{ Alphonse De Melville
And His Masterpieces
By ELIZABETH BROWNELL.

No painter has arisen in France to take the
place of Alphonse de Melville, the chief, and by
far the most dramatic and powerful, pictorial his
torian of the Franco-Prussian war. The time of
the great struggle came and with it the man,
probably the greatest battle painter of all time.
and certainly without rival in his country.
He died in his prime, but left behind him life
work which is full rich and rounded. He would
have done more had he lived longer than the
fifty years allotted him, but he would scarcely have
done better.
De Melville, a sympathetic gentleman well
great painter, died in Paris, on May 10, 1885,
within few days of completing his forty-ninth
name as painter of the German invasion his will
always be connected, was Edouard Detaille. Jules
Claretie compared Detaille to Prosper Merimee
and De Melville to Alexander Dumas, the father.
They painted together the great panorama of
Champigney.
To be painter was bred in the bones of AL

those illustrating Guyot's History of France be-
ing today considered classics. In 1864 came more
success at the Salon, for the state bought and
deposited in the museum of his native st. Omer
the artists Attack on the Streets of Magenta by
the Chasseurs and Zouaves of the Guard" Four
years later the state secured and sent to the
museum at Lille his "Chasseurs Crossing the
Tchernalia on Foot"
The Franco-Prussian war was. the artists OPP
portunity, and the man proved himself worthy
of the task. He was the painter of that war, and
German artist is to be mentioned in the same
breath with him. The French at least won
great artistic victory in the war; and the standard
bearers were De Neuville Detaille, Berne, Bell
scour, Medard, and Anne Morot.
But De Melville overtopped them all, as he
overtopped with little doubt, every battle painter
in the world, not excepting Salvador Rosa Horace
Vernet, Rofet Delacroix and Cation Woodville.
He is dramatic and heroic; he painted with all
their furious life and movement, the skirmish

set, affectionately if somewhat irreverently
known as Papa Duhousset, who was the profess

Vile: mo matter what you do, remember that
you will never be anything but painter
This was far different from the verdict of the
painters, Beanze, Yvon, and Picot who all three
discouraged him, when his reluctant father
brought him to Paris for the purpose of obtaining
their advice. After following the wishes of his
family for three years, which he spent at a law
school, he finally declared that he would be
painter and nothing else. His leisure hours, and
many of those that should have been employed
otherwise had been passed making sketches of
things military. Nothing discouraged by the
croakings of the two battle painters and their
brother in art-that Picot who for short time
became his master-De Melville did not return
to st. Omer but set up a studio. He painted
