Among the most recent acquisitions by gift and bequest are: 44 Washington Crossing the Delaware,” by Emanuel Leutze, gift of Mr. John S. Kennedy; 44 Portrait of George Washington,” by Charles Wilson Peale, gift of Mr. C. P. Huntington; Portrait of President Henry G. Marquand, by John S. Sargent, given by the Trustees of the Museum; 44 The Grand Canal at Venice,” by J. M. W.

The most important loan in the year 1902 was that of Mr. George W. Vanderbilt, who lent for one year one hundred and thirty-five pictures from the collection formed by his father, Mr. William H. Vanderbilt. The term of this loan has now been extended in- definitely. All the paintings in Galleries Nos. 11, 13, 14, 17, 18, 20 and 21, including those in the staircases, are the property of the Museum, as well as a large number of those in Galleries Nos. 12, 15, 19 and 25. * * * * * * * The biographical matter has been obtained through an extensive and exhaustive correspondence with all the living, and with the relatives, intimate friends and pupils of the deceased artists, who are represented in the Museum; and also from the most recent and authoritative encyclopedias, biographies and continental Museums Catalogues. to Cfloamed of the Cfztidtd (Shzono logically CLzzancjed, and, cfc/ioold tn AMERICAN SCHOOL PRATT, Matthew 1734, 1805 WEST, Benjamin 1738 , 1820 PEALE, Charles Wilson 1741, 1827 STUART, Gilbert 1755, 1828 TRUMBULL, Colonel John 1756, 1843 VANDERLYN, John 1776, 1852 PEALE, Rembrandt 1778, 1860 ALLSTON.

Son of a silk merchant. Hia father desired to bring him up to his own profession, but his decided art genius so asserted itself that he was placed in the academy of Denys Calvaert, where Guido Reni was a pupil. Albani and Guido became friends, and when the latter went to Rome and entered the school of Carracci, Albani quickly fol- lowed. When Annibale Carracci was employed on the frescos of St. Giacomo degli Spagnuoli he fell sick, and by his recommendation Albani was selected to finish them. He also painted the mythological frescos in the Verospi (now Torlonia) Palace. In the Borghese Gallery and at Turin are his famous pictures of the “Four Elements.” He also painted for the Duke of Mantua the stories of “Diana and Action” and “Venus and Cupid.” His best pictures are those of mythological and fanciful subjects. 63 CHILDREN'S GAMES— THE MAZE, KITE, ETC.

ALLEGRI, Antonio (called II Correggio) ( ?). Parmesan School. Born at Correggio in 1494 ; died there, March 5, 1534. Son of Pel- legrino Allegri. Probably pupil of his father’s brother, Lorenzo, and of Antonio Bartolotti, both second-rate painters of his native town. At Modena he is said to have found a better master in Francesco Bianchi, called Ferrari, who belonged to the school of Francia; but as Bianchi died in 1510, this, like all that concerns Correggio’s training, is uncertain. “Correggio looked at the world in a single mood of sensuous joy,” as a place in which every- thing is full of happy life and soft pleasure. A poetic ideality untrammeled by the conventionality of schools, systems, or methods other than his own, found fullest expression in an all-pervading sweetness which charac- terizes his works. “The Madonna of St. Francis” (1514), “Madonna of St. George,” “Madonna of St. Sebastian,” “LaNotte” (1522 or 1528), Dresden Gallery; “Rape of Ganymede,” “Jupiter and Io,” Vienna Museum; “Madonna Adoring Jesus,” Uffizi, Florence; “Marriage of St. Catherine,” Louvre, Paris. Other works may be seen in St. Petersburg, London, Naples, Venice, and other Galleries, notably that of Parma. 2 2 1 HEAD OF A CHERUB, AND ANGEL.

Bom at Soffignano, near Prato, 1475; died at Florence, 1517. He was a pupil of Cosimo Rosselli in Florence, and lived near the gate of St Piero, from which circumstance was derived his name of della Porta. He was the intimate friend of Mariotto Albertinelli. He had acquired great fame for the beauty of his Madonnas, and had been commissioned to execute a fresco of the “ Last Judgment” in the Convent of St. Marco, about the time when Savonarola went to Florence to preach against the sinfulness of the city. Bartolommeo became the earnest friend of the preacher, and was so carried away by his influence that he burned all his studies and drawings of profane subjects and those which represented nude figures. When Savonarola was seized, tortured, and burned, Bartolommeo took the vows of a Dominican friar, and left the unfinished pictures to be completed by Albertinelli. During four years he led a most austere life, never touching his pencil. About this time Raphael arrived in Florence. He was but twenty-one, but already a great painter. He visited the friar’s cell, and a deep friendship between the two was the consequence. To this we owe the after works of Fra Barto- lommeo. About 1513 he visited Rome. After his return to Florence he executed the “Madonna della Misericordia,” now at Lucca, and the “St. Mark,” which is in the Pitti Palace. His boy angels are beautifully painted. His works are seen in the Louvre, Vienna Gallery, and the Berlin Museum, but he is best studied in Florence. 20 THE VIRGIN AND CHILD ( School of Fra Bartolommeo) The Virgin full-length, seated, holding the Divine Infant in her arms, is dad in a dull-red dress with green drapery folded loosely about her figure.

