CINCINNATI, o., Nov, 4, 1888,
EDIToR NEWS DEMooRAT; After
three or four days spent In the Expo
altlon buildings, we turned our atten
tion TO other points Of interest In and
around Cincinnati. The first being
that Of Munkacsys painting OF "Chriat
Before Plate and which has been At
tracing lovers of art, second only 10
that OF the Exposition. First n word
no 10 the author. Michael dc Mum
kacsy was u Hungarian by birth, born
In the fortress Of Munkacsy In 1874,
Left an orphan at the ageof four years,
his father having Joined the patriots
under Kosauth, In the reyeraes which
followed the Russian occupation was
cast In prison and died there, leaving
the author the youngest Of llye. In
early youth his work and bread were
hard, yet he found leisure hours which
he was able TO spend In study. Az the
age of eighteen, hewentto Gyula where
ho met the portrait painter, Szamosy,
here his future profession dawned upon
him. AT nineteen he wandered TO
Pesth, travelling as mechanic, making
strange acqualntances among Gypsles,
vagabondS and strolllng apprentices,
The Vienna school failed 10 recognize
his talent. In 1865 he returned TO
Buda pesth, where his career was near
ly brought TO an end by u disease OF the
eyes. ile then went " Munich, where
he found q friend III Frawz Adam, the
battle painter. Here he painted such
works as "rhe Departure for War,
"Dresslng the Bride" "The Wedding
Invitation" "Ihe Return TO Peace,
and other Hungarian subjects. with
the capital acquired he went 10 Dussel'
dorf, where no found himself more q
master than u pupil. Here his paintings
were purchased by wealthy Americans
Vanderbilt, Astor, Alger, Wilstach
MorriA and o score Of others. Here he
painted "'rhe Last Day OF Man Con
demned 10 Death" Others followed IN
rapid succession. He awoke like BY
ron 10 find himself famous, He went
TO Paris; here he painted his thret
greatest pictures, VIZ: "The Lasl
Hours Of Mozart In the first the most
prominent figure Is Christ, The artist
has made the light aud color concen
trate here PLATE In the White, purple
bordered t0ga OF u Roman Senator, In
order OF prominence comes Caiaphas
the acCuser. Every llgure on the can
vas has It's proper place ana historic
bearing. The civilization of the time
when the Christian religion was found
ed, is admirably reflected In the epartinp
IN It's diverse figures, It's types, feat
ureB garments and architectural de
tails. The different ways In which The
people arc interested IN Chrlsts fate
are represented with as many shades ol
expression as there are figures. No two
persons are alike and, and none express
their emotion In tho same manner
There Is no copying from u pattern, nc
m0n0tony, but q realistic individuality
combined with harmony and unity
throughout. We feel that he Is Indeed
20 man of sorrows and acquainted viii
grief"
