A Chance to View Some OF the Products Of
Their Brushes in OIL and Water Color.
There is now on private view in this
city, at So Main street, on the second
floor, for limited period prior to their
beng sent to New York city, small
collection of oil and water color paint
ings, probably, without exception, the
finest examples OF water color from the
brushes of eminent English and foreign
artists ever brought to the state; GER
tainly none are known TO exist of greater
excellence in this or adjacent cities.
They are now placed in private view,
so that all lovers of fine art in the city
may call and inspect them prior their
departure. They are OF such excellence
and merit that they will repay visit, as
they appeal TO the cultivated taste OF
those who love the beautiful as exempli-
fed IN water color painting.
The larger painting, ''The Moorish
Musician - was executed by the young
Spanish artist, "Rumeros, 4" who studied
at the Conservatory at Rome in 1882, and
this, the last production Of his brush,
was painted by him for the Madrid salon
OF Spain, his native city. In 1882, be-
fore its exhibition, he died. 1t
was, however, given place in
line by the academy critics, and
upon its merits alone was awarded
''a gold medal for its excellence and
fidelity to both subject and Its flesh tints.
"Rumeros, - the young artist, had
travelled extensively in the Moorish do-d
minions to perfect himself in his subiseE
and the richness of color incidentsf to
- hot fYry
This painting was afterwards FRIED TO
Paris, France, thence to Lo don, Eng
land, where it was purchased by gen.
tleman long a resident of this city. But |
until recently scarcely dozen persons,
themselves lovers of fine art, have seen |
the pictures.
Among the smaller paintings is one by |
ga A. Penley (brother of Aaron PEN
7lSyJ, one of the great masters of water |
color in England, and late president of |
the Water Color society of London. This
small but perfect gem is faithful trans
cript of the spot made famous by |
the eminent English authoress,
Miss Harriet Martineau, whose home
was not far distant from "Pen- ]
,maen pool and in the famopN
Ead1berland lake district. This was
painted in 1881, as is attested by the ar
list 8 signature IN the corner or MS SUD-
ject.
Another example of the eminent Eng
lish artist, in water color, Berket Fors-
ter, also late president of the
Water Color society of London, England,
is the ''Church and Market Place"
at "Bruges. - Round about Rotterdam
and Antwerp is quaint old church with
numerous figures in the foreground,
showing the quaint and curious country
folk, costumed in their high colors, fit
ting hither and thither around the
market square. The sight is familiar
one to all who has travelled in the low
countries and seen the Dutch peasantry.
Miss Henrietta Forster (Berket Fors- n
ter's sister, contributes a small but
perfect MOSAIC in water color, entitled
"Jennie Deans Interview With the
Queen in the Park. - subject made
famous by the great novelist and
romancer, Sir Walter Scott. All are
worthy Of visit and pleasure will be
taken in showing them. Seldom-Hre
such paintings of merit and excellence to
be seen SO far removed from the great
art centers of the country.