Justinian I (Flavius Anicius Justinianus) , surnamed the Great, a Byzan- tine Emperor, born at Tauresium, a village near Sardica (now Sophia), in Bulgaria, in 482 or 483 ; died, 565. He was the son of a poor barbarian family, but his elevation was promoted by his uncle, Justin I, who, shortly before his death in 527, adopted him as Co-Emperor. The political events of his reign may be summed up in the wars of Belisarius and the eunuch Narses, who obtained successes over the Persians in the East, and the Vandals and Goths in Italy, and in the terrible sedition which broke out at Constantinople in 532. The glory of his reign is the famous digest of Roman law, known generally as the Justinian Code , which was compiled out of the Gregorian, Theodosian, and Hermogenian codes, by the ablest lawyers of the empire, under the genius of the jurisconsult, Tribonian. Their labors consist — I, of the “Statute Law,” or Justinian Code, properly so called. II, “The Pandects,” a digest of the decisions and opinions of former magistrates and lawyers. These two com- pilations consisted of matter that lay scattered through more than two thou- sand volumes, now reduced to fifty. Ill, “The Institutes,” an abridgment in four books, containing the substance of all the laws in elementary form. IV, The laws of modem date, including Justinian’s own edicts, collected into one volume and called, “The New Code.” These labors, which a Caesar had not been able to accomplish, were completed by the year 541. Besides this important work of imperial reform, Justinian was a great builder and engineer, and works of public utility were kept constantly in progress in all parts of the empire. He was remarkable for his temperance and chastity, and not less for his great learning and diligent application to the duties of his high office. Gift of Mr. G. Mannheimer, 1890.

Son of Pieter Klaasze. The reason for his being called Berchem, or Berghem, is not known, but he usually signed his works by that name. He studied with his father, Van Goyen, J. B. Weenix, and Jan Wils, and married the daughter of the latter. It is evident from his works that he went to Italy, although no account of his having done so is given. He painted genre, battles, landscapes, cattle, and portraits. His best works are his small landscapes with figures and cattle. Berchem is the most celebrated of the group of painters to which he belongs. 7 Smith describes 417 of his works, and he left besides more than fifty etchings. The galleries of Munich, Dresden, Vienna, Berlin, St. Petersburg, and the Louvre contain the largest number of his works. Some are also in England, in the National Gallery, and at Dulwich, and Lord Ashburton has one of his best productions, called “Le Fagot.” He seldom made large pictures. 41 REST.

When the brilliant procession arrived at the gate ‘El Azale,’ the soldiers cried ‘Treason!’ as they saw each house filled with Albanians, armed with long guns. The Mamelukes, sur- rounded by impassable walls, fell like ripe corn, under a hail of bullets, a con- fused mass of men and beasts; the horses, neighing in their fright, bounded through pools of blood over the bodies of the wounded, while the conquerors of a hundred battles, now conquered, shook their clenched fists at the terrible walls. Death passed over them like a whirlwind, not sparing one out of the five hundred horsemen.” Bequeathed by Miss Catharine Lorillard Wolfe, 1887. Signed. Water Color, 37 H.; 25 W.

On canvas, 321 H. ; 47 W BLUM, Robert F. American School. Born at Cincinnati, Ohio, 1857; died, 1903. At the age of sixteen he entered a lithographic establishment, but soon came to New York and gave a number of years to illustrative work. From 1880 to 1889 he made several trips abroad. In 1890 he went to Japan, commissioned by the Scribners to work conjointly with Sir Edwin Arnold. In the mean time his paintings had brought recognition and he was awarded bronze, silver and gold medals. The “Bead Stringers,” a Venetian subject, occasioned his election as associate member of the Academy of Design, and “The Ameya” brought him into full membership. Upon his return from Japan in the fall of 1892, after writing and illustrating articles on Japan, and completing several easel pictures, Mr. Blum made an entirely new departure, taking up mural decoration. The “Moods of Music” in Mendelssohn Hall, begun in 1893, is his first serious effort along the new lines and is an initial proof, as later productions bear witness, that the artist was well qualified to exercise his powers in the broad field of mural painting. 136 THE AMEYA , OR ITINERANT CANDY VENDER. In the foreground at the left, “The Candy Peddler” habited in a light blue Japanese robe and with a kerchief of the same color about his head sits upon a brown paper box before a stand of highly decorated, grotesque confections.

Her first two pictures exhibited at Bordeaux, 1841, attracted much attention, and were followed by others which established her Vorld-wide fame. First exhibited at the Salon in 1845. Her painting, “Bceufs Rouges du Cantal,” won her her first reward, a gold medal of the third class, 1847. During the Franco-Prussian War, her studio and residence at By, adjoining the Forest of Fontainebleau, were respected by special order of 11 the Crown Prince of Prussia, Since 1848 she had been Director of the Paris Free School of Design for Young Girls, which she founded. “Exempt” from Jury of Admission by special decree, July 27, 1853.

