must record the death Of Jean Baptiste Isabey
at the age of SO, yet In full possession Of his intel
lectual faculties. He really great artist. He
was born at Nancy, In 1871, and came to Paris at
the age Of 10, with the ambition Of becoming an
historical painter he carried OF all the medals of
the Academy, and was about striving for the prize
which allows lie winner pension and a residence
at Rome, when bis poverty forbade him. He be-
came portrait painter, and was pre-eminently
successful He invented almost sort Of new style
Of "black drawing, which took bis name after
the exhibition Of 179s from that collection Of fam
ily portraits called La Barque d'Labey.
But his historical studies soon raised him above
the rank Of mere portrait painter, and Ii was to
his talents for the composition Of a painting that
he owed the success Of his drawings, now deposi-
ted at Versailles such a. Bonaparte visiting the
manufacture of the Brothers Sevenes at Rouen;

Of Jouy the parade in the Tuieries the Congress

others his master-piece in this style, the Museum

too, no bad photographer, as the Voyage p Ho-

was also painter of enamel and on porcelain.
The table Of Sevres porcelain on which he rep
resented, in 1919, the Emperor surrounded by his
Marshals and by all the Generals in command In
1905, is the chef danure of the Sevres msnufacto-

the epoch of his celebrity the painter Of the Minis
