The Third, the French School. The second part of this book, is distinguislied fror the first and third, by a coloured edge. In each of these divisions will be founcl : 1° The accurate names of the Artists. 2° The dates and places of their birth and death, taken from the most authentic sources. 3° The names of the masters, when known, of whoi>i. the Artists were pupils. li° The dimensions of the paintings, the material ^ which theF are painted, and the size of the figures. 5° T\m ilescription of the subjects represented. 6° Th® origin of the paintings; that is, the indication ct tb« time at which they were added to the collection, a . . tte names of the Sovereigns who bought them. We shal feowever observe that when we make use of the expres-» sion Old collection, it is because we were unable to dis- ewer exactly, the * ; mission of the painting n INTRODUCTION. into the Museum ; and that, under the denomination of Napoleon Museum, which relates to Napoleon the First, we have united the works collected under the first Re- public, the Consulate, and the Empire. Each part has a separate set of numbers correspondi ng with those of the pictures of each school, which bear be- sides, on the frames, the names of the Artists. The red numbers, indicate the Italian and Spanish Paintings. The bltie numbers, indicate the German, Flemish or Dutch Paintings. The black numbers. Indicate the French Paintings. Persons wishing to have more ample details of the lives of the Artists whose names are mentioned in this book, and to know more of the historical particulars, rela- ting to each painting exhibited, as well as the indication of the engravings made after it, will find that information in the work published in French, by M' Fr^d^ric Villot, Chief Keeper of the Picture Department of the Impe- rial Museums, work of which this Guide, translated by M' A. Delaunay, is an abridgment The collection of pictures composing the Museum of Paintings, at the Louvre, is exhibited in the following rooms : 1° The Large Hall, in which has been united a selection of the master-pieces of the different Schools. 2" The Grand Gallery, adjoining the Hall. This gallery is divided into six parts, and six small saloons. The two first are dedicated to the Italian and Spanish Schools. — The first small saloon contains the early paintings of the German and Flemish Schools — The third and fourth parts, separated by a small saloon, belong to the German, Flemish and Dutch Masters. — The oldest pic- tures of the French Artists, have been collected in the third small saloon. The fifth part is reserved for the French School, which occupied also the sixth part (now IINTRODUCTION. VII closed, being under repair), and went as far as the time of Louis XIV. 3* The visitor, retracing his steps, after having passed through the Gallery of Apollo, the Round Hall and the room of Antique Bronzes, reaches the Large Hail of the Modem French School, formerly called the Hall of the seven chimneys. In this Hall is found a selection of the most cele- brated paintings of artists, who lived from the end of the last century until the present time, but who are no longer living; the Louvre only admitting the works of deceased artists. 4° The nine rooms adjoining this Hall, and which suc- ceed each otlier, parallel with the river, contain the re- mainder of the French pictures, classed by centuries, beginning at the end of that of Louis XIII, or the first part of the reign of Louis XIV, until the most modern age. 5° After having gone through the Museum of the Sove- reigns, three other rooms are reached, in which have been assembled together, the Flemish , Dutch and Italian pain- tings, which for want of room (until the completion of the Louvre), or from other causes, have not been admitted into the Grand Gallery. 6° Finally, in the large hall called the Assembly Room, adjoining the hall of Henri II, the enamels and earthen vases are exhibited ; also the celebrated paintings of the battles of Alexander, executed by Gh. le Brun, for Louis XIV and several others of minor value. V^ith the exception of the Large Hall, in which no cla sification has been preserved, the pictures have been cla sed, as much as possible, according to their chronologica order. The works of the same artist have been collected together, in order to judge of his various styles, at diffe- rent periods ; and, after having grouped together the ar- tists of the same school, the most remarkable paintings have been placed in the most conspicuous places, in order to facilitate the examination and study of them. VIII ENTRODUCnflg, A considerable number of the paintings of the MuseuT& have been engraved by skilful artists; these engravings are sold in the Louvre itself, in the department of the Chal- cography. A selection of these prints is exhibited, in the rooms adjoining those of the Drawings, where the Catalogue of the complete collection may be found. F. V. April 25th 185».

