st Douwldorf School of rlatlu. 'Jhm the London Saturday Reviem. There ia Boarcel painter of note, hardly a phage whether Christian and spiritual, or realistic and natnralistio in the history of (toman art daring the last half-center, whJoh has sot been more or less intimately connected wiih this small town npon the Khine. The great Cornelias termed by some the Goethe of the art of painting was born at Diiaseldorf; and to Cornelias, a man con fpionoos from his youth np for largo oompre penslve intellect, the Academy of DUsseldorf owed its resuscitation, and art In general that Signal revival of whioh Manioh, Berlin, and other chief oities give signs in oar times. This giant, the Miohael Angela of Germany, gathered around him a compact band of scholars, ardent as himself for the revival of fresco-painting. The new school received timely encouragement from King Ludwig in a oommiBBion to decorate the then recently erected (ilyptothek in Munich. The cartoons for this arduous work were prepared daring the winter months in DUsseldorf, and then, when summer came, masters and pupils went to the Bavarian capital to carry out the fres coes. In like manner at Coblena, Bonn, and the Castle of Ileltorf, "monumental art" got a fair start; thus the Italian method of fresco painting learnt by Cornelius, Sokadow, Veit, Jnd Overbect in Borne, having been trans planted to Diiaseldorf, took root throughout the land of Germany, where it abides and flcuriEhes even to this day. Yet it was not without difficulty that the young sohool of Diiaseldorf struggled into life and paid its way. The fame of the academy became so great that pupils Hooked in from all parts; but euocess brought with it perplexity. Genius became in excess ot the demand; the market was overstocked. The secret had been discovered whereby high art could be manu factured wholesale, and yet for the commodity when produoed no purchasers were forth coming. Fortunately King Ludwig was ready for the rescue. Moreover, the emergenoy culled into existence the famed "Kanstvereia fi r die Bheinlande und Westphalen," an Art Union localized within the academy, with the express purpose of subsidizing works whioh proved in advance of publio taste. It is inte resting to know that this Knntsverein on Us twenty-first anniversary was able to announce that, in addition to nine hundred great and small pictures distributtd by lottery, it had teen the means of securing to churches aboth l'rotestant and Romish, to museums aud public buildings, twenty-seven altar pieces and eleven large oil pictures. Among the works thus fostered are the famous freecoes from the history of Charlamagne which we recently bad the pleasure of study ing in Aix-la-Chapelle; also may be mentioned a masterpiece by Overbeck now in Cologne Cathedral; likewise Professor Keller's en graving the largest iu line ever executed of llallaelle's "Disputa." Diisseldorf, Indeed, as our readers are probably.aware, has long been a chief centre lor the publication of reli gious prints. We remember to hive seen in Rome, twenty years ago, in the studio of Over beck, then in the Cenoi Palace, design) in phaicoal prepared expressly for engraving in DUsseldorf. And (re have now before us seve ral hundred cheap popular prints published by the well-accredited "Ve rein zur Verbreitung rebgioser Bilder, in liisseldorf," engraved Iroui pictures by the best known painters in the Diisseldorf "Christian school." Snob, are among the means taken to educate the people of Germany np to the standard of high art. In fact, Diis seldorf does as much for religious art in a twelvemonth as London in a century. The Diisseldorf Academy has little expressly distinctive in its ourriculum of study. More worthy of remark is the mutual culture and the relation of brotherhood maintained be tween professors and pupils. While other academies may be compared to monarchies or oligarchies, that of DUbBeldorf is, by its liberty and equality, like a republic. The Direotor does not constitute himself a dictator; no one mind, no exclusive art-manner, dominates. Thus, during half a century, Diisseldorf, not withstanding the ascendancy of the so-called spiritual or Christian school, has given equal rights and privileges to all styles, includ ing, of course, the naturalistic. Even at this moment are found within her borders painters in manner wide as the poles asunder. Among the number may be enumerated Professors Deger, Ittenbaoh, and Carl Miiller, leaders in the so-called Christian school; Bendemann, Illustrious by works taken from Jewish his tory; Tidemand, the faithful delineator of peasant life in Norway; Vautier aud Balentin, devoted to realism and naturalism; and Pro fessors Lea, and Andreas and Oswald Aohen baoh, famous throughout Europe as painters 01 coast scenes ana lauasoapes. These artists and many more scarcely less illustrious, are) either by office, early pupilage, residenoe, or otherwise, bound to the fortunes of that least exclusive of all schools of art the Academy of Diisseldorf. The Diisseldorf school seems to renew its youth in the life-giving fellowship sustained between masters and pupila. A