A late letter from Germany brings
the glad news to his mother, brothers
and friends here that Theo. Steele,
who went from indianapolis to that
country some four years ago, to attend
the Art Schools at Munich, at late
exhibition received the first prize
medal on his paintings. And the
Academy afterwards bought one OF
his study pictures. 1.-THE Boatman," to
put among their collection in the Art
Gallery, which is said to have been a
greater honor than winning the first
prize medal. Mr.. Steele has finished
his studies there, and will return to
the United States this fall. His friends
and relatives are justly proud of the
reputation and honors he has gained as
an artist.-Comant, August %.
We had the pleasure of seeing this
week, photograph of the picture,
,sThe Boatman," alluded to aboN e.
No oil painting can be adequately rep
resented by photograph, but even
the photograph of this picture shows
wonderful strength, and perfection of
detail. The Academy has given Mr..
Steele year in which to deliver the
picture, and during that time he will
send it to indianapolis in order that
his friends and patrons there may see
what he has been doing.