On canvas, 25 H.; 32 W. 650 THE HORSE FAIR . Rosa Bonheur made her debut at the Paris Salon of 1841, to which she sent two small pictures of sheep, goats, and rabbits. She exhibited each following year except 1851-52. In 1853 she exhibited her masterpiece, the now famous “ Horse Fair.” The subsequent history of this painting is given in the following extract from a letter written to Mr. S. P. Avery by Mr. Ernest Gambart, the original purchaser of the picture, formerly of London, and now retired from business and living at Nice: “ I will give you the real story of the ‘Horse Fair’ now in New York. It was painted in 1852 by Rosa Bonheur, then in her thirtieth year, and exhibited in the next Salon. Though much admired, it did not find a purchaser. It was soon after exhibited at Ghent, meeting again with much appreciation, but was not sold, as art did not flourish at the time. In 1855, the picture was sent by Rosa Bonheur to her native town of Bordeaux, and exhibited there. She offered to sell it to the town at the very low price of 12,000 francs ($2,400). While there I asked her if she would sell it to me, and allow me to take it to England and have it en- graved. She said: ‘ I wish my picture to remain in France. I will once more impress on my countrymen my wish to sell it to them for 12,000 francs. If they refuse, you can have it, but if you take it abroad, you must pay me 40,000 francs.’ The town failing to make the purchase, I at once accepted these terms, and Rosa Bonheur then placed the picture at my disposal. I tendered her the 40,000 francs, and she said: ‘I am much gratified at your giving me such a noble price, but I do not like to feel that I have taken advan- tage of your liberality. Let us see how we can combine in the matter. You will not be able to have an engraving made from so large a canvas. Suppose I paint you a small one of the same subject, of which I will make you a present.’ Of course I accepted the gift, and thus it happened that the large work went 12 traveling over the kingdom on exhibition, while Thomas Landseer was making an engraving from the quarter-size replica. “After some time, in 1857 (I think), I sold the original picture to Mr. VVm. P. Wright, New York (whose picture gallery and residence were at Wee- liawken, N. J.), for the sum of 30,000 francs, but as he claimed a share of the profits of its exhibition in New York and other cities, he really paid me only 22,000 francs for it. I offered to repurchase the picture in 1870 for 50,000 francs, but ultimately I understood that Mr. Stewart paid a much larger price for it on the dispersion of Mr. Wright’s gallery. The quarter-size replica, from which the engraving was made, I finally sold to Mr. Jacob Bell, who be- queathed it, in 1859, to the nation, and it is now in the National Gallery in London. A second, still smaller, replica was painted a few years later, and was resold some time ago in London for £4,000 ($20,000). There is also a smaller water-color drawing, which was sold to Mr. Bolckow for 2,500 guineas ($12,000), and is now an heirloom belonging to the town of Middleborough. That is the whole history of this grand work. The Stewart canvas is the real and true original, and only large size ‘Horse Fair.’ “Once in Mr. Stewart’s possession, it never left his gallery until the auction sale of his collection, March 25, 1887, when it was purchased by Mr. Cornelius Vanderbilt for the sum of $55,500, and presented to the Metropolitan Museum* of Art. Hamerton calls Rosa Bonheur ‘the most accomplished female painter who ever lived,’ and adds: ‘She is a pure and generous woman as well, and can hardly be too much admired, whether we regard her as a woman or artist. She is simple in her tastes and habits of life, and many stories are told of her generosity to others.’” (Note. — The picture was sold to Mr. Cornelius Vanderbilt for $53,000.)

Returning to Paris, he became a victim of consumption, from which he died in London in his twenty-seventh year. 245 SEA COAST.

On canvas, 22 H.; 18 W. 364 RELIGIOUS PROCESSION IN BRITTANY. Purchased in 1873 from the collection of the late Baron Strousberg, Berlin. The Brittany peasantry are very quaint in their costume, wearing broad-brimmed hats and flowing hair and in some districts trunk hose of the sixteenth century. They are usually spare and wiry in their persons, almost unchanged in their manners, customs, and habits, and old legends and super- stitions still retain their hold on the popular mind. Of ancient monuments of different ages there is no lack in Brittany, and above all, of Celtic remains; those extraordinary masses of rough unhewn stones are supposed to be in some way connected with the religion of the Druids. Brittany appears to have been the sacred land of the Gauls, the center of their worship to which the various nations and tribes repaired on pilgrimages at stated times to pay their devotions. Their mysterious influence is not yet by any means effaced from the minds of the lower orders of Brittany. Almost every church has its strange legend, and every saint his special patronage, and on his fete day a pil- grimage or pardon is celebrated. The pardon of St. Mathurin held at Lamballe on Whitsunday is much frequented by pilgrims, who dance the old Breton dances. The pardon celebrated four times a year at Rumegol, near Le Faou, is attended with very curious ceremonies. These pardons take place at fixed 17 periods around about certain churches, but often in uncultivated fields, where tents are erected, and where the fete continues for several days, and is attended by thousands of the peasantry of both sexes. The most important of these pardons are those of Ste. Anne d’Auray, and of Ste. Anne de Palud, which last is the most picturesque of all, and takes place at the seaside. The one repre- sented in M. Breton’s picture is held at Kergoat, near Douarnenez and Quim- per. Bequeathed by Miss Catharine Lorillard Wolfe, 1887. Signed and dated, 1869. On canvas, 51 EL; 72 W.

