THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAM.--PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, MAROn 9, 186G.
eclmen of f reach JCsthetlo Criticism.
The nave of Taine 1 blooming here a promi
nent one ifi the annals of contemporary critical
tcrature. This prominence Is not owing merely
o ttao fact of the great ability of the writer, but
the circumstance of his devoting his atteation
topics of direct Interest to people In this part
the world. His critioi.stns on English Uteri
lire have been widely read, and republished
here; and their power and keen appreclultea
have given the author a certain popularity
among 'thoughtful readers, whicn will insure
attention tor such other of his warlu as may be
Introduced to our public.
Taine is the Protestor of .Esthetics and ef the
History of Art tn the Ecole des Beaux Arts at
Paris. In that capacity he del ivrred, Im 1864, a
series of lecture, ia which he uudertook to ex
plain art by social influencot and natural
caw-.es, the experience ot humanity, el inato,
and other conditions af a similar nature fur
nishing the facts on which his theory rents.
These lectures hare been translated by Mr.
John Durand.an Amettcan gentleman of artistic
tastes, now residing in Pans, and published in
book form by liailliere Brothers of this city and
London we might say this city and elsewhere,
lor the BaUlieres have establishments at Mel
ecurue, Madrid, and Pari, as well as in the
metropolises ot England and America. We
understand that they intend issuinc a variety
of translations troat the best French authors
of the present time, thus working a field of
literature which is by no means.too familiar to
even well-educated American readers. They
announce other works by Taine, and also trans
lations Irom Janet, Laurel, and ltemu9at.
The present series af lectures is entitled "The
rhlloeopby of Art," and is divided iuto tff
parts, treating of the "Nature ot the work of
Art," and the 'Production of the work of
Art." Under tho.e twa heads are grouped
the chapters or lectures trentiair of various de
tails. M. Taine starts by premising that a work of
art a picture, a tragedy, or a statue evidently
belongs to a group composed of all the works of
the artist producing it. Ho alludes to the f tmily
likcnes of the works of any individual artist.
"We know," he says, "that every artist has his
own styli, a style recognizable throughout his
productions, if he is a painter, he has hi own
coloring, rich or impoverished; his favorite con
ceptions, vulgar or refined; his attitudes, rules
of composition, and manner of workiug. This
is eo true that a connoisseur placed before as
original work not signed by any prominent mas
ter', will bo able to iutorm you with nearly abso
lute certainty by whom the work is executed,
and it eufliciently experienced and delicate in
his perceptions, the period of the artist's life
and the particular stago of his development to
which the work belongs." He maintains that in
order to comprehend a work of art, or a group
of artists, we must clearly comprehend the gen
eral social and intellectual condition of the
times to which they belong. A little further, he
expresses the more direct scope ot his present
lectures:
"I propose for you this senson the history of
painting in Italy. I shall attempt to revive for
jour contemplation the mystic milieu, in which
appeared Giotto and Beato Angelico, and to this
end. I shall read palaces irom the poets and
legendary wiiters, cnntainlne the ideas enter
tained by the men of those days concerning
happiness, misery, love, faith, paradise, hell,
and all the great interests of humanity. Wo
shall find documentary evidence in the poetry ot
Dante, of Guido Cavulcanti. of the Franciscans,
in the Golden Legend, in the Imitation of Jesus
Chrmt, in the Fioretti of St. Francis, in the
works of historians l.ke Dino Caiupugui, and in
that vast collection of chroniclers bv Muratori.
which 90 naively portray tee jealousies and dis
turbances of the small Italian republics. Af er
th's I shall attempt to place before vou in the
same manner the patau milieu, which, a century
and a hall later produced Leonardo da Vinci,
Michael Angelo, Raphael, and Titian, and to this
enu i snail reaa euner iro-n toe memoirs ot
contemporaries Bcnvenuto Cellini for instance
or from the diverse chronicles kept daily In
iioaie ana in me principal Italian cuius, or from
the despatches of ambassadors, er, finally, from
the descriptions of fetes, masquerades, and civic
receptions, which are remarkable fragments.
displaying the brutality, sensuality, and vigor of
society, as wen as tne lively poetic sentiment,
the love of the picturesquo, tne great literary
sentiment, the decorative instincts, and tho
naesion tor external sDlendor which chacan.
terized the people of that epoch ttie ignorant
multitude, aj well as the great and the culti
vated."
We do not intend to critically review the
criticisms of M. Taine, but merely to direct to
tncin tne attention of those ot our readers in
tercstcd in the u-stbetics ot literature; and we
cannot do this better than by making a few
briet extracts.
RUBENS AND RAPHAEL.
"Let us, for illustration, take up Rubens'
'Kermesse.' These blooming merry wives and
superb drunkards all of tho busts and rubicund
visages of tnese riotous overied animals pro
bably had their counterparts in the 'fatiess
of these pursy times.' Nature, In her exu
berance, might well aspiro to produoe such
gross iorms and such coarse manners, but
ebe only half accomplished her task; other
causes intervened to stay this excess ot a carnal
joyous energy. Theie is poverty, for instance.
