Lawyer's Consultation 10 Vandyck, Sir A. Flemish schoo Portrait Anthony Vandyck, the friend and pupil of Rubens, is justly termed the "Prince of Portrait Painters." In this de- partment he is allowed to have but one superior Titian. Vandyck was born at Antwerp in 1599, and died in London in 1641. The portrait before us is evidently that of some scholar and divine of the seventeenth century. 1 1 Wyck, Thomas Flemish School The Dentist Thomas Wyck was born at Harlem in 1616. He excelled in painting small figures, shipping, the interiors of chemists' laboratories, etc. "His pictures are well composed, his color- ing warm and transparent, and his pencil bold and free." He died in 1686. 12 Bager, Johann Daniel Portrait 13 Reni, GuidO (1575-1642) Bolognese School Egyptian Magdalene Guido Reni, the greatest of the scholars of the Caracei, was born at Bologna in 1575. "His earlier pictures display a striving after the grand and terrible, with a powerful effect of light and shadow, similar to that observed in the works of Caravaggio; but his later style, by which he is best known, is remarkable for its sweetness and tenderness. His heads show the influence of a careful study of the antique." Guido died in 1642. 14 Vandyck, Sir A.

Munich The Exhortation 20 Bush, Norton San Francisco Under the Equator (Owned by Ladies' Musem Association) Norton Bush was born in Rochester, N. Y., in 1833. He studied under James Harris, an English landscape painter, and later under Cropsey and Hart, of New York. He came to California in 1853, residing in San Francisco and Martinez. He traveled extensively in Panama, Nicaragua and Peru, where he laid the foundation of his reputation as a painter of tropical scenery. One of his best known works is "Mount Diablo" in the rooms of the Society of Pioneers, San Fran- cisco. He received a number of medals from various State and local organizations. Mr. Bush died in Oakland, Cal., in 1894. 21 Glieman, A. Dresden Girl and Pet Dog 22 Bienaime, J. Paris The Dangerous Neighbor CROCKER ART GALLERY 23 F. Roffiaen, and Eug. Verboeckhoven Landscape With Animals Eugene Verboeckhoven was born in 1799 at Warneton, a small village in Belgium. He is a member of the Antwerp Academy, an officer of the Order of Leopold, a Chevalier of the Legion of Honor, Commander of the Portuguese Order of Christ, and Chevalier of the Order of Merit of Bavaria. Many painters who have risen to eminence have acquired a knowledge of the art in his studio at Brussels. 24 Roux, Charles Munich Cattle Piece 25 Vandyck, Sir A. (after) Madonna and Child. 26 Durer, Albert German School St. Joseph. Albert Durer, the painter of this head of St. Joseph and its companion picture, "The Virgin Mary," was born at Nurnberg in 1471. He distinguished himself in youth by his exquisite carvings, and subsequently adopted painting as his profession. Albert Durer has been styled the father of the German School of Painting and the Prince of Artists. He died in 1528. 27 Durer, Albert German School The Virgin Mary 28 Veronese, PaolO < 1 532- 1 583) (after) Venetian School Christ Bearing the Cross The original painting is in the Dresden Gallery. 29 Dietrich, Franz Dresden Oedipus and Antigone On discovery that he had been guilty of the double crime of parricide and incest, Oedipus in horror put out his eyes SACRAMENTO, CALIF. and exiled himself. Led by his daughter Antigone, he pro- ceeds to the grove of the Furies at Colones, where, amid thunder-peals, he is removed from earth. Advancing along a dreary and rocky road, Antigone, in a white garment almost completely covered by violet drapery, which veils without concealing her beautiful form, is putting aside the briars from her father's path with the wand in her right hand; her head is turned towards Oedipus, who on his daughter's left side and holding her hand, advances with bowed head and the slow, uncertain step of blindness. The dark red drapery of Oedipus contrasts admirably with his silvery, flowing hair and beard. 30 Martusteig, F. weimar Ulrich Von Hutten Seeking Shelter Ulrich Von Hutten, born in Hesse Cassel, in the year 1488, was placed at the age of eleven in the monastery of Fulda, with the intention of his becoming a monk. When fifteen he ran away from the cloister to the University of Erfurt, where he joined the anti-monkish party. He sub- sequently became a great scholar and reformer. He died in Switzerland in 1523. No. 30 represents him seeking the refuge provided for him by Zwinglius, in the house of a clergyman named Schuegg, on the island of Ufuan, in the Lake of Zurich. 31 Adam, Benno (after) Town Quarters The original of this picture is in the Royal Bavarian collection at Schleissheim. 32 TelX Dresden Mary, Queen of Scots, and Her Husband, with Rizzio 33 Muhr, Julius Munich Banquet of Queen Joanna Near Naples At a table, covered with a damask cloth, on which are flowers, wines and sweetmeats, ladies and cavaliers are seated in various attitudes, all more or less careless. In the CROCKER ART GALLERY foreground, to the right of the spectator, sits Queen Joanna, a fair woman, of beautiful form and feature. She is clothed in white satin; some drapery of gold brocade is thrown across her lap, which is full of flowers, and the tip of her dainty attired foot rests on a richly covered stool. Her head is turned towards the gentlemen on her left, Prince Louis of Taranto, who, with his right hand on his heart, is evi- dently making some tender protestation. Behind the chairs of the Queen and her favorite stand two Moorish boys, holding fans of peacock feathers. To the left, a youth and maiden, in the costume of the Italian peasantry, are execut- ing a national dance to the music of bagpipe and flute. In the background attendants are bringing in fruit, and on the extreme right of the picture a musician, seated on a stone fence, and two lazzaroni are eagerly gazing upon the festive scene. Between the vine-wreathed pillars, at the back of the table, we have a view of Vesuvius, and the blue waters of the far-famed Bay of Naples. Queen Joanna reigned from 1343 to 1382. She was a beautiful, but unprincipled woman, who caused the murder of her first husband in 1345, and was married three times afterwards. She was suffocated by command of her cousin and adopted son, Charles of Durazzo, who was proclaimed King of Naples in 1382. 34 Winterstein, E.

