The Rutland daily globe. [volume] (Rutland, Vt.) 1873-1877, 1874-06-24

This years exhibition of the works of
living French painters is, on the whole
very poor one. There is hardly any work
to call for public attention admiration be-
ing entirely out of the question. The great
medal has been this year given to NJ. Ge-
rome. but this has created good deal of
opposition against the jury, and a subscrip-
ton is now on foot among the painters to
offer Il medal to Corot, the great landscape
painter, who certainly deserved the official
medal far more than Gerome. But politi
cal discussions rage even among painters.
NJ. lIamon one of the best French paint
els, has just died in Italy, where he lived
for the last ten years. He was very well
known and admired in artistic circles,
though he had not perhaps an equal rep
utation among the public. His death is
much to be lamcntcd.
The copyright in Miss Thompson's pic
ture of The Roll Gail" has been purchased
by Messrs. Dickinson & Co., of London,
and Mr.. Stackpole has accepted com
mission to engrave it. The picture itself
has become the property Of Queen Vic
toria.
The painting on which Miss Thompson
is at present engaged has for its subject a
scene from Waterloo, and represents one
of the desperate charges of party of
French cavalry against an English infantry
regiment formed in hollow square. The
subject is far more difficult than the "Roll
Call" and will fully test the artists power.
j. c. Plat, of Brooklyn, has just painted
half length life size ideal portrait of
Jesus Christ. The subject Christ's prom

The French Minister of Fine Arts in his
report suggests that in order to encourage
the cultivation of historical painting the
jury charged with the distribution of the
medals given for proficiency in this branch
of art shall be empowered to select each
year one artist, who will be sent TO Rome
at the expense of the State, and who will
be expected to send TO the Director of the
Fine Arts at least one work for every year
that he remains there.
