When very young, after passing through the College at Pons, where he showed an aptitude for drawing, Bouguereau was placed in a business house in Bordeaux. 8 THE STEWART COLLECTION While there, he attended, two hours a day, the drawing-school of M. Alaux. Treated contemptuously by his fellow-students on account of his unaristocratic business connections, Bouguereau nevertheless took the first prize at the end of the year, the award causing such excitement in the school that a riot was the conse¬ quence. Bouguereau then resolved to turn his attention to art, and after he had earned sufficient money by painting portraits at Sain- tonge, where his uncle was a priest, he went to Paris and entered the studio of Picot, and later Vfccole des Beaux Arts , where his progress was rapid.

Real name, Tiziano Vecelli, or Vecellio. Learned rudiments of painting at Cadore ; went to Venice at the age of nine or ten, and was ap¬ prenticed to an unknown artist, perhaps Sebastian Zuccati. He was thrown into daily intercourse with Gentile and Giovanni Bellini, Palma and Giorgione. In 1511 he entered the service of Alfonso I., Duke of Ferrara. There are no striking incidents in his life, which was one of unceasing labor. In 1530 he went to Bologna, where he met Charles V., who created him Count Palatine and Knight of the Golden Spur, by letters patent, be¬ stowed many high privileges on him, and, both then and after¬ ward, sat to him for his portrait. Taken in their totality, Titian’s pictures fairly entitle him to be called the greatest of all painters. No. 81 —Madonna and Child, . . .

At the request of Em¬ peror William was exhibited in Berlin before being sent to this country. The large painting now in the Munich Gallery was painted subsequent to the above. The following description is by the painter, Piloty : The Emperor Tiberius, surrounded by his Courtiers (Favorites, Coun¬ cilors, Lictors, Senators, and Roman Women), has taken his place upon a tribune under a spread canopy, in order that the triumphal procession of Germanicus may pass before him. AJO - £7 MODERN PAINTINGS 6 3 Germanicus appears in the background upon a triumphal car, accom¬ panied by his five sons, surrounded by Trophies of Victory, and is greeted by the applause and acclamations of the people who are to be seen at the Arch of Triumph. In front of the car, reaching from the middle distance to the foreground of the picture, are the German Captives being led in chains. As princi¬ pal figure of this group and of the picture walks Thusnelda, in the cos¬ tume of the Germans, with her son Tumelicus (a child of three years), ac¬ companied by nurse and an attendant. Before her is the Priest Libes, coupled (chained) together with Warriors, escorted by Roman Soldiers, who insult them. Behind Thusnelda are to be seen her brothers, leaders of the Cherusker, chained together, with bears, etc., etc. The foreground to the left is occupied by populace of Rome, who mock and insult Thusnelda. Thusnelda, having been forcibly carried away from her husband Ar- minius, a German Prince, by her father, Segest, was, from reasons which appeared to him advantageous for his own personal interest and the condi¬ tion of the Germans, betrayed and delivered into the hands of the Romans. In the picture Tiberius has selected Segest to stand before the steps of his throne, from where he is forced to witness the shame of his own daughter; he is mocked by the Senators sitting near him, as they point to the prisoners below. Strabo describes, as an eye-witness, this event ; he, as well as Tacitus, although Romans, express plainly their sympathy for the devotion and love of country exhibited by Thusnelda, whose personality will ever be a sub¬ ject of poetical matter for an artist.

The illustrious subject of the painting died on the 6th of May, 1859, at which time the picture was at the foot of his bed. . . . At the suggestion of Humboldt, Mount Blanc, at the left of the picture, and Chimborazo, on the right, were added. The picture was received in New York in summer of 1859, and has ever since remained in my possession and has never been copied.

My Very Dear Friend: I regret much to learn that you have been suffering, and that I have not been in Paris to keep you company, for if lacking wit to amuse you, I could at least distract you, by prattling about old curiosities. On the subject of my works, I will speak only of my picture, which is 1 meter 37 centimeters long by O m 72 high. There are a good many figures, and I don’t exactly know what to call it, as it is in some degree an epitome of my summer’s life. Could I not call it Villegiature — “ Country Life ” ? In fact, there are women on the grass, bathers who are taking headers into the waves, the ruins of an old castle, the walls of a garden, the entrance into a village, etc., etc., all that in bright sunlight, not a single ray omitted; everything is fair and gay, and how could it be other¬ wise since we have so happily passed our summer ? My picture is not yet finished; it wants a month’s work yet. ********* Your Friend, F ORTUNY. —Life of For tuny , Baron Davillier. M. Fortuny died November 21, 1874.