The spiritual idea in the center of the painting conveying the beautiful Norse theory that Life and the World is but as a tree with ramifying branches, is carefully carried out by the painter, the stem of the goblet being a massive tree-trunk, the branches of which spread out and hold between them an ocean dotted with sails, surrounded by dense forests and plains, in which appear Greek rui ns and a modern Italian building, typical of ancient and modern civilization. The painting has been exhibited at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, 1842, and many later exhibitions. Gift of Mrs. S. P. Avery, 1904. Signed and dated, 1833. On canvas, 18} H. ; 16 W.

His style was very broad and powerful, and his landscapes are possessed of a noble quality which reveals the beauty of English cultivated scenery in the most charming manner, and his landscapes, in which mills, weirs, and dykes are prominent features, often glisten with the early morning dew, or, wet with rain, sparkle in the sunlight bursting through the storm clouds in the sky. He was both vigorous and realistic; strong in his originality, yet refined and cultivated in his mind. His pictures possess a quality which fill a place unoccupied by any other English landscape painter, and they have done much to form the style of the modern French landscape school. 252 A LOCK ON THE STOUR. An old timber lock, through which a boat is passing from the. higher to the lower level, occupies the middle foreground of the picture. In the bow of the boat one man is tugging at a rope, and two other men are engaged opening the gate of the lock; on the left the country is flat, bounded by low hills which encircle the church the square tower of which marks the place where the village stands. Cumulus clouds fill the sky, and a group of old oaks with their massive foliage shadow the canal which passes underneath their branches. Exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1824, and sold on the first day of the exhibition for £157 10s. It is engraved in Constable’s Works, also on wood in Brock-Arnold, Life of Constable, p. 78. This picture was in the possession of Lucas, who engraved the 22 prints in Various Subjects of Landscapes . . . by John Constable, London, in 1833, and was purchased from Alfred Lucas, brother of the engraver.

Situated on the bank of the Stour, and known as “ Willy Lott’s House.” The house occupies the center of the picture and is illumined only by a glint of light which penetrates the group of heavy, dark, oak trees which overshadow the whole place. Some cows have wandered down into the stream, and two boats are there containing figures. At the left are some rocks and heavy timbers with brush, which border the stream and lead on to a hill in the middle distance. The sky is filled with silvery-gray clouds. “Flatford Mill,” the property of the painter’s father in East Bergholt, Suffolk, was near this place. Constable painted this subject several times. The one in the National Gallery in London was in the Vernon collection, and was engraved by J. C. Bentley. Gift of Mr. Henry G. Marquand, 1888. On canvas, 534 H. j 451 W. 288 BRIDGE ON THE STOUR.

Visited Italy in 1826, and on his return from this first tour he brought those admirable studies which established him as one of the pathfinders in the development of the modern French School of landscape art. Corot was gifted with a highly poetical temperament, and rendered in the most charming and alluring manner the serene aspects of nature, with an intelligence replete with appreciation, and knowledge of the most beautiful truths.

Clouds of smoke rise from the distant hills into a bright, luminous sky above; beneath is a lake or bay, upon the border of which in the immediate foreground are boats laden with game. Men and women with skins about their loins are disembarking on the shore where prominently at the right is a centaur with a nude female sitting on his back. Upon the branch of an old tree trunk above, a man waves his hand in welcome to those below, where a woman is springing from the bow of a boat, and two others are holding a live ape between them. A faun is carrying a deer ashore upon his back and a man at the left is in the act of swinging a boar from his back to the ground. In the middle distance at the left, the woods are on fire and the hunters are busy with their prey. Gift of Mr. Robert Gordon. On panel, 28 H. ; 66 W. 92 HUNTING SCENE. A thickly wooded landscape with tall tree trunks in the foreground and an opening over the fields on either side to the hill and sky beyond. The fore- ground is crowded with fauns, satyrs, men and centaurs, with huge knotted clubs, who are slaying the animals which have been driven from the thick woods by fire. The fight is fierce to the death and extends to all parts of the picture: at the right lies the dead body of a man with his club beside him, and near by an animal has sprung from a tree and fastened his teeth in the neck of a centaur; prominently at the left, two men attack a lion who is biting a boar, and another holds a struggling bear in his arms; other animals flee up the hill only to meet the slayers there.

Sitting, full length, leaning back in a chair richly upholstered with tapes- try, is a graceful youth dressed in black velvet; a small white collar is at the neck and white cuffs are at the wrists. His ideal head leans against the back of the chair as he watches with a dreamy expression two soap bubbles which float in the air before him. Relaxation from study is expressed in every line of the figure and the hands which lie listlessly by his side, one of which is resting upon the seat of the chair, the other holding the straw with which the bubbles were blown. On a table before him are a spinning top, a glass of froth, a bunch of school books, and a mirror, and above the youth’s head, on the wall, is a wreath of laurel. The background is warm gray.