In the best of times, and in tho best countries,
many people tail to get snllicient food, conse
quently lasting, or at least partial abstinence,
misery, and bad air, all the accompaniments
ol indigence.loppose the development and im
potuosity of innate brutality. A suffering man
is not so strong, and he is more restrained. Re
ligion, law, police regulations, and habits due
to steady labor, operate in the same direction;
education also contributes its mite. Out ot a
hundred of the creatures of that day, who nnder
favorable conditions miuht have furnished Iiti
bens with models, only five or six, perhaps,
could be of any service to him. Suppose now
that these five or six figures in te actual fetes
he witnessed were contused with others of a
more or lis ordinary and mediocre stamp, and
again, that at the moment they came nader his
eye tl ey exhibited neither tho attitude, the ex
pression, the gestures, the fury, the costume, or
the disorder requisite to make this teeming ex
citemunt apparent. All these insufficiencies
indicate that nature is obliged to summon art to
aid her; unable to mart the character of the
scene with sufficient distinctness, it is necessary
lor tne artist to take her place.
"So it is with every superior work of art.
While Raphael was painting his 4Calate,' he
wrote that, beautiful women being scarce, he
was following out a c nception of his own. This
signifies that, forming a certain idea of human
nature, composed ot joyousuess, serenity, and a
noble dignified sweetness, he could obtain no
living model satisfactorily meeting these require
ments. The peasant eirl or the laboring girl
that posed for him, had hands deformed by
work, feet spoiled by their covering, and
eyes disordered by shame, or showing the effects
oi ner aegrauing proiession. in the portrait ot
the 'Foinarina.'the shoulders fall too suddenly.
while the arm above the elbow is meagre, and
the expression Is wanting in intelligence. If
ne painted irom her In the Farnesim Palace, he
completely transiormea ner, developing a char
acter in bis painted tignre of which the real
Deureonlv contributed parts and sutrsestions.
' 'Thus the province of a work of art is to ren
der essentiul character, or, at least, some capi
tal quality, the predominance ot which must be
made as perceptible as possible. In order to
accoinplifcb. this the artist must suppress what
ever conceals it, select whatever manifests It,
correct every detail by which It Is enfeebled,
ana recreate those Oy whlcn it Is nuiliueJ."
A MC8ICAI, CEITICISM.
"Musical sound is composed of continual vi
orations of equal rapidity, which alreaJy Implies
a niuiueuiuuai reiatiousiiip; in the second place,
two sounds being given, the atfrtnrl mav kH inn.
osed of vibrations two, three, or four "times the
rapidity of the first; accordingly there ts be
tween these two sounds a mathematical relation
shlD. which is Uirured bv nlaei
equal distance from eaeh other on the musical
stave. If, instead of taking two, we take a num
ber of sounds, and place them at Vqual dis
tances apart, we form a scale, which scale con
stitute the- gamut, all the sounds being thus .
bound together according to their relative peti
tions oa t gamut'- You can nrrw ibrul conibl
aliens (liaisons) of sounds, successive or simul
taneous, the first order of sounds constituting
melody, and the second harmony. This is music;
it has "two essential parts, based, like architec
ture, on mathematical relationships, which the
artist is Iree to combine and modiiy.
"Music, however, possesses a second property,
which endows it with peculiar virtue and an
extraordinary grasp. Besides its mathematical
properties, sound 1a the aaalogue of a cry. Under
this head it convejs, with unrivalled precHon,
delicacy, and loice, moods of suffering, joy,
rage, tndignattoa every species of agitation or
emotion an animated sensitive being is capable
of, even to the most secret and most subtle
f radatiens. From this point of view It is suui
arto poetic declamation, luruihlng a spocliio
type ol music called the music of expression,
like ttiRt ot Gluck mid the Germans, in opposi
tion to tho aofledicuB school of Rossini and
the Italians. Whatever a composer's point of
view may be, every musical work' sprint's from
these two sources, both forming groups of sound,
linked toeethor according to mathematical law,
and ia correspondence with the passions and
diverse states ot the moral being. The musi
cian, therofore, who conceives a certain salient
important character, whether Joyous or mourn
ful, tha tendcrest love or extrciiiest rape, any
idea or sentiment whatever, may freely select
aud combiHe eouads in mathematical and moral
union to manifest it."
GOTHIC CATnEPRALS.
One of the most remarkable and best written
of tnese lectures is that on "Tne Greek Period."
An. ther lecture on "The Medlieval Epoch" con
tains a most eloquent description of the pro
cesses ol thought and action which resulted in
the Gothic Cathedral. Nothing in tho whole
book is more brilliant than this lecture, from
which we would quote the following po-isages:
"Let us observe the growth of the new Gothic
edifice. In opposition to the religions of anti
quity, which were all local, belonging to cartes
or to families, the Christian religion addresses
itself to the multitude, and summons all men to
salvation. It was necessary, accordingly, for
this new edifice to be very large, and capable of
containing the entire population of any one city
or district the womeu, the children, the serls,
the artisans, the rich, the poor, and the great.
