Death OF Rembrandt PsaIs. Z,
The deceaae Of this venerable artist, which es-
Cured at his residence in Philadeluhfs On the
morning OF the 4th inst. will create more sorrow
than surprise. Mr.. Peaie had already passed tha
allotted term of human life, having reached his
eighty third year on the twentyaecond 81 last
February. a few months ago he received sexi,
accident while in Connecticut, and was Obliged
to remain for some time in stonington, where, 81
kind attention, he recovered sufficiently To return
home. He was taken i'll last Tuesday night with
hydropercardium or dropsy on the heart, and died
at half past six o'clock Thursday morning.
Mr.. Peaie belonged to family Of artists, and
was son Of Charles Wilson Peae Of the old Peaie,s
Museum Of Philadelphia, a branch Of which oceu-
The large collection Of portraits now in Barnura.s
establishment was formed by Mr.. G. w Peale
The building in Philadelphia-near the site Of the
Continental Hotel-was burned down several
years since, and the principal contents Of Peaiess
Museum OF this city were long ago transferred to
| Mfr. Barnum.
| Rembrandt Peale was born at the time when
Washington was at Valley Forge, and learned his
profession in his fathers studio at Philadelphia for

and had painted several portraits of Washington,
who, in l!95 sat three times to the son Rembrands
then but IL years old. The young artist was much
frightened, but the study of Washington'a head he
then made, served as the basis for his future poF
traits of this subject. He subsequently painted
therefrom picture which, in 1882, waa purchased
| for two thousand dollars by the Government, and
placed in the United States Senate Chamber.
Peale continued almost to the time Of his death 10

Mr.. Peale's early acquaintance with the leading
men at the seat OF government made him widely
known, and ensured for his artistic ability large
| patronage and remuneration. He enjoyed here
position as similar to that Of y court painteY''
abroad as could exist under our form of govern

some attention to literature, aud in 1889 published