Dated 1875 JEAN LOUIS ERNEST MEISSONIER, Paris Correspondence in Relation to Meissonier’s Great Picture, “ Friedland, 1807.” My Dear Mr. Stewart : I have delayed writing you because my letter must be a last adieu to a work of many years—an act of final separation. You will comprehend why I wished to do so only at the last moment; as, however great may be my satisfaction to know you are to be its possessor, I can only part with it with pain—a picture which has been for so long a time the life and joy of my studio. Le voila, that which will soon be in your possession, be good enough to receive as a friend ; not as one that pleases at the first contact, and is then soon forgotten, but as one of those who, by intimate acquaintance, is loved more and more. Permit me to believe that when you are looking at this picture—on which I have bestowed all the science and experience I have been able to acquire in my art—your pleasure will constantly grow greater. - I have the conviction—which I do not express without a certain pride— that the value of this work will increase with time. What may or can be said of it will pass away, but the picture will remain, to be an honor to both of us ; and although it can defend itself, yet, among the thousands of per¬ sons who have hastened to see it, many have done it injustice with a certain malevolent appreciation—still I have the right, having painted it with so much sincerity of purpose, to defend and explain it. Strange as this may appear, it must be done ; because, however singular may be the fact, some, I understand, have not been pleased to go and see it for themselves, but have adopted the unfair judgment of others. 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 “ 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- 102 THE STEWART COLLECTION 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 grow¬ ing wheat which would never ripen. This was enough. The men and the Emperor are in the presence of each other. The sol¬ diers cry to him that they are his, and the impassive Chief, whose Imperial will directs the masses that move around him, salutes his devoted army. He and they plainly comprehend each other, and absolute confidence is ex¬ pressed in every face. Such was the idea as it leaped from my brain at the first instant when I embodied 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. As to the execution, only a painter (and one of great experience) can say what time, labor, and patience have been brought to bear upon this work to produce a single whole out of so many diverse elements. Only he can say how difficult it is, from such varied materials, to put aside all those artifices which so often are used in art to cover defects. The grow¬ ing wheat is even proof of the difficulties I have encountered in covering it with the dust which hides so many things. I said to you, at the beginning, and again let me repeat it, that I have faith in my work. Time will consolidate and strengthen it more and more, and I am also certain your enlightened love for art will protect it, in case there should be need. Now, dear sir, let me close by offering you my portrait. You desired to have one, and I have had the pleasure of painting it for you myself. With it I trust you will speak of me more intimately, and will always be enabled to recall how much I am Your devoted E. Meissonier. POISSY, January 27, 1876. New York, February 18, 1876. My Dear Mr. Meissonier: It gives me pleasure to acknowledge the safe arrival of your superb picture, “Friedland, 1807,” also your valued letter, with the portrait, as a souvenir of regard ; which I shall always cherish and prize as coming “from my friend Meissonier." The grand painting each day develops such additional beauty and MODERN PAINTINGS 103 interest that I am constantly deriving new enjoyments from its pos¬ session. As you remark, the period of the picture, and the battle it recalls, rep¬ resent the height of Napoleon’s Imperial greatness, when confidence in his destiny was entertained not only by the French people, but by himself. The excitement of the troopers, and the calm face of the Emperor, surrounded by his Marshals, equally calm, and never dreaming of defeat, are all faith¬ fully shown by you. The beholder cannot but feel thrilled with the emotion and excitement the picture so faithfully illustrates, and the memory involuntarily reverts to a period when certainly the glory of France was at its zenith, and when the confidence of the Emperor in his future was at its highest elevation. The labor and care, on your part, which the painting exhibits are re¬ marked by all; and I may add that the work is one upon which you may rest your fame with perfect confidence. Accept my sincere thanks for the fidelity with which you have com¬ pleted this great work, and especially accept my thanks for the souvenir of your portrait which accompanied it. Sincerely your friend, Alex. T. Stewart. Portrait of Himself JEAN LOUIS ERNEST MEISSONIER, Paris Presented by the artist to the late Mr. A. T.

