Art lit Munich.
A oorrrnpondont of the Vail Mall Gazette
gives tho following information about art in
Munich:
Hilling tlio prevnlencc of "high art" in its
various forms a strict technical diHoiiilino ex
isted in the German workshops to which thoir
artists owe much. All that can lo eomniuni
cntoil of drawing, composition, ami light and
nhade, is part of the stock with which they
start. A wall covered with modern Gcrin.m
pictures strikes the eye at oneo by correctness
and moderation in these respects. Except
among tho most recent innovators, color
ncems to have been less valued. If there are
few discords, there is a remarkable dulness
and coldness in their color, to which the
French pictures offer a remarkablo contrast.
At tho present moment these negative techni
cal merits mid they nro not without eminent
exceptions, both for good and for evil eon
Btihite the only bond of union among German,
painters. Here, as elsewhere, artists are
striving to bring about a contact between life
and art, or, in less obsenro terms, to find
Borne moans of representing in tho forms of
art the strongest and most cherished impres
Bions. ITero, as elsewhere, this is yet fur
from being reached, even farther, perhaps,
than in Franco or Jitigland. Conventional
rules (which arc only good to keep on con
dition that they may be regarded as also good
to break) hold the greater number of German
artists enthralled. They seem to think moro
of avoiding reproach than of giving expres
sion to personal observation or experience.
The visitor to Munich who wishes to do
justice to tho present condition of Gorman
art should procure admission it is readily
and courteously granted to tho gallery of
Huron Schm h, a li'ltlo beyond tho l'ropylien.
His pictures aro principally of tho Munich
school, and include further examples of the
three most noticeable artists in tho wholo
German department of tho Exhibition, MM.
Makurt, Fcucrbaeh, and J.ocklin.
An important decorative work by the first
of these was exhibited in Loudon lust year,
and noticed in your journal. Tho present
collection contains an oil painting of tho
wholo wall, which tho artist had decorated
with the fantastic carved frames between tho
panels. There aro throe of these, the middle
one being higher nnd narrower than the
others. 'Tho foreground of each is occupied
by a group, or garland of children, mature
only in their fantastic Louis XV dresses, and
in the swimming miriueL-like graeo of thoir
movements in dance, procession, tlight, or
pursuit. A background of tropical leafage,
strikingly imagined and drawn, shows through
it at tho top a background of brownish gold
real gold which serves for tho sky. The
color owes its beauty chielly to harmonics of
gold brown, olive green, and other cognate
tints. To find faults in M. Makart's works,
ono hhould be better acquainted with them or
less susceptible to their penetrating charm.
In drawing tho tiguro ho undoubtedly is led
to take great liberties by tho vividness of his
sympathy with the expressive force of each
part, and probably so powerful an artist will
in time succeed in conciliating accuracy with
out alienating fancy. His most important
work, representing the "Plague at Florence"
as it is described by P.ocraccio, has left
Munich for Vienna, where M. Makart himself
has accepted fin r.ppoiutinent.
M. Aih-elm Fouerlmch is represented by a
huge and important work, very different, ex
cept in its faultless drawing and harmonious
composition, from the delightful pastorals,
which aro the most successful of his works in
IJaron Scluich's collection. Tho immense
canvas represents the hall of nn Athenian
house. On the right: hand of tho central door
Socrates is seated at a table in a space fenced
oil' by a couch so as to form almost a separate
room. He is seen in prolile, with head bent
forward and left hand raised to his beard, in
an attitude of attention, listening to tho eager
argument of another disputant. (As the cata
logue is not yot printed, it is impossible to say
more exactly what the moment chosen
is.) Two youths are listening with intelli
gent faces, and ono who seenn to
be the host has risen up and turned to moot a
noisy company who aro descending tho steps
on the other side of the hall, though tho rout
has not yet disturbed tho attention of those
round Socrates. It is evidently Alcibiades
who is entering, full of wino, each arm thrown
round the neck of a dancing girl, while
another, a lovely figure, moves half rovertod
in front beating a timbrel. It is a summary
view of Athenian life in ono aspect. It avely
has a finer intellectual sympathy expressed
itself in art; very rarely with equal mastery
of all technical conditions. The color, though
extremely fine in parts, is as a wholo less
Katisfying. A greenish moonlight tinge dif
fused over the wholo picture disappoints and
wearies the eye in spito of the skill with which
it is executed.