He acquired SACRAMENTO, CALIF European fame by two great works, which of their kind are unri/alled: The "Death of Wallenstein," and "Nero Walking Among the Ruins of Rome." He has numerous followers and imitators, among them Lindenschmidt and Toby Rosen- thai. 39 Unknown English school Boy and Falcon 40 Bergen The Flageolet Player Kockert, J Munich St. John's Eve. 2 Dietrich, Franz Dresden Proclamation of Peace After the Thirty Years' War 43 Siebold, C. 1759 Maria Theresa, Empress of Austria 44 Unknown Cavalry Fight 45 Veronese, Paolo (after) Abduction of Europa 46 Burde, F. Benin Preaching in the Woods 47 DeKeyser (after) Raphael Painting the Duchess Joanna of Arragon 48 Van Der Werff, Adrian (after) Magdalene The small painting in the Royal Pinakothek in Munich, of which this is a copy, is considered the best work of the master. 10 CROCKER ART GALLERY 49 Salvator Rosa (after) Portrait 50 Holbein, Hans (after) Portrait of Martin Luther 51 Van Aelst, Wilhelm Dutch school Roses and Butterfly 52 Meissner, Ernst Cattle and Sheep 53 Minjon, P. H. Brussels Street in Ghent 54 Muhlig, Meno Dresd Royal Hunting Feast 55 Victor, Jan (ieoo-1670) outct Moses in the Desert But little is known of the private history of this able artist. He was of Flemish origin, and was born about the year 1600. He studied in the school of Rubens, but sub- sequently adopted the manner of Rembrandt, and so closely does he approach that master, that many works attributed to Rembrandt, doubtless owe their paternity to Jan Victor, and only a duly qualified connoisseur can discriminate be- tween the two. Victor, or as he sometimes signed his pictures, Fictoor, usually chose his subjects from the Old Testament. He died about 1670. 56 Hill, Thomas San Francisco Grand Canyon of the Sierras Yosemite Valley, California Thomas Hill was born in Birmingham, England, in 1829. His family came to America in 1840, and settled at Taunton, Mass. He early showed artistic talent, his first important SACRAMENTO, CALIF. 11 work being painted in Philadelphia in 1853, at which time he was a member of the old Graphic Club and also of the Academy, studying in the life class, of which Rothermel was President. In 1853, he took his first medal at the Maryland Institute, Baltimore. In 1861, he came to Cali- fornia for the benefit of his health. Opening a studio in San Francisco, he took the first prize of the Art Union for his "Trial Scene in the Merchant of Venice." He went to Paris in 1866, and studied with Paul Meyerheim, after which he devoted himself almost exclusively to landscape. Taking up his residence in Boston in 1867, he painted several notable pictures, amongst others "The Yosemite Valley" and "White Mountain Notch." Ill health compelled him to return to California, where he was soon able to resume the successful career began in the East. At the Centennial Exposition, Philadelphia, 1876, he was awarded the first medal for land- scape painting, the subjects being "Donner Lake" and "Yosemite Valley" which are now in the gallery of the Leland Stanford, Jr., University. Another of his best works, "The Great Canon of the Sierras," is in the Crocker Gallery (No. 56). This picture gained the New York Pallette Club medal. In addition to these honors, Mr. Hill has received a number of other medals. 57 Titian, Vecelli (after) Lavinia, Titian's Daughter 58 Bretschneider, Edward Aitenburg Cordelia and King Lear in Prison 59 Jordeans, Jacob (1593) Flemish school The Elated Troubadour 60 TeiX Dresden Trial of Charles the First of England 61 Muhllg, MenO Dresden Return From the Hunt 62 Rubens, Peter Paul (after) The Garland of Fruit 12 CROCKER ART GALLERY 63 Weber, Antoine PHS The Response 64 DeKeyser, Theodore (after) Vandyck Bidding Adieu to Rubens 65 Reinhold, Bernhard Dresden Young Mason Eating His Dinner 66 Batoni, Pompeo Girolamo (after) Magdalene The famous picture in the Dresden Gallery, of which this is a copy, is conceded by all to be Batoni's masterpiece. Batoni was born at Lucca, Italy, in 1708, and died in 1781. 67 Unknown The Declaration 68 Ostade, Isaac Van (i6i2) Women Fighting 69 Unknown Fisherman 70 Pluddemann (after) Barbarossa 71 Murillo, Bartholome Esteban Spanish school A Gypsy In this picture the connoisseur recognizes at a glance the master hand of Murillo. The squalid attire and surroundings of the weird, witch-like creature, the attendant ape, fit com- panion for a being who appears scarcely human in her repulsive hideousness, are portrayed with wonderful art and expression, and reveal the touch of him, in whom "all the glories of Spanish art were united, as it were, into one focus." Murillo, like Rubens, the only master of his age that can be SACRAMENTO, CALIF. 13 compared with him in talent, "possessed an almost in- credible fertility, a widely extended reputation, and most amiable qualities." Bartholome Esteban Murillo was born at the little town of Pilas, near Seville, in 1618, and died in 1685. 72 Kaulbach, Hermann The First Confession Munich 73 Scholtz, Julius German Peasant Wedding 74 Maier, A. Veteran Teaching His Boy 75 Wolf, F. The Love Letter 76 Marc, W. Equality of Rank Munich 77 Hahn, Wilhelm San Francisco Market Scene, Sansome Street, San Francisco 78 Hubner, Carl Dusseidorf The Village on Fire In this magnificent painting, Hubner has represented in the most vivid colors all the horrors of a conflagration. 79 Unknown Russian School Pope of Greek Church 80 Veronese, Paolo (after) The Marriage in Cana The original of this painting is in the Dresden Gallery. 14 CROCKER ART GALLERY 81 Quellinus, Erasmus Flemish school St. Antonius Quellinus was born at Antwerp in 1607, and died in 1678. 82 Choulant, Theodore Dresden View in Venice 83 Aerttinger Invasion of Persia by the Russians Under Prince Pascovitch in 1829 84 Hasenclever, John Peter The Examination of Hieronymus Jobs 85 Achenbach, C. Festival and Fireworks by Moonlight at Resina, Italy 86 Landseer (after) The Horse Sheer 87 Risse, R. The Sleeping Beauty 88 Baer, Prof. Dresden The Anabaptists In front of his dwelling, in Munster, Johann von Leyden is baptizing the daughter of his prophet, Dusentschuer, whom he afterwards married. On his left stand his co-regents- Rollman, the priest, holding the book, "de libertate Chris- tiana," under his arm, and Knipperdolling, in executioner's garb, with the sword. Behind these appear two of his twelve dukes, the co-regents of the world. In the foreground, a kneeling monk, seized with fanaticism, is pressing forward to the anabaptism. In obedience to the King's command, that all gold and silver is to be delivered up to him, a maiden is bringing her trinkets and valuables to lay at the soverign's SACRAMENTO, CALIF. 