i 1BE DAILY EVENING fEL6MAWI PlllLADELFiiiA, MONDAY, JANUARY 17, 1870. THR FINK AMT. " Trif Old Master la Jtmerlrn. American art ntnrtcnts have always rnrnplslncl of the great disadvantages under which they laior, In comparison with their brethren in Buroue, with regard not merely to the culture of the publlo for whom they letor, but the absolute want ol facilities for critical examination or the works of the great' msstet a, A brief course of study at aome European, aitfcoutre affords but imperfect opportunities for thorough acquaintance with the trenaurei that arc collected In the public galleries of a dozen cities, or spread upon the walla of palaces, churches, and niounstcrles, and very many find it Impossible to gain even thla much. It la true that the principal worka of the great artists ate known to na by means of engravings, bat theise, at the very beat, are but faint ahadowa of their originals, and they are den cleat in the very qualities that student most highly prise. A very large number of the efforts of the early and inferior masters, too, have never been re produced in any manner, and the American student la thus deprived or the meant or acqtlrlng a fair knowledge or the growth and development or modern art such aa ta afforded by almost any one of the great collections of Kurope. Independently, too, of the finished works, there re main thousands of aketchea and studies that are in the highest degree Interesting and valuable, and these it would bo hopeless to aee In any shape on this aide of the Atlantic If photography did not come to our aid and give them to us witn a fidelity and exactness that would be impossible by any other method of copying. Happily these rare art treasures re by thla meana made available to the public of the whole world, and the American artist la put In possession of worka that bnt a few years ago were ao far beyond hit reach that It appeared useless ever to sigh for them. The original! of course are of priceless value, but for All practlcaf purposea the copies obtainable for a few dollars are worth just aa much, provided they are faithful In every particular. Photography in thla matter has done for art what the printing press has for literature. A manuscript of "Paradise Lost" In MUton'a handwriting If any such exists of courso has a value Independent of any merit In the poem, which we are well satisfied to possess In Its printed shape; and first-rate photo graphic copies of Michael Angelo'a "Last Judg ment," and the other great frescoes of the Sistlne Chapel, are all that lovers of art need care for. Indeed, these afford opportunities for close exami nation aoM atudy that the originals do not, and we have them given to us, with all their merits and defects, in a shape that would have gladdened the hearts of former generations, and that cannot fall to have a moat beneficial effect on art culture. Immense numbers of these "autotypes'" have been made, and Sir. Charles F. Uaseltlne, No, 1125 C'hes nut street, who Is the American agent for them, has over five thousand specimens at his establishment. A large proportion of them are ac-timilt copies In every respect as size, tint of paper, and color of ' the chalk or wash of the sketches and studies of Michael Angelo, Raphael, Corregglo, Albert Dnrer, Rembrandt, Rubens, Van Dyck, and other great painters. In these we see the germs of the master pieces that are the admiration of the world, and tbey enable ns to study the style and method of the draughtsmen aa could be done In no other manner. . These autotypes are printed by the carbon process, and it is claimed that they are as Imperishable at the originals. They are sold, according to size, at prices varying from one to ten dollars, and the majority are ao cheap that it is possible for every artist and connoisseur to become possessed of a collection of genuine old masters, the value of which la not to be treasured by the small outlay required. It la only necessary for ua to indicate the char acter of these autotypes for any lover of art to un derstand their Impoitance. 80 far aa the sketches and studies In chalk, wash or Ink are concerned, they re exact reproductions, and supply every deside ratum.. Of course, In copies of large paintings and fresooeB something Is necessarily lost. There Is a reduction in size ana a iota 01 coior, dui ineir autotypea give what no engraving can ever do the touch of the artist and they admit or a close ex amination, such as Is impracticable with regard to many of the originals nnder the most favorable auspices. . For instance, Mr. Uaseltlne has a large number of autotypes or the "Last Judgment" of Michael Angelo and his great frescoes on the celling of the Sistlne Chapel. These are of varloua sizes- some of which represent the whole design, others give single groups and figures, and others heads, examples of foreshortening, and other Items of in terest to artists especially. Such an opportunity to study the greatest works of Michael Aagelo has aialn1v nvr ton vtrMentAit hefira. n d rh Blo-hr. or these superb' photographs selling for a few dol ' larseaoa la enough to excite the enthusiasm of any one who loves art for Its own sake, or who desires to see Its advancement In America. Mr. Baseltlne Is well known at a connoisseur; of experience and taste, and it Is credits We to his en terprise, and a source or gratification to lovers or art in Philadelphia, that he should have established the agency for these works for this city. The autotypes are handsomely mounted in a stjie suitable for framing or the portfolio, and we re pleased to learn that many of them nave been sold here, while large orders have been filled for New York and other cities. Our Academy of Fine Arts, with aa enter prise that does It credit, was among the first to make a selection for the use of its students, and we only wish that It had aecured a much larger number than It did. It Is to art students that the autotypea are particularly valuable, and It Is Important that such Institutions as the Academy of Fine Arts and the School of Design should have full collections, We therefore urge upon those who hare an Interest in art education to extend what aid they Can la MIS mailer, ana smnuio vur kuuvh w uu mil that their conductors desire for the advancement of the students. It would also be an excellent thing if a judiciously arranged aeries of the autotypes could be hung upon the walla of every one or the puouo schools, where they would remain as a perpetual means of culture. The low price at which they are offered for sale would enable this to be done at a comparatively small expense, while the benefits that would be conferred cannot be estimated at any pecuniary valuation, and it would be an Important step in that education of the publlo taste without which art in America will always want that encour agement that It ought to receive. Mr. Uasoltlue in his main galleries has a fine col lection of paintings, about seventy In number, which contains works of iome of the best modern artist. These have been selected with great care, and they are mostly pictures of a very high class, auoh aa are seldom ottered to the public. The entire collection wtll be sold at auction on the evenings of Thursday and Friday next, and we Invite for them .w. ... ...... haA wKa wlflh . 1ft.il thttl homes with works of undoubted merit Hall to-morrow evening.
