 ANTOINE CHINTREUIL 
 
 IJorn at Pointdc-Vaux (1814-187.5). Chevalier of the Legion 
 of Honor. Pupil of Corot. 
 
 One of Cliintre'.iil's pictures is in the I.ouvrc. 
 
 " Mr. Cliintreiiil loves to seize that which appears iinsci/.ablc. 
 to express lint which seems ine.\|)rcssil)lc : the vcgeln''le, gcoid^'ical, 
 atmospheric comiilications attract him inevitably : his curious mind 
 and his skillful brush arc only .at case in the midst of the stranj^c 
 and unexpected; when he succeeds he creates prodigies. We re- 
 member his bcautifid picture, ' L'l'.spacc ' ; this year ' Pluic ct Solei! ' 
 li.ns no less originality, charm and grandeur." — GEORCts Lakenestre, 
 Gazette des Beaux-Arts, July, 1873. 
 
 His subjects often seem dull and uninteresting, but they arc 
 rendered with true rtistic sentiment. " The Expanse " (1869) and 
 a " Thicket with Deer " (1874) arc in the Luxembourg.

 JEAN BAPTISTE CAMILLE COROT. 
 
 Born at P.ans (1796-1875). Officer of the Legion of Honor, 
 1867. This painter studied his art against ■ u- wishes of his family, 
 and was first instructed by Michallon, after whose death he studied 
 under Victor Bertin, and passed several years in Italy. 
 
 " In originality of mind, and force, purity, and individuality of 
 afm and character, he seems to be the most considerable figure that 
 
has apiJLaicii in the arl world of IV.incc <liiriiig this century, He 
 was horn in ailhicni cirtnnislanccs, aiul was di'stincd to carry on his 
 father's Inisiiuss. lint tiie irresislahle ini|uils(s of his {;('niiis led 
 him to ii.iinliiij,' instead, and his fatlicr llien reihiced the artist's 
 income to 4,000 francs. 
 
 " It is said that one of his paintings was so liadly Iiiinf^ at tlic 
 Sah)n in 1851 that no one looked at it. Finally, out of pity for the 
 offsi)ring of his brain. Corot went and stood before it, saying, ' Men 
 are like tlies; if one alights on a dish, others will follow.' And, 
 indeed, a young man and woman soon came up and began to examine 
 the picture. 'I; is not bad : there is something in it,' said the man. 
 But she pulling him by the sleeve, said, ' It is horrid; let us go!" 
 Well, this painting, after being kept in the artist's studio for several 
 years, was sold for 700 francs, and, still later, brought 12,000 francs 
 at auction, and the purchaser was so pleased with his bargain that 
 he gave a dinner in celebration of the event I Corot's income for 
 several years averaged 200,000 francs from his profession alone. 
 He was twice decorated, first as Chevalier, then as Commander 
 of the Legion of Honor, but he never was able to wrest the grand 
 medal from the jurors of the annual exhibition, — a striking instance 
 of the caprice of fortune. However, a splendid gold medal was 
 presented to him by friends before his death. His last works 
 received their signature at his death-bed, and his last words, as his 
 hand moved against the wall with pressed fingers, as if he were 
 painting, were, ' Look how beautiful it isl 1 have never seen such 
 lovely landscapes 1 ' 
 
 "Corot stands apart. Critics call him a master. In some 
 respects he is one, who was much needed in his school, or, indeed, 
 in any other, as a counter-weight to the prevalent materialism. He 
 is no profuse colorist. Brown, pale greens, and silvery grays with 
 an occasional shade of purjjle, or a bright spot of intenser color 
 to represent flowers on drapery, are his reliance. Vegetation or 
 figures, which he uses sparsely, are thin masses on washes of color, 
 with only a shadowy resemblance to the things indicated. But Corot 
 is a poet. Nature is subjective to his mental vision. He is no scier 
 is not profound, but is sensitive, and as it were clairvoyant, seeing the 
 spirit more than the forms of things.. There is a bevyitching mystery 
 
6 
 
 ami siip-cstivcncss in liis apinchcnsion of the landscape, united to a 
 ptn.sivc joyoiisness nnd absorpiion of self in the scene, that is very 
 uncommon in iiis race. 
 
 " Twilight clwrms him [;rcaily, always silvcry-toncd and border- 
 ing on the shadowy boundary diat separates the visible from the 
 invisible, and sui;L;esting llie inscrutable. The consummate success 
 lies in his management of light. Willi him it is genius. Nature 
 knows herself in this in his jiainting, as a beautiful woman know* 
 her face in a glass. Water, which he loves next to light, glimmers 
 and sparkles under its rays. Shadows and rcAcctions are alive with 
 it." — Jakvi'.s, ///■/ T/ioug/its. 
 