15 feet. Attired in her white baptismal robes, Dusentschuer's daughter, the picture of innocence and devotion, kneels be- fore Johann, and receives upon her bowed head the water of anabaptism. The boy, holding the vessel of water, was a natural son of the Bishop of Munster, and in his captivity served as page to the King. His garments are blue and brown, to typify that his King is Lord of Heaven and Earth. Behind the maiden kneels Dusentschuer, the second John the Baptist. Instead of a sheepskin, a wolfskin covers his shoulders, and on his banner is inscribed the sanguinary motto of the Anabaptists: "dat Wort is Flesch worden." By his side appears Hilla, the new Judith, in a state of ecstasy. Behind her follow groups of the people, represent- ing Stupidity, Remorse, Indolence, and Anguish of Mind. Armed men mingle in the crowd, for the protection of the newly established Zion. Albot, Burgomaster of Munster, and his wife, both heartily grieved at the new regime of the fanatics, are seen at the window immediately overlooking this scene. The Ludgheri Church is visible in the background, but as if to carry out the words of Scripture, that whatso- ever exalteth itself shall be humbled, its spire is broken. Pictures and books are being burned in the square in front of the church, for New Zion has her King and her Prophets. The above description of the painting "The Anabaptists" was written by the poet Julius Mosen. 89 Genz, W. Benin Egyptian Harem Taking a Walk. 90 Eckhout, G. Van Den (1621-1674) Christ at Emmaus 91 Thompson, H. London One of the First Smokers 92 Reyntjens, H. E. Paris A Jolly Party 16 CROCKER ART GALLERY 93 Van der Werf , Peter Dutch school Medor and Angelica (From Ariosto's "Orlando Furioso") Peter Van der Werf was born in the vicinity of Rotter- dam in 1665. A pupil of his elder brother, Adrian, he copied the latter's works in the same tone of coloring and delicate manner of penciling. In painting from his own designs he imitated his brother so closely that his pictures have some- times passed for Adrian's works, although they are inferior to them. He died in 1718. 94 Nahl, ChaS. C. San Francisco The Love Chase It was customary with the Arabs, when a young man wooed the daughter of a Sheik, that the father should give his best horse to the maiden, and another to her suitor. If the girl was favorably disposed toward the intended bride- groom, she would rein in her steed, thus giving him an opportunity of overtaking her; if, on the contrary, she dis- liked him, she urged her horse to its utmost speed. This picture represents a fair lady, evidently extremely willing to be captured, and giving her lover every possible oppor- tunity of winning the prize. In the background are seated the respective fathers of the young couple, while, according to Arab custom, a camel stands ready to carry home the bride. 95 Vollmar Munich Paying His Addresses 96 Rembrandt (School of) Portrait 97 Gille, Robert Portrait 98 Mengs, Cav. Antonio Raffaelle German Portrait of a Nobleman SACRAMENTO, CALIF. 17 99 Hiddemann, F. Munich Return Home From America 101 Van de Velde, Adrian Dutch school Cattle Piece Adrian Van de Velde was born at Amsterdam in 1639. "He was a scholar of Jan Wynants, and ranks almost as high as Paul Potter; for if inferior to him in the energy of con- ception displayed in his cattle, in plastic modelling and breadth of solid execution, he excels him in variety of sub- ject, in taste for composition, delicacy of drawing, and in a certain warmth and sweetness of feeling." He has, however, this in common with Paul Potter that he was a distinguished artist by the age of fourteen, and that he died young, namely, at the age of thirty-two. 103 De Cawer, L. Ghent Terrier and Puppies 104 Van Der Werf, Peter Dutch school Diana and a Nymph 105 Unknown Children 106 Muhlig, MenO Dresden Caught in the Act 107 Bush, N. San Francisco Soda Springs, Sierra Nevada Mountains. 108 Potter, Paul Dutch school Landscape with Animals Paul Potter was born at Enckhuysen in 1625. He made such astonishing progress in the study of painting, that h 18 CROCKER ART GALLERY ranked, at the age of fifteen, as a finished artist. "Of the masters who have striven pre-eminently after truth, he is, beyond all question, one of the greatest that ever lived." He died at Amsterdam in 1654. 109 Van Oer, Theobald Dresden Flight of Maria D'Este, Queen of James II. of England from Whitehall 110 Neefs, Peter, the Elder Flemish school Church Interior Painting interiors of Gothic churches was the chosen province of this painter. His style is similar to that of his master, Steenwyck, whom he, however, excels in power and warmth of tone. Neefs was born at Antwerp in 1570, and died in 1651. Old German School, Fifteenth Century Holy Family 112 Leyden, Lucas Van Dutch school Abraham Offering Isaac Luc Jacobez, called Lucas van Leyden, may justly be considered the Patriarch of the Dutch School. Born at Leyden in 1494, "he followed that realistic tendency, in the treatment of sacred subjects, which Huber van Eyck had so grandly tracked, and lowered it greatly from its previous elevation. His heads, for instance, are generally of a very ugly character; at the same time, his form of art found sympathy in the feeling of the period." He died in 1533. 113 Backhuysen, L. Dutch school Shipwreck Ludolf Backhuysen, born at Embden in 1631, commenced his art studies only in his eighteenth year, and devoted himself with great ardor to marine painting, his representa- tions of the "fearful element" speedily raising his reputation SACRAMENTO, CALIF. 19 higher than even that of W. Van de Velde. Backhuysen died at Amsterdam in 1709. 114 Litschaur, K. J.