skilled stu dent is not cast adrift; on the contrary, he is attached to the Aoademy by the provision that he may occupy one of its atdiers. Thus talent, first trained aud then domiciled, is not lost to the spot; thus a gifted youth prolongs ms innuenoe over ms leiiow-Btndents, aud little by little grows as a vital member into the body corporate. Artists here preserve for long the attitude of disulpleship; even when arrived at man's estate they oontinus to re ceive the visits of professors and the admoni tion of directors; and it is known that a mas ter sometimes numbers among his scholars married men and fathers of families. The whole Academy in fact is a community for study and art-work, a guild vigilant for the welfare of the painter and his art. When in Germany some important national work has been needed, counsel has been taken of the Director by princes or municipalities. The best man for the eervioe is indicated; the labor is assigned to some one master, aided by a band of soholars. It would seem, Iudglng from our own nnhappy experience in Dneland. that great national works are abso lute impossibilities where there do not exist trained bands of scholars oapable of oarrylng out a ooncerted scheme under the direction of one responsible master. Ibe evidenoe of Mr. (1. F. Watts, R. A., before the Royal Commis sion was strong In favor of the very system which has made the Aoademy of Diisseldorf a great art-prod noing power, while lack of suoh system has left our own aoademy impotent, wholly inoperative upon the nation's art save In the successful multiplication of pretty exhibition pictures. Higher results in Ger many are the products of academio cul ture, and of that fellowship in labor which subBists between a master and bis scholars. It is easy to conceive Low much of ardor, what esprit de corps have been engendered by tLU copartnership in creation; an old scholar has been Known to atk as a privilege, without prospect of pay, TOE DAILY K irtHNG TELEGRAfH PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, permission to join hand with the master ovr tons earnest work. Thus It was in Italy. RafTaelle walked through Rome with a follow ing of City disciples; and the great mural pic tures of Rome, Florenoe, ' 1'iea, and fiienna could only have come into existence under system tho origin, in fact, of the praotloe In modern Germany whioh seonred to great masters the services of devoted bands or soholars. Art was In Italy a religion; and nob has it been ia Diisseldorf. Art life in the oapital ef the Rhenish pro vinces is more than commonly soolal, not to say "jolly." Students of various nationali ties, some Protestants, others Cathollos, mingle kindly together in mutual toleration. This Student community assumes a oertaln burgher or oitizen attitude, jealous of its rights. The Academy naturally begets kindred MOOla tlons. In the publio gallery are collected repret entative works of the sohool. In JaoobI a Garden, a pretty shady retreat, a well-kuewn resort of poets and philosophers, the artists have located their olub, the "Kiinstler Vereln Malkasteu." To drink coffee or wine beneath the trees, painter or two perohance within view making oat door studies, we have ourselves found plea sant in the snnny summer time. In winter the artists indulge in theatricals; the walla of the olub are decorated by its members with mural E aim lugs, and ready fanoy and rapid hands nd no diluoulty iu extemporizing scenery, coloring maeks, concocting oostnmes, and com pie ting other stage properties which have at least the merit ol being somewhat out of the common. The artists in Rome show like his trionic propensities. Indeed, any one who mar have glanced at art life on the Continent will readily believe that the painters of DiUseldorf give themselves kindly to masking and prac tical joking, fun and frolio of all sorts. At Dusseldorf too, as at Venice in the days of Giorgione, music is the painter's passion. Here Mendelssohn lived two years; here he conducted the "St. Paul," and the master's refining influence has survived even to the present day. Altogether it is easy to eee in artist life at DUsseldorf, as at Rome, Low generously Conti nental manneis lend themselves to freo and easy ways. Feasts and holidays in Roman Catholic countries favor artist festivals; life is more scenio and picturesque than in lands where cold, commercial reason has ostracized imagination. Diisseldorf, more over, still maintains rural simplicity; she is yet happily exempt from that fashionable frivolity which trades for its own empty ends on artists' inherent vanities. Thus the quiet town is more favorable to study than gay capitals like Berlin or Munich. On the whole, this abode of painters is a pleasant plaoe to live in. Academicians from the windows of atelierB eommni l 'u tureeque views over the Bwift-llowing Kbiije, the sails of passing craft shining in the ma. The town is prettily situated among trees, gardens, and running waters; nature puts 011 winning ways, though she scarcely rises into heroics; and so those artists who find themselves restless under throes of imagination betake