 " Corot is /a;- excellence the painter of morning. He can render 
 with more felicity than anybody else the silvery light on dewy fields, 
 the vague foliage of trees mirrored in calm water. He was not fond 
 of the noonday light, and it was always in the earliest morning that 
 he went out to paint from nature."— RENfc MfcNARD, Fort/olio, 
 October, 1875.

 EDOUARD FRERE. 
 
 i8i(>-i88f). 
 
 Born at Paris, 1819. Chevalier of the Legion of Honor. I'upil 
 of Dclaroche. He made his debut at the Salon in 1843. ^^'^ earliest 
 works were popular, and through engravings were widely known. 
 
 At the Johnston sale, New York, 1876, " Industry" (13 by ti), 
 from the Wolfe sale in 18G3, brought $895; and "Preparing for 
 Church" (22 by iS), $2,400. The latter is now in the Corcoran 
 Gallery, Washington. At a London sale, in 1876, "The Lesson ' 
 sold for X241. At the Gillott sale, London, 1872, " The Orphan's 
 First Prayer" brought 655 guineas. 
 
 " It was marvellous to the critics that this character had come out 
 of the studio of Delaroche. The stately swan had hatched out a wild 
 creature, which took to the woods immediately. As the wood birds 
 take their color from the ground and brown leaves, so there was a 
 countrified look about this pupil of Dclaroche; but the results were 
 in this case certain ccu/stTor which Parisian critics could not mis- 
 take. He painted the country children in all their performances and 
 amusements, in a way that made him the Columbus of a before 
 undiscovered world around the capital." — Harper's Magaiine, 
 November, 1871. 
 
 With the kind permission of Mr. Ruskin we append his criticisms 
 of some little pictures by Friirc, exhibited in 1857 : —

 HENRI HARPIGNIES. 
 
 Born at Valenciennes, iSnj. Chcvalierof the Legion of Honor- 
 Medal at Philadelphia. Pupil of Achard. He visited Italy, and 
 made his debut at the Salon of 1353. The first picture which really 
 showed his talent was that of 1861, " The Edge of a Wood on the 
 Hanks of the AUier." In 1863 his works were refused admission to 
 the Salon, and the Artist was so angry that in a moment he destroyed 
 his picture of "Wild Ducks," which had cost him months of labor. 
 In 1876 his " Evening in tho Roman Campagna" received a medal, 
 which was so unanimously voted him that it in a sense repaired the 
 slight he had received.. This picture is at the Luxembourg. 
 
 *' Harpignies is always the poet, as one knows. Perhaps he 
 has never been more characteristic in manner. Perhaps his writing 
 has never been more personal, his design more ample, and at the 
 same time more correct. He is always one of those who impose 
 themselves upon us rather than seduce. He has a little will in his

 pictiiics with cows. At the Cottier .sale. New York, 1878, " Pastures 
 in Holland '' sold for $1,500. His " Seaweed Gatherers,"' belonging 
 to Thomas G. Applcton, and llic " Forester's Team, — Frosty 
 Morning, Holland," belonging to 15. Schlesingcr, were exhibited at 
 the Mechanics' Fair in Boston in 1878. At the Paris Exposition, 
 the same year, was his " Landscape with Sheep,— Winter."— Died 
 
 May, 18S8. 
 
 Mauve's draughtsmanship is sound, his brushwork full of gusto 
 and expression, his color quite his own ; to a right sense of nature 
 and a mastery of certain atmospheric effects he unites a genuine 
 strain of poetry. In pure landscape he is often excellent : he paints 
 It with a brilliant combination of knowledge and feeling. His treat- 
 ment of animals is at once judicious and affectionate: but he has. 
 recognized that they too are creatures of character and sentiment, 
 and he loves to paint them in relations to each other and to man. 
 He is careful to render them in relation to their aericl surroundings.

 ADOLPHE MONTICELLI. 
 
 1824-1886. 
 
 Born at Marseilles. Pupil of Raymond Aubert, who made him 
 a devotee of line, a fanatic cf Raphael and Ingres. His conversion 
 began be(orc a IJelacroix. and was completed by the intluence and 
 example of Diaz, in whose neighborhood, in Paris, he lived or some 
 years, and whose manner he mimicked with such spirit and inlelli- 
 trence that his work was often sold for his master's. . . ■ • ■ . 
 With Monticelli the be-all and end-all of painting was color. A 
 craftsman with singular accomplishments to tint and tone, he yet 
 .subordinated drawing, character, observation-three-fourths of Art.

 Pel'ou!e is undoubtedly the Coro^ of the day. He does r.ot 
 
 strive after certain effects as did Corot, but paints Nature, Mom- 
 
 gjNoon and Night ; hence he is the more natural pa.nter of the 
 
 two- we, however, incline more to his, early morning, wet. ju.cy. 
 
 and misty effects, in these he is certainly without a peer.