Munich Blacksmith Shop in the Bavarian Alps 20 CROCKER ART GALLERY 126 Luini, Bernardino (i48o-i53o) Milanese school Madonna and Child Bernardino Luini was born at Luino, on Lago Maggiore, about the year 1480. He was a disciple of Leonardo da Vinci, and the most celebrated imitator of that master's style. Some uncertainty exists concerning the exact date of his death, but it was subsequent to the year 1530. Pro- fessor Ruskin said of Luini, in his Oxford Lecture on Sculpture, that "he alone of mediaeval artists could combine beauty and saintliness." 127 Siebold, C.

Portrait 22 CROCKER ART GALLERY 145 Amerighi, Michel Angelo (after) The False Players Michel Angelo Amerighi, surnamed Caravaggio, was born at Milan in 1569, and died in 1609. He has made him- self famous for the impressive truth of his productions, and his pictures may to a certain extent, be regarded as typical of his life, portraying, as they do, more especially the passionate and gloomy emotions of the human heart. 146 Bramer, Leonard Dutch school Crowning of Christ "And they stripped Him, and put on Him a scarlet robe. And when they had plaited a crown of thorns they put it upon His head, and they bowed the knee before Him and mocked Him, saying: 'Hail, King of the Jews!'" Matthew XXVII, 28, 29. Bramer's style resembles that of Rembrandt. He was born at Delft in 1596; the year of his death is unknown. 147 Vlgnali, JaCOpO Florentine School Name Unknown. Vignali was born at Florence in 1592. Although a disciple of Matteo Rossetti, his style bears more resemblance to that of Guercino. Among the many scholars who do honor to the teaching of Jacopo Vignali, the name of Carlo Dolce stands pre-eminent. He died in 1664. 148 Heimerdinger, Frederick Hamburg The Hunter's Cabin 149 Eyerson, A.