Like MM. Makart and Feuerbach, M. Arnold
Bocklin is of the Munich school, but he is a
native of Basic. A fine work by him (left
unfinished at tho desire of the late King
Louis) is in tho new Pinakothok; others may
bo seen in Baron Schaeh's collection. The
chief characteristic of this charming artist is
a fruitful and r .cef ul fancy. His color is his
own, and, especially in his later ivorks, shocks
not a little tho Purists of Munich by its luxu
rious brightness. Leaving his other works to
be studied and enjoyed by those who may
visit Munich on this occasion, I will attempt
to describe that by which ho is represented in
the Exhibition. On tho grassy slope of a
little hill, which just at her feet breaks into a
precipice, the tutelary nymph of a spring sits
holding lightly tho overturned vaso from
which a thread of water loaps to tho ground
below. A rope of gauzy violet is wrapt about
her like a cloud, and she sooms to dream with
open eyes. On tho other side, at tho same
elevation, Pan lies baok, his face gloaming
purple below his scanty white locks. Under
them both is a lanky youthful satyr, wonder
fully real, his long goat's legs clothed with
yellow hair. Ho is catching in his hand some
of the water which falls from above. At the
top of the picture, against the bright blue
Bky, a ring of white Loves, hand in hand,
dance with wonderful lightness in the air.
The prevailing tondency in the Munich
Bchool of figure-painting is, however, to
wards tho romautic, or, may I say, semi
theatrical treatment of history. Its most suc
cessful and admired practitioner and teacher
is Trofessor Carl Piloty, whose fine picture of
Nero visiting tho ruins of Home will be re
membered by many of your readers as one of
the greatest attractions of our exhibition in
IWZ. He is himself a pupil of Paul Dola
roche, and the works of most of his own pu
pila repeat by roiloction from their master's
the manner of that accomplished artist. Pro
fessor Piloty has a picture in this exhibition
representing the reception by Mary Stuart of
the messengers who come to announce her
sentence. She is seated, and the commis
sioners stand before her in an imposing group.
The various expressions are well marked, and
the painting of the accessories is highly inter,
esting.
The veteran Frof ossor Kaulbach is occupied
f lute chiefly on cartoons or large drawings
cn historical or, dramatic, (iubjocts. It is, I
believe, unnecessary to characterize his man
ner, ns in some form or other his works are
known throughout Europe, Recent speci
mens of them aro to bo seen in tho Exhibi
tion. Four lovely drawings by Baron Bam
berg illustrate "Hermann and . Dorolhoa."
They show a mastery over line and a purity
of sentiment which aro rarely combined in an
equal degree. Among the younger painters
of incident who follow M. Piloty two of his
pupils, M. Grutzner and Mr. Folingsby, aro
perhaps tho most noticeable. In spite of
groat similarity to his master in technical
matters, the former is highly original in his
humorous "Falstaft" inspecting the Recruits.
Tho latter exhibits a touching and well
designed figuro with tho title "Das Liod
ist ans!" (the Song is ended). A young
musician, richly dressod, lies dead,
still grasping his luto. M. Lonbach is
a portrait-painter of tho first rank, aud only
wants boldness in color to stand very high in
it. A Munich painter of great ability, M.
Max, has painted on ft large scale a subject
perhaps tho most repulsive ever yet so represented-
tho dead body of a young girl under
tho hands of tho surgeon who is going to dis
sect it. Tho landscapes of Munich painters
nro in general admirably composed, and in
this respect might with advantage bo imitated
by Englishmen, but the color is generally
dull, and a certain timidity aU'ects tho draw
ing ns well. MM. Schloich and Lier aro in an
academical point of view tho most successful;
but M. Krauso appears to mo to convey a
feeling of greater sympathy with nature,
while his composition is yet duly harmonious,
nnd his drawing exact. Mrs. Folingsby, a
German artist, is, I think, almost alone hero
in aiming at color as a thing valuable in
itself. Her picture from the Bavarian lake
country is deep nnd in full tone, while its
simplicity and harmony of plan add a charm
which our own painters rarely allow us to
experience.
Itloi'ssinsilic Marriage.