Crayer’s pictures were mostly of biblical subjects. His color was subdued, but truthful; he had a free, masterly touch, and his feeling for beauty sometimes 31 borders on the ideal. “ The Coronation of St. Rosalie by the Infant Christ/’ in the Museum at Ghent, is one of his finest works; this picture was carried away by the French, but returned. The “Martyrdom of St. Blasius, ,, in the same museum, was his last work, executed when he was over eighty years old.

England appreciated and purchased his works long before his own country- men recognized his ability. 260 LANDSCAPE WITH CATTLE.

He wears a white coat trimmed with black cloth and gold buttons, a sash and breeches of dark blue, a dark ’kerchief is bound closely about his head, and sandals are on his feet. At his left, the center of the group, is a young woman playing the castanets. Her face and figure are to the front in deep shadow; she wears a black dress relieved by two bright red bows; her bare shoulders are visible through a heavy, coarse knit shoulder cape; and a high shell comb rises above her coal-black hair. Sitting by her side with his back to the spectator is a man leaning over to the right, smoking a cigarette and playing upon a guitar.

On a boat arranged with all necessary equipments for a house and 34 studio combined, he made long excursions on the Oise and Seine. A dweller in the open air, he rendered with all the freshness of springtime, the tender accuracy of color, which contact with nature alone made possible, and brought to landscape painting an unusual grace.

A steamship lies at the wharf where are gathered a multitude of emi- ? rants, mostly of German origin, who are about to embark for a foreign land, n the foreground at the right, among the crowd and yet a little apart, is a family group. The mother is nursing her infant, while an older child, fast asleep, leans heavily against her shoulder. The father is stretched out at full length, with his head resting upon his left hand; and a cloud of blue smoke curls upward from a pipe which he is smoking. His son sits idly by, gazing at his mother and the infant. An older sister with very blond hair stands by, holding a child in her arms. In the center of the picture is an old 35 Ionian with a large bundle; her right hand is extended to receive from a girl who sits at her side a piece of bread, which has been taken from a basket. Behind these stand three men in conversation, one of whom with an Alsatian air is smoking a large German pipe. Sitting at the left is a man, tired and listless, with a hat in his right hand, and by him is a young German girl in a tall hat, who holds with both hands a large black bag. Beyond are a mass* of people huddled together, and the steamer, broadside on, with its gang- planks out, receiving both human freight and baggage.

She secretly loves Ivanhoe whom she cures of a wound, and repulses at the peril of her life the criminal love of De Bois Guil- bert, on account of whose infatuation she is condemned as a witch, but is saved by the sudden death of her accuser. In the foreground, Bois Guilbert, mounted on a restless dapple gray horse, has turned in the saddle and is reach- ing out to receive the limp form of the swooning maiden from the hands of a knight, who has borne her in his arms from the burning Chateau Front de Boeuf, which is in flames on the crest of a hill. A cavalier at full gallop, fol- lowed by others, is about to arrive from the scene of the abduction. CEuvre de Delacroix par A. Robaut, page 255, No. 974. CEuvre de Delacroix par A.

Tearing down a muddy roadway through a wood of leafless trees are a squad of brigandish looking Cossacks, pursued and overtaken by Napoleon’s Imperial Guard, who rush upon them with overwhelming force, cutting right and left with their curved swords. The leader of the Cossack band, mounted on a light horse loaded with plunder, turns in his saddle with a ready pistol raised to shoot. Others are scattering through the woods, and at the left, one has clutched a soldier to drag him off his horse. The long spears of the Cos- sacks in a conflict like this are of little use and there is safety only in flight. Salon, 1870. Purchased from the collection of the late Edward Matthews, Esq.

My Dear Sir : I have learned with great pleasure that you have become the purchaser of my painting, exhibited this year in our Art Salon, and I am happy that it finds a place in your gallery, which enjoys a very great reputation in France. I know that I shall be “in good company” with you, and it is so much the more gratifying to me, as I consider this last painting the most im- portant work I have ever produced. The episode which I have chosen gives scope for a great development of subject. It is the moment when the division of General Faron (now inspector of Marne), after having taken Champigny, situated above the Marne, fortified itself in the village and defended, foot by foot, the house and enclosures against the return attack of the Saxony and Wurtemberg divisions, in the battle of 2d December, 1870. The chateau which I have shown is one of those which are found at the fork of the two roads at Chennevieres — a place well known to those Parisians who took part in the scenes of the siege of Paris. The officer 39 shown in the center of the picture is General Faron, who was appointed Gen- eral of Division on the field of battle. The foot soldiers belong to the 113th Regiment of the Line, who lost a great number in the three days of fight. The Sappers, who are making the embrasures in the wall to allow the sharpshooters to fire under protection, and are barricading the opening with all kinds of material; the artillerists, who are placing the battery guns in position; all like- wise were under the orders of General Faron, who at this time commanded the right wing of the French army. I have endeavored to portray, in the most exact manner possible, the vari- ous scenes of which I was a witness, having been myself a soldier in the “Garde Mobile” during the siege of Paris; and in painting this work I have had the advantage of being able to reproduce some souvenirs absolutely per- sonal. I attach, therefore, much importance to this painting, and am specially desirous — outside of the Paris Exhibition — for permission to exhibit it in Ger- many, where I have been very particularly solicited to show my military works. I particularly desire to be represented at this international gathering, and I have selected naturally this my most important work. It is the first time since the war of 1870 that French art has been exhibited in Germany, and the presence of military paintings recalling souvenirs of the late war will add a peculiar piquancy. I have always been very sensible of the favors shown me in America, and I am happy to be able to testify this to you especially. Receive, sir, the expression of my distinguished regards, etc. Edouard detaille. Gift of Judge Henry Hilton, 1887. Signed and dated, 1879. On canvas, 48 H. ; 85 W. DEVEDEUX, Louis. French School.