MODERN PAINTINGS 105 DESCRIPTION OF THE PAINTING. “ The painting tells its own story so completely and simply that it will be sufficient to indicate its principal points. In the center, the States of the Union are personified by beautiful maidens, grouped around two hand-in- hand figures, stately and noble, which represent the American Government. One, in a white and flowing robe, is the Republic ; the other is Minerva, so long associated with wisdom, poetry, art, science, the manufactures of domestic life, and, above all, with the maintenance of peace, the basis of true national prosperity. They stand, graceful in their strength, on a triumphal car, drawn by lions, representing the solidity and sovereignty of the Ameri¬ can Republic. The motto E Pluribus Unum, which tells the national history, is inscribed upon the car. In the distance the statue of the Father of his Country, first in peace as in war, is visible ; grateful and loving citi¬ zens, who surround it, are bringing wreaths of laurel, to place on the pedestal suitable offerings of remembrance and affection. The winged messengers of eternal Fame linger in their heavenly flight, to proclaim to earth, air, and ocean the glory and might of the successful Republic, and to invite the nations to behold it. “In the near center are the beautiful representatives of the States of the Union—the first thirteen which adopted the Declaration of Independence properly having the most prominent places before the car of triumph. Here there is no distinction of North and South. They fought, in the great contest which created the nation, side by side, as they are here repre¬ sented. Between the great States of New York and Pennsylvania stands fair Virginia, and, on the other side, Massachusetts is posed between Louisiana and South Carolina, others being visible in the background. “The accessories are various and expressive. Here, the Indian repre¬ sentatives of the aborigines of the great continent, “ the stoic of the woods, the man without a tear,” regard the wondrous scene with silent amazement and admiration ; there, the colored race rejoice in their liberation ; over on the opposite side, in fair contrast, while the sun is rising on the consumma¬ tion of the great Centennial, vessels of many nations are bearing hosts of emigrants to the land of freedom, where Industry, Enterprise, Education, with equal laws and full religious toleration, unite to present, as in a visible vista, equality, wealth, and assured social position. “ The arts and sciences are represented by the implements of manufacture, mechanics, the arts, and literature, while fruits and flowers are the symbols of the earth’s abundance ; and, to complete the picture, one of our noblest rivers quenches the torch of War, and the spirits of the immortal founders of the Republic ascend to join in the Great Centennial. The canvas on which all of this is drawn is 22 by 35 feet, making, undoubtedly, the largest U io6 THE STEWART COLLECTION and most complete allegorical picture ever exhibited on this side of the Atlantic. “ The picture was painted upon an order of the late Alexander T. Stewart, and was intended for the easterly end of his gallery. Proving too large for the space, it was not used, and when the Grand Union Hotel ball-room was designed, the plan adopted included a panel to receive this work.” No. 216 3 £ 2 - The Genius of America fd/traJe. 60 x 36.

Pupil of Ramey and Dumont, he devoted himself, by preference, following the new direction which French art was taking at the time he entered the field, to the creation of graceful female subjects—women and maidens— treated with close adherence to nature in the forms. He has made, beside, a few statues for the churches of Paris. To the former group of subjects belong his “ Nyssia in the Bath,” and a “Psyche with the Lamp” (this latter in the Luxembourg), a “Hebe,” and a “Captured Amazon” (1875), with other statues in the museums of Montpellier and Nantes ; also a statue “ The Dance,” for the Chatelet Theater (1861); the figure of “ Idyllic Poetry,” for the Opera House at Paris.

Died in Florence, Italy, June 27, 1873. In 1817 his parents removed to Cincinnati, where he worked with energy and industry at any mechanical employment that came to hand. He developed remarkable ingenuity in the contrivance of figures moving by machinery to the accompaniment of music. A bust of Napoleon, by Canova, having come under his notice, he was excited by the desire to become a sculptor, for which art he had had no further training than was supplied by instruction in the taking of plaster casts from models, in which he had been taught by a Prussian acquaintance. Assisted by Mr. Longworth, he went to Washington, and there found sufficient employment in making busts to enable him to lay up a little money toward get¬ ting to Italy. Assisted by Col. Preston and Mr. Longworth, he went to Italy in 1837, and settled down into what was to prove a life-long residence. His work consisted largely in the making of busts, in which field he gained a wide popularity in Europe as well as in his native country. In 1843 he produced the statue of the Greek Slave, a work which had an immense success, fixed his reputation the world over, and gave a great impetus to the slowly growing culture of art in this country. The question, of slavery was just then taking on new importance in America, and Powers’ Greek Slave played no small part in the fray. Mrs. Browning wrote a sonnet to the statue, and drew from it an argument for the doing away with all slavery. “ Appeal, fair stone, From God’s pure height of beauty, against man’s wrong; Catch up in thy divine face not alone East griefs but West, and strike and shame the strong, By thunders of white silence overthrown.” Other works by Mr. Powers are the “Fisher Boy,” “America,” “California,” “II Penseroso,” “Eve Tempted,” “Paradise Lost,” with statues of Calhoun and Webster. During his long residence in Florence, Mr. Powers’ house was the center of hos- Y^AJL f^^jO { ? 2 ^t f A 15 , SCULPTURE 1 77 pitality to his traveling countrymen, who found in him an Ameri¬ can of the old-fashioned type, quite unspoiled by foreign life and manners, maintaining a republican rusticity and homeliness in the midst of influences which few are found to resist.

