Art Talks

IfDutch art is the most character
dstic of all the schools in regard to
type and setting, the work of the
French masters Is the most distinct-
i've as reflection of all the subtle
phases of National tendencies. The
French spirit has always responded to
the mysticism OF the north as well as
the poetic fervor OF the south, and In
connection with the European peo-
Piles has held tempered medium.
More brilliant than original, quick to
adapt fresh idea and produce some
vivid effect, French painting, in the
beginning, had no strong, individual
impulse, but was the result of Flemish
and Italian influence.
Their sacred architecture had
reached noble elimination in the
Thirteenth century and this had the
usual accompaniment of glass paint
ing and illuminated texts with their
various modes of expression. There
is some e. record of extensive wall
paintings in the time of CharlemaRne
and some transition steps bad been
taken from the miniature work to
pictures proper through the passing
periods. 1t was not until Francis |
brought in Italian artists to decorate
Fontaine bleu that any very great adj
vance v as made. These favored SER
wants gathered about them Il num-
Der OF French students who were
afterwards known as forming the
School of FOntainebleu. But even
with this royal impetus and rapidly
growing artistic facility, France
never developed separate schools dis
tinguishiDg definite districts, but the
various teaching and aspiration be-
gan from the first to center at Paris
There was the heart of everything
French and everything worth having
in the whole round of existence. Into
this heart was drawn every quality
of every country which the French
artist could possibly use, and it Is this
wonderful adap' alton, linked as 1t is
with the inherent necessity of his
torical reflection, that has made the
Partisan studios so great q power Ia
modern teaching.
But in the Sixteenth century this
trend Of feeling was still dominated
by italian methods, and certain In
ternal tendencies that held every
artist within the same bounds. There
was no one expressive class of SUBJ
jscts but Catholicism and Paganism,
mythology, history and nature sug.

and pathos as we'll as great learning
and research.
In good time he was able to do the
work he best loved for most apprecia-
tive patrons, but he was drawn back
to Paris by the persuasion OF Richie
lieu. He was made painter in ordin'
airy to Louis XIII and given some
large commissions but he found the
atmosphere of the court as well as
some OF his duties extremely distaste-
full aud at last he obtained leave to 90
back to Rome under promise to re.
turn. But he was freed from his
word by the death of the monarch
and took up his old life for twenty
years of prolific labor.

suggests the fertility of Rubens and

torical subjects he created the classl,

In the beautiful cemeteries in the val

all understanding; and deep sleep on
which neither the buoyant football of
youth nor the weary shuttle of old age
will ever intrude."