Diaz was one of those who gave celebrity to the village of Barbizon, in the forest of Fontainebleau. Anything served him as a pretext for bringing to light his marvelous aptitude as a colorist. He rendered with equal facility the enchant- ments of the landscape flooded with sunshine, and the deep forest in luminous twilight, or nymphs with flesh of exquisite tone; and dazzled the eye with all the seductions of a grand colorist.

Pupil of his father and Alexander Thiele, and succeeded well in copying the works of Rembrandt, Everdingen, Ostade, Poelemberg, Heinrich Roos and Salvator Rosa. He had no originality, and his color and execution were subject to much criti- cism, yet he had great popularity, and his works are numerous. The Dresden Gallery has fifty-one, and all the German Galleries have specimens of his works. In the National Gallery the “Wandering Musicians” is an unusually good work of this artist. 604 SURPRISED.

The light from a casement window at the left center falls full upon a group of soldiers who surround a small table and are playing at cards. One man with a pitcher in his hand stands leaning over watching the game, and another who is standing behind the table is smoking a long clay pipe. Behind this group is a large chimney-piece and in the shadow beyond at the end of the room is a balcony beneath which there is another table where other soldiers are intent upon the game. A wine cask and other objects are in the foreground at the left; and a sleeping dog, a drum, and a broken pitcher are on the floor at the right. Painted to order.

Exhibited in Salon, 1848, pen and ink landscape drawings, and in 1855 his first oil picture, “Battle of the Alma,” which was followed in 1857 by the “Battle of Inkerman.” The great wealth of his imagination, and wonderful facility of execution, led him into exaggerations which deprived him of fame as an historical painter. 349 THE RETREAT FROM MOSCOW. Napoleon’s army is in full retreat over a frozen waste. In the foreground a wagon-load of soldiers are being ridden down by a squadron of Russian cavalry who mercilessly slay both man and horse.

One of the most original and powerful painters of the moctern French School. At twelve years of age he was the principal decorator in his father’s porcelain factory on the banks of the Oise. “It was in the contemplation of nature, in his isolation amidst her 43 influences, that the mind of the lad was opened to her beauty, and that her mystery was sounded by his thought. In his hours of freedom the boy used to wander over the fields with sketch-book and pencil. No professor inter- posed himself between this talent in its birth and what it portrayed. What ke was ignorant of he asked but of her; what he learned was from her teaching. At eighteen the little china painter had become a young master. At sixty, he was the illustrious, respected, veteran of the School of 1830 — Delacroix, Rous- seau, Diaz, Corot, Barye, Millet, Decamps, and Troyon. ,, Medals: second class, 1833 and 1867.

American School. Born at South Orange, N. J., August 21, 1796; died there, 1886. He studied engraving with his father and with Peter Maverick, whose partner he became in 1817. His “Declaration of Independence,” after Trumbull, first brought him into prominent notice as an engraver. He was one of the original members of the National Academy of Design, organized in 1826, and was elected president at the resignation of Professor Morse in 1845, a position he held until 1861. About 1835 he resolved to become a painter, and until the time of his death devoted himself to that branch of the pro- fession. Among the better known of his earlier works are: “Harvey Birch and Washington,” “The Wrath of Peter Stuyvesant,” “The Capture of Andre,” “Dance on the Battery,” “The Forest Primeval,” and “Franconia Mountains.” Many of his pictures have been engraved. 1 70 ARIADNE (after Vanderlyn).

This artist, if not really the founder of the German school, perfected the art which already existed in his country. He was a sculptor, architect, and painter. His drawing 45 was rich in life and expression; his coloring very unequal; his nude figures ugly and vulgar, and his love for the fantastic prevented him from becoming what he might otherwise have been. He became a disciple of Michael Wolge- muth, in whose atelier he remained three years. In 1490 he set out on his travels, and in 1494 returned to Nuremberg and settled himself as a painter. He remained there ten years. In 1505 he went to Venice, Padua and Bo- logna. The following year he returned to Nuremberg, where he remained till 1520, and executed an immense number of paintings, drawings, engravings, and some carved works in boxwood and steatite. He then made a journey into the Netherlands, was absent about a year, and returned to his native city, never to leave it again. Although his pictures are scarce, the large Ger- man Galleries have specimens of his work. “The Four Temperaments” are now in the Pinakothek at Munich, this Gallery has also five large pictures of the life of Christ. The Virgin holding the naked Child in her arms is now in the Belvedere at Vienna. These are but a small part of the important works of Diirer; the Berlin Gallery has several, and the Dresden Gallery four. 26 HEAD OF AN APOSTLE.