He chose the various forms of peasant life as the chief subjects of his art. 153 Brekelencamp, Querinus Dutch school The Musicians This artist lived about 1650. Although a scholar of Gerard Douw, he did not follow his master's style, but formed one of his own which partook of the manner of both Rembrandt and Douw. His pictures represent usually in- teriors of Dutch cottages with figures. 154 Beerstraten, T. Van Dutch school Winter Landscape in Holland 155 PoUSSin, Nicholas French School Landscape Near Rome Poussin, a leading master of the French School of Art, is celebrated for his landscapes with scriptural and classical figures. He was born at Andely, in Normandy, in 1594, and died at Rome in 1665, at the advanced age of seventy-one. 156 De Bruyn, Theodore French schoi Landscape with Cattle Theodore de Bruyn, a native of France or Switzerland, flourished in the middle of the 18th century. He is noted as a painter of landscape and cattle, and also imitated bas reliefs very successfully. An example of his skill in the latter department may be seen in the chapel of Greenwich Hospital. 24 CROCKER ART GALLERY 157 Jardin, Karel Du Cavalier in Cellar Dutch School This delightful artist was born at Amsterdam in 1640. After leaving the studio of Nicholas Berghem, whose ablest pupil he was most unquestionably, he proceeded to Rome to perfect himself there, by further study of the great masters. He soon rose to distinction, his pictures being more highly esteemed in the "ancient city" than those of any of his countrymen. He died in Venice in the year 1678. 158 Andrea, Del Sarto Florentine school Madonna and Child Andrea Vannuchi, surnamed del Sarto, was born at Florence, in 1488, and died of the plague in 1530. 159 Heinz, J.

He was born at Naples in 1632, and died at the same place in 1705. 172 Rlbera, JoSe (1589-1656) Spanish School Magdalena Josef Ribera, called II Spagnaletto, was born at Xativa in 1589. In due time he became a pupil of Caravaggio, whose powerful and effective style possessed a particular attraction for Ribera. "His genius led him to paint gloomy and austere subjects, which were peculiarly acceptable to the Neapolitans and Spaniards, such as hermits and saints emaciated by abstinance and severity." Ribera died at Naples in 1656. 2(> CROCKER ART GALLERY 173 Schalken, Godfrey (1643-1706) Woman at the Fireplace 174 Carracci, Ludovico Boiognese school Christ and the Samaritan Woman Represents the well-known scene at Jacob's Well.

Leonardo's studies had not been confined to painting; he was an able sculptor and architect and an accomplished poet and musician. Joined to such vigor of intellect, was an elegance of figure and grace of manner which made him beloved by all, and soon spread his fame through Italy.