Ills wings were so arranged, that two were elevated above his liead, two were "stretched out to fly, and the other two, covered all his bod}'. At this moment, the marks of the wounds of the Saviour, appeared on the hands and feet of the Saint, and his right side received also a wound, as if from the thrust of a lance.

The Christ, clothed in roj^al vestments, is seated on a ihrone with rich columns, and raised on nine marble teps of different colours, probably symbolical. A place 6Yi his right is reserved for his mother. He holds in his hands a crown, which he is about placing on the head of the Virgin, kneehng before him, her hands crossed on her breast. On each side of the throne, twelve angels, with purple wings, flowing robes, and flames over their heads, are holding trumpets and different instruments, and celebrate by their music, the solemnity. One of the angels on the left, is in prayer. Below the angels are the saints, eighteen on the left, and twenty two on the right. To designate with accuracy the elect represented in the painting, the author has written the name of some on the halo, surrounding their heads, or on the hem of their garments, and has given to others, symbols, by which they are known. Thus, on the left, is seen the name of Moses, of saint John the Baptist, of the apostles saint Andrew, saint Peter, saint Bartholomew, saint James the Younger, and saint Simon. The Evangelists saint John and saint ]\Iark liave each a book in the hand. Saint Agustin, bishop of Hippona, is holding a pen. The founders of orders, saint Benedict, saint Antony, saint Francis d'Assise have mantles spangled with stars, or gilt flowers. Saint Dominick holds a lily and a book. The mantle of saint Thomas d'Aquin has a clasp in the form of a sun. The emperor Charlemagne has a crown adorned with fleurs de lis. Finally, saint Nicholas, bishop ofMyra, has near him, as a symbol, three golden balls which are an allusion to the three purses of gold, which he once gave to a needy gentleman, to marry his three daughters, whom he was on the point of abandoning to seduction. On the right, under the angels, round the halo, are written the names of king David, of the apostles saint Mathias, saint Paul, saint Thaddeus, saint James the 86 GIOVANNL Klder, saint Philip, and of saint Mathew, Evangelist. Saint Peter the Dominican is known by the wound on his head; saint Laurence by the gridiron.

The small pictures of the lower part, represent : The ^rst on the left : the vision of Pope Innocent HI. The Pope was unwilling to approve the plan of the order which Saint Dominick presented to him in 1215. One aight the Pope saw in a dream, the church of Saint- Jean-de Latran, ready to fall down ; saint Dominick w^as hastening to support the edifice. Struck by the meaning of this dream.