The small cella olco occupied by the Greek god,
and tho portico devoted to the precessions of
lree citizens, were not sufliciently rapacious to
accommodate this immense crowd. An enormous
structure was required, loity naves, multiplied
and crossed with others, and measureless arches
and colossal columns: mountains had to be
levelled by generations of workmen Hocking
for centuries to it to labor lor the salvation
of their souls belore the monument could bo
completed.
"The mn who frequent it arc saddened, and the
ideas they come in quest of mournful. They
n.editato over their miserable existence, full of
trouble and bounded with a gull, over hell and
its endless punishments, over the sufferings and
passion ot Christ crucified, and those ot perse
cuted and tortured taints and martyrs. Listen
ing to such religious teaching, and supporting the
burden of their own fears, they could ill-accommodate
themselves to tho beauty and Joyous
licet of pure light: the broad invigorating light
of day is accordingly excluded; the interior of
the edifice remains sombre and lugubrious; all
the licht that penetrates through its openings is
transformed into purple and crimson tints Hiid
the tints of topaz aud amethyst, into strange
mystic flickering hues seemiugto afford glimpses
ot the splendors of paradise.
"Delicate over-excited imaginations like these
are not content with simple architectural form-.
And first, lorm in itself is not sufficient to inte
rest them. It must be a symbol of and designate
some august mystery. The elitioe with its trans
verse naves represents the cross on which Christ
died; its circular window with itJ brilliant petals
figures the roso of eternity, all tho leaves of
which are redeemed souls; all the dimensions of
its parts correspond to sacred numbers. Again,
these lorms in their richness, Btraugeness, bold
ness, delicacy, and immensity, harmonize with
the intemperance and curiosity ot a morbid
faucy. Vivid sensations Irequ'ent, bizarre, va
ried and extreme are necessary for such minds.
They reject the column, the horizontal and
transverse beams, the round arch; in short, the
solid construction, balanced proportions, and
beautiful nimpliclty of antique architecture;
they manifest no sympathy i'ot those noble crea
tions that seem to have been born and to last
without effort, whose beauty and existence ore
inseparable, and the inherent excellence ot
which needs no addition and requires no ornament.
"The principle they adopt Is not the plain half
by the column and the architrave, but the com
plicated union ol two curves intersected by each
other, lorniing the ogive. They aspire to the
gigantic; they cover square acres of ground with
masses of stone, bind pillars together in mon
strous coloumns, suspend galleries ia the air,
elevate arclies to tne sties, and stage upon suiu'e
ol belfry until their spires are lost in the clouds.
They refine on the delicacy of forms; they sur
round doors wan series of statuettes, ana lestoon
wallS'With treloils, gables, and gargoyles; they
intermingle the tortuous tracery of mullions with
the motley hues of stained glass; the choir seems
to oe cmDioiaeiaa wtta lace, wnue toinps, altars,
stalls, and towers are covered with mazes ot
slender columns and fringes of leaves and statues.
It seems as it they wished to attain at once infi
nite grandeur and infinite littleness, seeking to
overwneim the mind on either side, on the one
hand with the vastness of a mass, and on the
other with a provisions quantity ol details.
Their object was evidently to produce an extra
ordinary sensation; they aimed to .dazzle and
ucwuuer.
"Proportionately, therefore, to tho develop.
Bient ot the style ot architecture, It becomes
more and moro paradoxical. In the fourteenth
and fifteenth centuries, the aeo of the fl:imboy
ant Gothic ot btra:,uurg, Alllun, York, Nurem
burg, and the Church of iiroti, solidity seems to
have been wholly abandoned for ornament. Tho
cathedral sometimes bristles with a profusion of
pinnacles, ana its exterior is draped with a
lacework of mouldings; walls are hollowed out
and almost wholly absorbed bv windows; tbey
lack strength, and without the buttresses raised
against llieui would tall; ever disintegrating, it
is necessary to estaDiisni! colonies ot masons
about them constantly, to repair their constant
decay, me emDroidered stonework, more and
more frail as it ascends the spire, cannot sustain
itself; it hkS to be fastened to a skeleton of iron;
and as Iron rusts, the blacksmith ts summoned
to contribute his share towards propping up
this unstable, delusive magnificence. In the
interior the decoration is so exuberant aud

the church no longer seems to be a sacred monu

extravagant costumes ot the day, the delicate.
morbid poesy of which denotes in its excess the
unnatural sentiments, disordered brain, and
feverish, impotent aspiration ot an epoch to
which we owe the development of the knight
and the monk.
i "This style of architecture, which has lasted
for four centuries, is not confined to one country
or to one description of edifice; it is spread over
all Europe, from Scotland to Sicily, and it is
employed In all civil and religious and public
and private monuments. Not only do cathedrals
and chapels bear its imprint, but fortresses,
nulaces. costumes, dwellings, furniture and
eauipments. Its universality acrordinelv attects
the great moral crisis, at once morbid and sub
lime, wnica, auring tne wnoie or tne Middle