"His earlier pictures display a striving after the grand and terrible, with a powerful effect of light and shadow, similar to that observed in the works of Caravaggio; but his later style, by which he is best known, is remarkable for its sweetness and tenderness. His heads show the influence of a careful study of the antique." Guido died in 1642. "Z" Lorraine, Claude French school Landscape Claude Gelee, called Lorraine, was born at Champagne, in Lorraine, in the year 1600, and died at Rome, November 58 CROCKER ART GALLERY 21st, 1682. The Prince of Landscape Painters "presents to the beholder such an infinity of objects, and conveys him over such a 'variety of hill and dale, and misty mountains,' that the eye may be said to be constrained as it wanders, to repose itself on the way." 447 Reni, Guido (after) Lucretia 448 Reni, Guido (after) Cleopatra 440 Ryckaert, David deis-ier?) Flemish school Beer House Scene This artist was born at Antwerp in 1615, and received his first art instruction from his father, who was considered the ablest landscape painter of his time. Young Ryckaert soon rose to distinction and enjoyed the special favor of Archduke Leopold, who appointed him in 1651 Director of the Academy at Antwerp. He usually painted peasant festivities, musical parties or the interiors of chemists' laboratories. David Ryckaert's pictures are not often met with out of Belgium, where they are to be found in the best collections. He died in 1677. 450 Crocker, Miss Katie Sacramento Magdalena (copy) 451 Hutin, Charles French school Portrait of an Old Lady This artist flourished at Paris at about the year 1760. 452 Mieris, Francis, the Elder Dutch school Tavern Scene This artist, the son of a goldsmith, was born at Leyden in 1635. Ambitious of imitating the style of Gerard Douw, SACRAMENTO, CALIF. 59 he entered his studio, and soon became not only the ablest of his disciples, but is even considered by many the superior of that master. His works are exceedingly rare. He died in 1681. 453 Unknown Hessian Country Blacksmith Shop 454 Rembrandt, Van Rhyn Judith and Holofernes Rembrandt Van Rhyn, born in 1606, was the son of a miller of Leyden, and "from the dark interior of his father's mill, partially lighted from above, in which he passed his infancy and boyhood, he is supposed to have caught the first idea of those strong contrasts of light and shadow, which he carried to such perfection in his art." 455 Lely, Sir Peter German school Portrait This eminent portrait painter was born in Westphalia in 1617, On the death of Van Dyck in 1640, he determined to visit England, where he soon acquired high favor and distinction. Through William, Prince of Orange, he was introduced to the notice of Charles I., whose portrait he painted, as well as those of the Prince and Princess of Orange. Through all the tragical events that followed, Sir Peter Lely remained in England, his fame unimpaired. Cromwell sat to him, and after the Restoration, he had the honor of painting King Charles II., by whom he was knighted. Sir Peter died in 1680 and was buried in Covent Garden, where a monument with his bust, by Gibbon, is erected to his memory. 456 Canaletto, Antonio Venetian school S. Marco Piazza, Venice That few cities are better known to the public than the "Queen of the Adriatic," is principally due to the brush of Canaletto, who has painted numerous scenes on her canals 60 CROCKER ART GALLERY and lagunes. A complete work, consisting of his views in Venice, was published in that city in 1742. Canaletto was born in Venice in 1697 and died in 1768. 457 Caracci (School of) Venus and Cupid 458 Junker, W.

The scholar and able disciple of Gerard Seghers, he left that master to pursue his studies in Rome at the Academy of Andrea Sacchi. His best performances are his easel pictures, representing fairs, huntings, markets and carnival festivities. He was a favorite of Charles Emanuel, Duke of Savoy, who invited him to the Court of Turin, and conferred upon him the order of the Knighthood of St. Maurice. He died in 1664. 462 Meissner, E.

Boiognese school Oriental Lady Domenico Zampieri, called II Domenichino, was born at Bologna, in 1581. He was a fellow student of Guido and Albano in the Academy of the Caracci, where he soon dis- tinguished himself greatly. Together with Albano, he after- wards visited Parma, Modena and Reggio, to study the works of Correggio and Parmegiano; and on their return they both finally settled in Rome. Domenichino's Communion of St. Jerome, painted for the principal altar of S. Girolamo della Carita, was considered the finest picture at Rome, after the Transfiguration, by Raffaelle. He died in 1641. 467 Holbein, HanS German School This distinguished painter, engraver and designer, is generally said to have been born at Basle in 1498, although according to others, he is a native of Augsburg. However this may be, young Holbein passed his youth in the former place. In 1526 he visited England, where he was received with the greatest kindness by Sir Thomas More, through whose influence he was introduced to the notice of King Henry VIII., who took him into great favor, and appointed him painter to the Court, with apartments in the palace and a liberal salary. His works are very numerous; the greatest and best are in England, where he executed them. He died of the plague in London in 1554. 469 Hess, Peter Von (after) Peter von Hess was born at Dusseldorf in 1792 of a family of artists. He acquired the soubriquet of the "Horace Vernet of Central Germany," from his numerous battle pieces, and is name is familiar to all who are acquainted with modern German art.

On leav- ing that master's studio he set out for Italy; but on his way through France he met with so much encouragement in Paris, that, abandoning his original project, he decided to remain in the latter city. After several years' residence there he returned to Bruges > where he received more commissions than he could execute. His principal work is a series of fifteen pictures of the Life of our Savior, painted for the Church of the Dominicans at Bruges. He died in his native city in 1714.