DIJCK, Sir Anthony (Antoon) van. Flemish School. Bom at Antwerp, 1599; died at London, 1641. The most distinguished of Rubens’ pupils. One of the many great artists whose gifts showed them- selves almost from birth. He was the son of a glass painter. At ten he had already begun to paint; at fifteen he had entered Rubens’ studio; and at nineteen he was himself a “master.” For five years (1620-25) he was traveling and painting in Italy, with letters of introduction from Rubens, and on his return to Antwerp he at once became the court painter of his time. Queens visited him in his studio, and the nobility of three nations considered it an honor to be painted by him. He twice visited London, in 1620 and in 1627, before he finally settled there in 1632. 46 On his first presentation to Charles I, he obtained permission to paint the king and queen. He was appointed painter to the court, was knighted, and received a pension of £200. A town house was given him at Black- friars and a country house at Eltham. He always went magnificently dressed, had a numerous and gallant equipage, and kept so good a table in his apartment that few princes were more visited or better served. For seven years Van Dyck worked at the portraits of the English aris- tocracy with indefatigable industry. Nearly half of all his known pictures are in England (a large collection of them was brought together at the Gros- venor Gallery in 1887), but in the National Gallery he is at present incom- pletely represented. There are no pictures there either of women or of children in both of which he excelled. The last two years of his life were mainly spent in traveling with his young wife, the granddaughter of Lord Ruthven. He died when only forty- two, and was buried in the old Church of St. PauFs. Van Dyck was essentially the painter of princes, distinguished by the indelible mark of courtly grace and refinement which he gave to all his sitters. 46 ST.

Brady’s fame as a historical photographer rests upon his standard portraits of the great men of the period, and as author and originator of War Series and Battle Scenes, the excellence of which have been so fully recog- nized that they have been almost universally used as illustrations for maga- zines and periodicals when treating of historical men and events.

The brothers Hubert and Jan van Eyck are distinguished as being the inventors (or improvers) of Oil Painting. The chief credit is usually given to Jan, but probably Hubert has the better claim. Jan was by 24 years the younger of the two. They resided chiefly at Ghent and Bruges. 262 VIRGIN AND CHILD. The Virgin, dressed in a long scarlet robe, stands in a niche of richly sculptured gothic architecture, looking tenderly down upon the Child which she holds against her breast. On a baldachin over her head is inscribed, “DOMUS DEI EST _ET PORTA CEL1;” beneath is “IPSA EST QUAM PREPARAVIT DOMS FILIO DNI MEI.” King of Holland sale, 1850. Exhibited at Manchester, 1857, and at the Royal Academy in 1871, by A. J. Beresford Hope. Described in Waagen Art Treasures, IV, 190. The figures of the Virgin and Child are copied from a signed picture by Jan van Eyck, the “Virgin by a Fountain,” at Antwerp. The architectural background is similar to that in one of Hubert van Eyck’s miniatures at Turin (now destroyed). Everything, therefore, points to the picture being done in Jan van Eyck’s studio by a close follower. Gift of Mr. Henry G. Marquand, 1888. On panel, 22 H. ; 11£ W. FAGNANI, Giuseppe. American School.

FORTUNY Y CARBO, Mariano-Jose-Maria-Bernado. Span- ish School. Born at Reus, Catalonia, Spain, 1841; died at Rome, 1874. His parents were poor. Drawing was his absorbing passion. In 1847 he attended a public course in drawing in his native town. At 12 years of age he began the study of painting, and while so engaged he lost both of his parents, which intensified his unfortunate lot. In 1857 he won the Prix de Rome from Spain, and from that time he quickly rose to fame. His career was as brilliant as it was short. In 1867, already celebrated among painters, he married M’lle Cecilia de Madrazo, the sister of the celebrated artist Ray- mundo de Madrazo. Chevalier of the Order of Charles III.

Afterwards he spent some years in the successful practice of his profession in England, coming to America in 1843, settling in New York. He excelled in painting cabinet portraits in oil, and his ability was soon recognized. Added to his facilty in securing a like- ness, he finished his pictures with extreme delicacy, without in the least rob- bing them of their force and character. He painted Henry Clay and Daniel Webster. In 1839 the National Academy of Design awarded him the medal offered for the best specimen of portrait painting exhibited. 106 100 PORTRAIT OF COLONEL POPHAM.

Philip the Fair, of France, resisted his authority in spiritual matters, and, aided by Italian enemies of the Pope, compelled him to take refuge in his native town. Hither he was pursued by Sciarra Colonna, at that time head of the most cele- brated and powerful of the Roman aristocratic families. The picture repre- sents the moment when Boniface says to his assailants, “ Here is my neck; here is my head; strike! but I will die Pope.” Boniface was thrown into prison, and though liberated by the people of Anagni, died within a month.

