"Gefecht,N by Joseph Won Brandt, was bought
from the jubilee exposition held in Munich, 1883.
Four-hfths OF the purchase money was sub
scribed in sums of Sl0aud upward; the president
OF this society headed the list with $1,000. The
great power and talent displayed in this picture
cannot be appreciated at a first glance. To
depict scene as represented on this canvas
requires thorough knowledge of all the move
ments of which the human FORM as we'll as that
OF the horse, is capable under the greatest ex-
cltement. The model was here Of little use. The
artist must be imbued with a memory that
would set aside even Leonardi's precept, Who
ever tiatters himself that he can retain in his
memory all the effects of nature is deceived, for
our memory is not so capacious, therefore, CON
suit nature for everything" How could he
pose model and study every detail from
nature for the group on the left of the picture,
Dulet-perced horse and rider collapslng and
railing! No doubt he had seen just such an in
cident when himself in battle, and at most re-
membered Ii as passing effect, and this may
be said of the entire scene brought before us ID
such living movements and color.
Brandt is absolute master in his art he has
formed school of his own aud is called
master of many masters" Ludwig'von Pietch,
celebrated critic. in his work Painting at the
picture and him thus:
Never has painter been more Jealous, and
In bis endeavOrs more successful in depicting
and propagatinS the heroic and martial valoF
nnOnIa Of his rNinf
bis countrymen, the Poles, although now ex-
cluded from being a united sen-dependent
people, have in their writer's, poets and painters
or to-day proved that the national spirit is In
no wise extinguished or dead.
In Joseph Won Brsndt's picture is this seen
with refreshing force. To represent and glo-
rify the chivalrous heroic deeds OF the sons of
his country during the reign of its undivided
political power and greatness, has this master
devoted his great talent. The painter himself
| IS most thoroughly imbued with the fiery Sar-
natian temperament with which his Polish
| riders seem to have been possessed No one
| surpasses him in the living drawing of his warr
! ors ana HORSES even in their widest movements

of skin and fur, so also in structure of bone and
muscles. All his characteristics, pecuarities

piece. In letter to me MIR. Brandt says: ''It
has been pleasure TO me that my
| picture Elm Gefecht,' which consider my best
work, has met with your appreciation, know