This painting is the picturesque realization of an legory attributed to Cebes, disciple of Socrates. As exact description of this picture would occupy too mu space, we will confine ourselves to giving here, a. abridgment of the allegory of the Grecian philosopher, abridgment sufficient for the explanation of the compo- sition. — The human race, engendered by Nature and Time, crowds the entrance of the temple of Life. Genius, under the form of an old man, instructs those who en- ter, about the route they ought to follow. Near the door Imposture is seated on a throne, intoxicating them, by making them drink the beverage of Ignorance and Error. Admitted in the interior, they are welcomed by women representing the Opinions, the Passions, and the Vices. They seduce them, by promising to conduct them to happiness and fortune. They soon meet with the blind goddess, placed on a globe of crystal; she despoils some, and bestows her favors on others. After having quitted Fortune, they find Intemperance, Debauchery, Avarice and Flattery, who are watching for those who have accepted their gifts. They flatter them, and pro- mise them a life exempt from sorrow. Persuaded by their honied words, they give themselves up to their de- ceitful caresses ; but soon, ruined and dishonoured, they become the slaves of these women, who induce them to commjt all the crimes. Then the culprits a/e given over to Sorrow, who has for satellites. Grief, Pain, Mourning and Despair. The unhappy sinners then finish their lives in the dungeon of Misfortune, unless Repen- tance delivers them, by showing them the route of Instruction, which is to regenerate them. At the entrance of a second enclosure, a Avoman, adorned with art, welcomes the multitude : her name is False Knowledge. Deceived by her, the poets, orators, musicians, astrol- ogers, geometers, epicurians, critics, etc., believe they have found True Knowledge, and wander in the enclo- sure. However, those who perceive at last that they are under the yoke of Opinion, of Error and of Ignorance, direct their steps towards heights of difficult access, where two robust wo^i^n ,^,iy;^,Qr-atfnn and Patience, are UNKNOWN ARTISTS. holding out their arms to them, and encouraging them to surmount the obstacles. After having cleared those steep rocks, they find another enclosure, another door, a meadow, abode of the Blessed spirits, inhabited by Hap- piness and the Virtues. At the door is standing Ti'ue Knowledge, accompanied by Truth and Persuasion. She cures her guests, by presenting to them a salutary beve- rage. When they have been purified, they are introdu- ced into the abode of Science, in which Strength, Justice, Integrity, Temperance, Moderation, Liberty, Chastity and Gentleness are dwelling. The Virtues introduce the tra- vellers to Happiness, whose temple is built on a hill, overlooliing all the others. Seated on a throne, she crowns the conquerors of the Vices, and these only, can hereafter go through the enclosure of life, without fear of being attacked again, by the seductions and misfor- tunes, which have assailed their first steps in life. — On a book, held by one of the personages of this picture, is written : Danieli opvs. Daniel is evidently the name or one of the names of the author of this painting, whose execution recalls the style of Schiavone and of Boni- fazio ; but we have not as yet, found any document, which would allow us to give biographical informations of the artist, whom we have thought fit to rank pro- visionally, among the unknown Venetian painters of thexvith century. 524 Repast often personages seated before a table; ground of architecture, H.0,26. — ■W.0,41. — C. — Figurcshalf length 0,20^ Old collection." — Venetian sketch. 625 Holy Family, H. 1,50. — W. 2,37. — C. — Heads small S.

CHRONOLOGICAL TABLE OF ITALIAN AND SPANISH ARTISTE ■WHOSE WORKS ARE MENTIONED IN THE 1st PART OF THE CATALOGUE OF PAINTINGS EXHIBITED IN THE GALLERIES OF THE LOUVRE. Lanzi, in his history of painting in Italy, admits the existence of fourteen principal schools. Those multiplied subdivisions, introduced evidently through a national interest, and to throw a certain eclat on localilies which have produced but few eminent artists, appear tous more fictitious than real. Founding our opinion on analogy of style, of principle and execution, we have thought that it would be more simple, and more correct, to reduce the schools of Italy to nine, observing at the same time, that even this number might be reduced.

It is not useless to mention heve, that if these dates, furnished by Italian documents, are indicated the most frequently, according to the roman custom ; they are however, expressed for the Tuscan painters, according to the custom of the time in which they lived, Tuscany only adopted the common era in 17 50 : formerly the years were dated from the Annunciation, or ab Incarnatione . The ignorance of. this custom, abandoned, readopted, then changed, according to the\ epoch and the different places of Tuscany, might give rise to many errors, which can be easily avoided, by consulting the work of Filippo Brunetti, in which this rather obscure subject, is treated in a manner which leaves nothing to desire.

INTRODUCTION, , Notwithstanding our desire of giving to the artists then real names, and of adopting for each of them one single mode of appellation , we could not entirely succeed, be- cause the orthography of the Flemish and Dutch proper names, of the xviith century, were not more settled than that of the Italian proper names, in the xvth and the xvit^ century. So there are found paintings, signed in an authentic manner Rembrandt and Rembrant ; Berchem and Berghem ; Ruisdael and Ruysdael ; Peter, Pieter, Peetef Neefts, Necffs or Neefs, etc ; and though the Germans write generally Johann, and the Dutch Jan, there are however among those last names some Johan and some Johannes. Those differences in the transcription of names are so frequent, that Iloubraken himself, for example, in his alphabetical tables, placed at the end of each volume, does not always exactly reproduce those he has been using in the coarse of the artist's biography. However, as we were in need of a guide, we have used him the most frequently, for the School of tfie Netherlands. GERMAN, FLEMISH AND DUTCH SCHOOLS.