(Called also Carluccio dalle Madonne, from the large number of Madonna pictures that he painted.) Was an imitator of Raphael, and for nearly half a century the most eminent painter in Rome.

The most dis- tinguished pupil of Troyon, whose attention he attracted while employed in the porcelain works as a decorator, and through whose influence he began the study of nature, and subsequently abandoned the pottery at Sevres for a studio in Paris. The influence of Troyon is evident in all of Van Marcke’s earlier works. But he was a consummate draughtsman, and soon developed a style of his own, displaying marked ability and freedom in composition, individuality of touch, and a quality of color differing from that of his mas- ter. His works sparkle with sunlight, and beneath the showery skies there is a freshness of verdure replete with the charm of midsummer days. Medals : 1867, 1869, 1870. Legion of Honor, 1872.

His pictures are seen in all of the larger Galleries. 42 A GUST OF WIND .

Stewart, dated January 27th, 1876. “I did not intend to paint a battle — I wanted to paint Napoleon at the zenith of his glory; I wanted to paint the love, the adoration of the soldiers for the great Captain in whom they had faith, and for whom they were ready to die. “ I previously had represented, in the picture 1 1814/ the heartrending end of the Imperial Dream — those men only recently intoxicated with glory, now shown exhausted, and no longer believing in their invincible chief. My palette then did not have colors sad enough for the purpose; but to-day, in ‘Friedland, 1807/ wishing everything to appear brilliant at this triumphant moment, it seemed to me I was unable to find colors sufficiently dazzling. No shade should be upon the Imperial face, to take from him the epic character I wished to give him. The battle, already commenced, was necessary to add to the enthusiasm of the soldiers, and make the subject stand forth, but not to diminish it by saddening details. All such shadows I avoided, and presented nothing but a dismounted cannon, and some growing wheat which would never ripen. “ This was enough. “ The men and the Emperor are in the presence of each other. The soldiers cry to him that they are his, and the impressive Chief, whose Imperial will directs the masses that move around, salutes his devoted army. He and they plainly comprehend each other, and absolute confidence is expressed in every face. “ Such was the idea as it leaped from my brain the first instant when I em- bodied the picture in thought; and which, in spite of the long time I have taken to put it on canvas, has always remained with me so clear and plain that I have never in any manner modified it.” “Friedland, 1807” was sold at auction at the sale of the Stewart Collec- tion, March 25, 1887, and purchased by Judge Henry Hilton for $66,000, and by him given to the Museum in 1887. Napoleon mounted on his famous white horse and surrounded by his generals and aides is upon a slight eminence in the center of the picture. In wild enthusiasm the Cuirassiers are charging before him through a field of unripe wheat, every soldier rising in his stirrups and shouting “Vive FEm- pereur” as he raises his sword flashing in the light of a midday sun. The bat- tle rages in the distance and above is a clear blue sky with light floating clouds. Signed and dated, 1875. On canvas, 521 H. ; 951 W. 353 THE BROTHERS ADRIEN AND WILLIAM VAN DE VELDE. From the Laurent-Richard collection, Paris, 1878.

The gentleman- ly portrait of this artist, now in the Queen of England’s collection, represents him to have been a man of a naturally delicate frame and of a sensitive mind; he unquestionably formed his style from the study of works by such distinguished men as Gerard Dou, Frans Van Mieris, Terburg, and Jan Steen, who were all superior to him in invention and the delineation of character; but Metsu obtained a grace of expression and an elegance in demeanor which left him without a rival in the old Dutch School. 273 THE MUSIC LESSON. Seated near the center of a room is a lady in a golden brown dress, with her face upturned to a man who is standing behind her to whom she is showing a sheet of music which she holds in her right hand, her left hand rests upon a guitar which lies upon a red tapestry-covered table by her side. At the lady’s left is a man playing a violoncello, and behind this group is an open case- mented window, and a door through which a servant approaches with refresh- ments. In the foreground at the left is an open case, and sheets of music are on the floor, and at the right is the cloak and trappings of a cavalier. From the Perkins Collection. Gift of Mr. Henry G. Marquand, 1890. Signed and dated, 1659. 120 On canvas, 24 H.; 21 W_ METSYS (or Massys or Matsys), Quentin (Quinten). ( School of.) Flemish School. Born, according to the Royal Museum of Belgium, at Louvain, Belgium, 1466; died at Antwerp, 1530; the National Gallery and the Louvre have it: bom at Antwerp before 1460; died there 1530-31. Early in life he was a blacksmith, and, it is said, became a painter for the sake of an artist’s daughter, whom he loved, and whose father was determined she should marry none but a painter. Metsys, the first of the great Antwerp painters, was the last who remained faithful to the traditions of the early Flemish School. His most important work was an altar-piece in three parts, now in the Museum of Antwerp. “ The Misers,” at Windsor Castle, is a notable work by this Master. His pictures are seen in all large European Galleries. He is buried in front of the Cathedral in Antwerp, and the immediate spot is marked with the simple inscription, “M. Q. M., obiit 1529.” 70 THE CROWN OF THORNS. The head of the Saviour. Front view. The hair and beard are of a red- dish brown.