themselves in the sketching teacon to the highlands of the Upper Rhine. Hence, when sum mer comes, ambitious spirits, consolida ting into caravan?, ungrate in search of the sublime. Pilgrimage is made to old Roman eEque churches, to Rhenish castles legend haunted. It has been said that poetry and lyric muBio animate the wine-growing districts of the Rhine. Certainly the sketching ground which nature has provided as a domain to the school of Diisteldoif furnishes to the artist's portfolio capital material, whether in type of peasantry, character in costume, or pic turesque accessories for backgrounds. The landscape capabilities of regions within reach of DiisBeldorf the vintage-clad Rhine, the hills of Bavaria, the mountains of the Tyrol, not to mention the accessible fiords of Scandi navia have been turned to excellent acoount by Lessing, Lea, and Achenbach. It may be added that Bierstadt, the American, formed his Btyle in Diisseldorf; it was there he learned how to paint the Rocky Mountains after the approved German fashion. These and other artists of scaroely less renown place Diissel dorf landscape, notwithstanding its vicious color, in the foremost position among rival national schools. The Diisseldorf school baa been divided between two contending factions the one spiritual and ideal, the other natural and realistic. Of the feimer, the lovely church, worthy of a pilgrimage, at Remageu, on the Rhine, is the brightest manifestation. Upon the walls of this chapel, Deger, Ittenbaoh, Carl and Andreas Miiller, all distinguished members of the Diisseldorf Academy, have given ardent expression to their plotorial, not to say religious, faith. This impressive inte rior of highly-wrought polychrome naturally suggests comparison with Giotto's Arena Chapel, Padua. Such modern German revi vals, Indeed, Lave much of the character and (spirit of early Christian art. The forms are studiously lovely, the heads lofty and ideal in type; the draperies academio in symmetry; the colors refined and pure; the execution de licately Boft. Certainly these lovely, though somewhat feeble and conventional, wall pic tures are not at the ted with the hardness, opacity, and crudity which often make German frescoes repellent. Unlike also to the freooes in the Houses of Parliament, Westminster, the mural pictures at Remagen, In oommon with wall-paintings in Germany generally, remain just as fresh as when first painted. In direct antagonism with the spiritual phase of the Diisseldorf school, as manifested at Remagen, is the naturalism and realism of which Karl Friedrich Lessing may be taken as the express exponent. This manly painter is best indeed by the Beries ot pictures torn the Jietormation of iluss, two whereof are familiar to Rhine tourists tarrying at Frankfort. An interesting narrative might be written of Lessing's career and Protestant creed, If he has one. it is generally supposed that the painter, as the champion of liberty and of nature, led a kind of ProteBtant revolt in the Academy of miseeiaori against servility to tradition. Uu the other hand, we are assured that the de- nani hubs pictures were not Hurled as Tainted namnhleta against the Church. !.- ing, it seems to e anmitted, holds to no one faith sufficiently firmly to side as a partisan in any polemio strife. In Christianity he loves what is simple in lift, free in thought, manly in aotton. in ms ait lie does not trouble him self with legends of saints or manifestations or the supernatural; he believes that the highest function of ait ia to set forth a noble humanity, to depiot the great men, minds, and deeds in history; be is content to plant a firm foot in time and place, and he surrenders willingly to otbers the realms of imagination The Diisseldorf school has profited by the doctrines of Lessing. On the easel of Tide mand may now lie seen au altar-piece for a Protestant Church iu Norway, "The Haptism of Christ" a large work which, by its indi viduality, realism, and vigor, must be re garded as a direct reaction to the "spiritual ism" tnat long reigned in uusseidorr. Professor Bendeuinnn, now Direotor of the Academy, takes a middle course between "spiritualists" and "realists." He has just executed a vast caitoon, an episode In the destruction of Jerusalem; alse a series of wall paintings after a newly-invente.d oil-prooesi. Other Biens of the times still more marked tell that a reaction Las set in that in DUssel dor', as in Germany and the world at Urge, art hi. forsaken idealism for individualism. It may be to some peopw - Wo that the freiraoes at Remagen, Manioh. and rS'rl "wherein the so-called spiritual "hool of Germany has expended its fervor, are not likely soon to fade away. German fre'eow. we repeat, have stood well; unlike In peVpetratei In Kngland, they are not disooloreoV faded; they do not, aa the mural t Westminster, blister, break into eruptions, and finally fall as dirty dust from tbe wane, vu hh vvuM-.y, ...... nnimnortant exoeptlons. chiefly of works un protect d from the weather, fresooes in Ger LnT alter a trial of more than twenty years remain sound and intact aa If painted bat y es te rd jr.