The recent morganatic marriage of Dora
Fernando, King Consort of the late Queen
Mario II, and father of the reigning King of
Portugal, with an American lady named llons
ler, has attracted much attention in this
country, and been widely noticed in the jour
nals of New York, and as a consequence
widely coined elsewhere. Some Western
journals have glowingly exultod over the
great success achieved by this American bride,
and alluded to similar instances, as tho mar
riage of Prince Louis do Bourbon, etc., all of
which are calculated to set tho susceptible
hearts and ambitious aspirations of our Ame
rican belles in a fever of emulation.
Morganatic marriages aro a peculiarity ex
clusively pertaining to princes of the blood,
heirs apparent to the thrones of Europe, or,
likej the latest one, of ex-kings in retirement,
and waiting for employment. The present
Emperor of France is said to have been iiidv
ganatically married. Tho Fitz-Clarences of
England aro the issue of a morganatic mar
riage of tho Duke of Clarence, afterwards
William IV. And it is a matter of gossip in
London that uo Prince of AValos was in that
manner married to the daughter of an Irish
clergyman prior to his alliance with tho House
of Denmnrk, and that the issue of the mar
riage was a son. But in all these instances
these morganatic wives have been set aside
for those who have noble blood flowing
through their veins.
Tho writer of this article being on a tour of
observation and pleasure through Europe,
some two years since visited Lisbon. One
of the most attractive spots for the tourist is
Cintra, glowingly described in Childe Ha
rold's Pilgrimage:
"Lo! ('intra s glorious Eden intervenes,
In variegated maze of mount aud jrlen;
Deltoid tlio lia.ll where chiefs were tutu convened.''
So a party was made up to visit Cintra.
We were informed that tho ex-King Dora
Fernando was occupying the castlo, and that
Miss E. Ilensler was living there under it
protection. Armed with a letter of introduc
tion from nn American ollicial at List ion, wo
journeyed thither.
"Then slowly climb the many winding way,
And ircqucut. turn lo linger as you go,
Prom loftier rocks new loveliness survey,
And rest ye at 'our Lady's house of woo.' "
Arrived at tho castle, wo sent our letter in,
and permission was accorded us to visit tho
chapel and view tho grounds. The cause of
tho lady not receiving ns in person was soon
made apparent, for on emerging through tho
great gato to descend the mountain into tho
beautiful grounds, a lady psssed us running
towards a gentleman whom wo had passed on
tho road. Sho was dressod in Knickerbocker
costume of velvet and in boots. A largo
mastiff, black and shaggy, bounded alongside.
The lady was Miss Ilensler, and with the
King was about to take her usual daily exor
cise aud ramblo through the grounds. Dom
Fernanda is a pleasant uud mild-looking gen
tleman, apparently about forty-eight years of
age.
Miss Ilensler is a blonde, and rather good
looking, without being handsome. She ap
peared to bo twenty-eight or thirty years of
age.
Finishing our inspection of the castle and
the old Cork Convent, where
"Deep in yon cave llonorlus lonir did dvtll,
In hope to merit heaven by lmikinK earth a null,"
we returned to Lisbon.
A night or two afterwards we attended the
Grand Opera House. Tho royal box was oc
cupied by tho King, his younger brother, and
by Dom Fernando. Next to the royal box
was that of the ministers of the crown, several
of whom were present in their uniform. Tho
King was in tho uniform of a Field Marshal.
Dom Fernando had no eyes for tho opera,
but his glances, aside of his glass, were
directed continuously to a box nearly oppo
site, but in a higher tier. Hero was seat nl
Miss Ilensler, tho ex-King's rhcre untie. Be
tween the two, constant signs communicated
their thoughts, which were laughable to bo
hold. This continued during most of the
performance, and was noticed by most of the
audience.
It appears that Miss Ilensler had been an
opera-singer, and while performing at Lis
bon had attracted the attention of the lonely
ex-King, and a mutual arrangement soon
followed.
It is altogether probable that tho court
scandal attending this Unison for tho pu.it
three or four years, and a desire on the part
of Miss Ilensler to mix in court society, from
which sho has hitherto been excluded, has
impelled tho ex-royal debauchee to enact the
farce of morganatic marriage.
There has been a rumor of late that Dom
Fernando might be called to the throne of
Spain, in which event his niorganatio bride
would be as ruthlessly thrust aside for a
mnrUtge d'etat, for which there are many pre
cedents. We are inclined to the opinion that our
American belles will not be much attracted or
go into ecstacies over this mexalliance, or, as
it is conveniently termed, morganatic marriage.