In 1827 he became a pupil of Sehirmer, the Professor of Landscape at the Dusseldorf Academy, and acquired in a few years a high rank as an architectural landscape painter. "A coasting voyage which he made with his father in 1832 and 1833, by way of Rotterdam, Scheveningen and Amster- dam, to Hamburg, and thence to Riga, opened new fields for the exercise of his pencil in the grand wildness and mag- nificent surging of the Northern Sea, his acquaintance with which he two years afterwards matured and extended by an expedition to Denmark, Norway and Sweden." He subse- quently traveled in the Tyrol, and in 1843 went to Italy, where he remained two years. "His pictures are characterized by the charm of never ending variety, grand mountain passes and lovely home idylls, the solitary fiord, forest lands, waterfalls and marine views with shipping, all seem under diverse aspects of season some by day, others by moonlight. To sum up, the tendency of Achenbach's genius is realistic in the highest and best sense of the word." Foremost among his scholars are his brother Oswald and A. Flamm-Andreas Achenbach obtained the great gold medals of Belgium and Prussia, and the small one of France. He is also Knight of the Belgium Order of Leopold, and a member of the Academies' of Berlin, Amsterdam and Antwerp. Died 1905. 523 Gebler, E. Girl Feeding Sheep. 524 Kergel, L.

Later, he made the works of Paul Potter and Karel Dujardin his models, and his pictures painted in the style of these masters enrich the choicest collections in Holland. He died at The Hague in 1839. This picture is dated 1820. 533 Potter, Paul (1625-1654) Dutch School Cattle and Sheep 534 Zimmerman, R. S. (after) The Rebuff SACRAMENTO, CALIF. 69 535 Ponte, Giacomo Da (Bassano) Dance of Cupids Giacomo da Ponte, usually called II Bassano^ was born at Bassano in 1510. He first studied under his father, Francesco, who was the founder of a school bearing his name; and later, in Venice, under Bonifagio Veneziani. He is supposed by some to have been a pupil of Titian, but this is doubtful, although at one time he was a close follower of that master's style. After acquiring considerable celebrity in Venice, his father's death compelled him to return to Bassano, where he spent the remainder of his life. He painted historical subjects as well as landscapes and portraits, and executed a marvelous number of pictures. Among his greatest works may be mentioned the Entombing of Christ, in the Seminario of Padua; the Nativity, now in the Louvre; and his Sacrifice of Noah, in the Santa Maria Maggiore at Venice, which latter was so much admired by Titian that he desired to have a copy of it for his own studio. Although the works of Bassano are not exempt from defects, and although they have been severely criticised, it is certain that they met with the highest praise from Titian, Paul Veronese (who intrusted to him the instruction of his son), Tintoretto, and Annibale Caracci, who is said to have been so deceived by a book which Bassano had painted upon a table, that he reached out his hand to take it up. Bassano had many pupils, and educated four of his sons to his profession. He died in 1592. 536 Beschey, B. Flemish school Girls Picking Flowers Frightened by a Snake Balthasar Beschey was born at Antwerp in 1708, and was the pupil of a comparatively unknown artist named Peter Strick. In 1755 he became one of the six Directors of the Academy of his native city. He died in 1776. 537 Van Dyck, Sir A. (after) Danae 54O Cranack, S.

He painted scenes of drunken revelry with considerable humor, and sometimes represented incantations, spectres and similar subjects with ready invention and ingenuity. He was well patronized in England, and died in London in 1704. 542 Beerestraten, A. Van Dutch school A Castle in Holland The works of Beerestraten are very scarce. Some of his best, representing views of Dutch and Italian seaports, are in the Museum at Antwerp and the Gallery at Dresden. 543 Ostade, Isaac Van (1617-1654) Tavern Scene 544 Unknown Landscape 545 Manseau, A.

After studying in his native city he went to Italy, where he formed an intimacy with Giorgio Vasari, whom he assisted in his SACRAMENTO. CALIF. 71 works at the Vatican. From Italy he repaired, at the invita- tion of Maximilian I., Elector of Bavaria, to Munich, where he spent the remainder of his life. Under the arcade of the Long Gallery of the Hofgarten, in that city, he painted a series of frescos, representing the deeds of Otto von Wittelsbach, and the Departure of the Emperor Ludwig from Rome in 1327. Although these paintings are now defaced, the designs are preserved in the tapestries worked from them, and in the prints engraved from the tapestries by Amling. The exact date of De Witte's death is not known, but it probably occurred about 1620. 548 Titian, Vecelli (after) Titian's Mistress 549 Fontana, Lavinia Boiognese school Madonna and Child A beautiful picture by this eminent artist, the daughter and pupil of Prospero Fontana. She was born at Bologna in 1552. Lauzi says that she possessed wonderful sweetness of penciling, particularly after she had studied the works of the Caracci, and that some of her portraits might have passed for those of Guido. She died at Rome in 1614. 550 Nieulant, Adrian Van Flemish school Orpheus Before Pluto This artist, a native of Antwerp, flourished in the latter part of the sixteenth century. He painted principally land- scapes, into which he introduced small figures with consid- erable skill. He died probably about 1601. 551 Ruysdael, Jacob Dutch school Waterfall This artist, justly considered one of the most eminent landscape painters of the Dutch School, was born at Harlem about 1636, and is said to have received his earliest instruc- tion from Nicholas Berghem.