My Dear Sir : You desire that I should give you something of the history of my work, which is now on its way to you, in order that you may see it, as it were, through the medium of the author’s eyes. Well, then, I had already produced a statue of “ Eve Tempted,” which was, indeed, my first ideal figure— and the same now in the possession of Mr. A. T. Stewart, of New York ; but I was not satisfied with my first attempt, as, indeed, the Temptation of Eve did not afford an opportunity for the expression of bewilderment, distress, and remorse which must have appeared on the face and in the attitude of Eve, when she replied, “The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.” It is less difficult, in painting or sculpture, to give a single than a compound expression—simple grief or joy is much easier to render than grief with remorse, or joy with a sigh lingering within the expression of the features. We see these subtilties in nature—but to render them in art re- 178 THE STEWART COLLECTION quires something more than artistic science. The artist must not only see his way (science), but he must also feel his way. In short, he must work from the heart as well as from the brain, and his work then reflects back upon him, as it were, the offspring of his will and understanding. The will has conceived, the under¬ standing has produced ; and hence allow me to say, that without understanding—that is, without learning, knowledge, science, prac¬ tice, experience, study—no one, however great may be his genius, can produce a genuine work of art. As well might we expect a poem from one who can neither read nor write. I could never satisfy myself with an ideal work in a hurry. The human form is infinite. It is the “ Image of God ; ” and I have found that, do my best, there was always a better in nature. Once knowing this, I have hesitated, and sought to find it, and this is the way to fame. One may fail, with all his care and labor, but it is the only way. Not they who have produced the most, but they who have done the best, stand foremost in the end. I never felt that I had the power to charge an hundred statues-—I exhaust myself on a few. This accounts for the fact that I found it necessary to give nearly one year’s time, in all, to the model alone of your statue of Paradise Lost. I continually found some¬ thing to be improved, and am far from presuming it to be perfect. I aimed at nobleness of form and womanly dignity of expression. She is forlorn, but does not quite despair, for she looks up im¬ ploringly. She accuses the serpent with one hand, and herself most with the other. The serpent retires, for Eve repents—she now resists evil. She is not a goddess, but a woman, a primitive woman, the mother of mankind. She has never been in society, nor is she educated. Such has been my design, but imperfectly carried out. I trust you will make due allowance. . . . I am, dear sir, faithfully your ob’t serv’t, Hiram Powers.

Paris, 1819 This very interesting publication is undoubtedly the most magnificent work that has issued from the Parisian press ; and will perpetuate the matchless collection which formerly graced the Louvre, com¬ bining, as it did, nearly all the excellence of which the various countries on the Continent could boast in painting and sculp- LIBRARY 229 ture. And although a chain of wonderful events has restored many of the brightest gems of art to their rightful owners, so much of excellence still remains that the gallery of the Louvre is yet, to the man of taste, the greatest attraction in Paris, and the very circumstance of the dispersion of so many wonderful pro¬ ductions gives additional value to the work which describes them in a collected state. It is necessary to observe that this work is not a mere collection of prints, as it contains many luminous and masterly dissertations upon the state of the arts in different ages ; observations upon the style, excellence, and defects of the various schools in painting; a minute description of every painting, etc., drawn with extreme care and correctness. 1314 Musee Royal, Recueil de gravures d’apres les plus beau Tableaux, Statues, Bas-Reliefs de la Collection Royal, par Laurent.

In it are described, first, the temples, palaces, tombs, and all the ancient monuments, many of which date from a period anterior to the Siege of Troy, all of which are represented in a series of fine views ; the manuscripts, the relics of astronomy, and paintings exhibiting scenes of private life, his¬ toric sculpture, etc. Secondly, the principal modern buildings, and every important fact relative to the present state of Egypt.