David (after) Testing the Wine 569 Van Der Does, J. Dutch school Sheep and Goats Jacob Van der Does, born at Amsterdam in 1623, was for some time a scholar of Nicholas Moyaert. On proceeding to Italy, he was, however, strongly influenced by the pictures of Peter van Laer (called Bamboccio), and attaching him- self to the style of that master, he painted similar subjects with great success. He executed landscapes, chiefly of Italian character, enlivened with sheep and goats, "which are touched with a precision and beauty of pencil that has hardly seemed surpassed." Van der Does is said to have been of a gloomy, morose and fretful temperament, and his works seem to partake of the gloominess of his character. He died at The Hague in 1673. 570 Roegge, W.

Dresden Maria Theresa at Her Husband's Tomb 572 Unknown Royal Pleasure Party 573 Neef s, Peter, the Elder Flemish school Church Interior This artist, a pupil of Henry Steenwyck, painted like his master most exquisite interiors of churches and temples.

He was born at Antwerp, about 1618 and received his art education both from his father and brother. He painted chiefly Flemish village scenes, in a style similar, although inferior, to that of the younger David. He died in 1691. 580 Liotard (after) The Chocolate Girl The original picture, in the Dresden Gallery, was painted by a Swiss artist, Jean Etienne Liotard, sometimes called "The Turk." He was born at Geneva in 1702. SACRAMENTO, CALIF. 75 581 Tenters, David, the Elder Flemish school Tavern Scene David Teniers, the Elder, was born at Antwerp in 1682, and was educated in the school of Rubens > who esteemed him highly for his promising talents. He devoted himself for some time to historical painting, and visited Italy for the purpose of studying the works of the most celebrated Italian masters; but finding that his genius led him rather to land- scape, he placed himself at Rome, under the tuition of Adam Elsheimer, with whom he remained six years. On returning to Flanders he adopted, however, a style of his own, which he practiced with the utmost success. He painted cabinet pictures of merry-makings, rural sports, fairs, festivals, etc., which he treated with much humor and ingenuity. "His works would have been considered among the happiest efforts of the art in that particular branch had they not been so much surpassed by the inimitable productions of his son." He died in 1649.

SACRAMENTO, CALIF. 87 HISTORY OF THE GALLERY Judge E. B. and Mrs. Margaret E. Crocker erected in the City of Sacramento, California, the E. B. Crocker Art Gallery 1870-1873 to gratify their tastes. They gathered most of the Art collection during their travels in Europe. The large collection of studies, drawings, etc., kept in portfolios and lockers, were secured from studios and collectors in Europe during the Franco-Prussian War. In 1884 the California Museum Association was formed to gather a museum of art, natural history mineral examples, etc., and to study matters related to the development of the resources of California. To aid in securing a hall for its purposes, it gave an Art Loan Exhibition in the Art Gallery by the kindness of Mrs. Margaret E. Crocker, widow of Judge E. B. Crocker. It was so successful that in its midst Mrs. Crocker donated to the Association the Building and all its contents. By the request of the Association Mrs. Crocker changed the gift so that it could be received by the City of Sacramento with the California Museum Association as a co-tenant and adminis- trator. The city accepted the trust and the two bodies have ever since controlled the property jointly. In honor of the donor of the Gallery the people shortly after the making of the deed, gave her a reception in the great Agricultural Pavilion, which for floral beauty, unanimity of participation and splendor of ceremony, has never been surpassed in the State. People and societies from all over the State participated and contributed to the features of the floral festival. An account of all this with paintings by California artists was bound In a unique volume of gold and Sutter Fort Oak, and with another volume bound in silver and oak containing newspaper comments on the gift and festival, presented to Mrs. Crocker. The original gift included 160 feet on O Street, by 160 on Second Street. A few years later and shortly prior to her death, Mrs. Crocker gave an additional strip on the east marked by the west line of the residence property next to the gallery. The fine collection of minerals in the gallery Is the property of the State of California. OF CAUFOMO* AT ANGELES LIBRARY UC SOUTHERN REGIONAL LIBRARY FACILITY A 000910674 1 '
