811 T I rolls. !Munich Art. We bad a delightful thirty minutes' talk last -2— ctifiTtig - witirstateractl - artist — wWhad - recently seen the architecture and paintings at Munich. Ftmillarized with the drawings of Kardbach and Cornelius, our countrymen feel great curiosity, about, BO a strong tendency to belief in, the Bavarian art-revival brought about by King Lud wig. This faith is greatly moderated by actual inspection. The new buildings, we recollect, aro mostly praised in Fergusson's (reliable) "History of Arehlteetme;" the designs, 3..owever, are all that come within the scope of that writer, who proba bly described from elevations and may never /nto seen the buildings themselves; it takes away from our reverence for these Attic constructions to learn that they are theatrically massed togeth er out of stucco, hardly anything about them beiug real and permanent but the stone stair way& The interior architecture is expressly prepared —as were the chaml.ors of the time of the great Roman school; the stanza of the Vatican and the 13ixtine and Pauline Chapels—so as to present large plane surfaces for_the reception of frescoes: *on these immense flats the modern grandiose Bavarians, with the sensations of Michael Angelo and Raphael, have spread out their epical corn. positions. If you wish to preserve your admiration for the works, of Cornelius and Kaulbach, and even Piloty, confine your examination rigidly to the ne engravings which have been prepared, or to the cartoons or photographs of them. lianthaeles portrait of Ludwig, bequeathed by Mr. Hagedorn to our Academy of Fine Arts, is an exceedingly favorable specimen of his power us a colorist. In large .aural paintings he be' comes completely lost, and bk. color-harmonies' are a haze of changing experiments. Even MS faculty of drawing (which, though on a peculiar theory, looks strong in the cartoons,) fails him in this brush-work. You have perhaps seen the transcendently Ingenious arabesque borders, or triezes,made up of genii who, playing through scroll-work, represent the whole history of civilization, in-the Musde at Berlin. These orna ments are dressed up, in the tine line engraving by the Prussian Eichens, so as to appear like gems of clear drawing and modeling. In the frescoes the color Is so inferior as to lower their character by many degrees. By all means, for a high appreciation of Kaulbach,keep your mind on those drawings, or monochrome copies of draw ings. You will admire him for shat he is—a most ingenious conceiver of pictures, a great art anther, a master of painting in its expressive or literary function. Cornelius is a much better draughtsman, how 6er, than Kanleack. His cartoons have tone and beauty, unlike those of the latter,.which are hard and square, with hateful reminiscences of the stained-glass manner. But, in contemplating the fresco-paintings of Cornelius, your illusions derived from his chalk-pictures are dispelled; you see broad rose-color flesh, lilac, pea•greens and skim-milk in every style of fade dissipation; then, at a particular passage, the artist plucks up a cer tain feminine courage, and loads on glazes of vermilion, one over the other, with a spasmodic determination to be vigorous; and these patches are visible all across the hall. From one margin of his vast works to the other, no system of col. oration, no kind of a theory, but a miserable and unprincipled trust in the decorative character of a few wall-paper tints. Munich possesses some admirable specimens of the old masters, including the most exquisite Vandykes and powerful Rubensea. In its sprawling Musts of modern art, says our Informant, it harbors vast quantities of perfectly atrocious work, which would be considered adis grace at any spring exhibition of our Academy of Fine Arts. A contributor to the Saturday Review reminds us, however, that the celebrities who created the Munich renaissance are no longer to be con sidered as contemporaries. Kaulbach is old. Cor nelius, whom Niebuhr described as a young fiery enthusiast, not many months since passed away in feebleness at the goodly age of seventy-eight. Hess likewise, who lives in the lovely decora tions of Ali Saints Chapel and the Basilica of Bt. Bonifece, now rests from his labors; Bchwantha ler, too, the most prolific of sculptors. IS gone; Ludwig himself has left the scone, and his good deeds rather than his follies are remembered in his grave; Schnorr, known in Munich by his frescoes in the King's Palace illustrative of the Niebelungenhed, and w ell reputed even in Eng land by his Bible prints, alone among his com peers survives, stricken in years, his eye no longer clear to see, nor his hand firm to execute, designs which imagination still struggles to create. The modern Munich school, it appears from this traveler, is in the hands of Piloty. "Carl Piloty, the realist, who has been long known to visitors in the New Pinakothek by a powerful melodrama,the 'Death of Wallenatein,' and,who made a brilliant debut in London in 1862 by 'Nero among the Ruins of Rome,' is the star that now rules in the zenith. Many orbs of lesser magnitude shine around the meteor with bor rowed light ; the united fire casts into eclipse the waning lamps which only a few years since were bright in the upper sky. This revulsion, which may be remarked,„thongh not wholly regretted, has been brought about by that principle of reac tion which eo oft asserts its power in history. The spiritualism of Over beck was almost sure to swoon itself away; the swelling convulsions of Come- HUB were tortured to the death, the sweet pla cidity of Hess expired at length in soulless in anity, and so nature rushed in to till the void, and is now intent on avenging herself for long neglect. Hence the rise of Carl Piloty, the real ist, the materialist, the naturalist, who, present ing himself with a following of eighteen disci vies, carried off a first prize in the last Paris In ternational exhibition. The characteristics of thisthe reigning school in Munich are strongly pronunced and easy to be understood. Instead of the quiet contemplation to which the so-called Christian art of modern Germany has been sur rendered, Piloty and hie followers commit them selves to dramatic action, stirring situations, the surprise of a plot, and the climax of a catastro phe. In lien of generic types,these men seize on individualities; instead of ideal beauty, they pre fer eccentricity in the concrete; in place of hu manity in the abstract, they put trenclunt cha racter; hence they stand at equal distance from classic grace and Christian spiritualism.. And yet this revulsion cannot be regretted, provided always the rebound be not too far in the oppo site extreme. The prior Munich school, by the condition of its birth, was sure to wear itself out, and, instead of lingering years painfully pro longed, a speedy end may be accounted a blessing. Young Munich is now ex ulting in the vigor and vitality of immediate contact with nature. Forms hith erto hard, cold and petrified, move in life, and warm under generous impulse. Flesh and muscle, dry and withered as parchment, have once more blood in the veins, and color glows within the tissue e: in short, the art which had sickened unto death Starts into life renewed. So far good. Yet, while we admire a body healthy and robust, dra pery glittering and real, light dazzling as a sun ray, texture true to substance and surface, we may be permitted to deplore the soul that has fled. Overheek, Cornelius, Veit, and others of the elder school had always largeness of intent: Piloty and his followers have sometimes no large nose at all, save of canvass. Cornelius painted the ' Last Judgment:' the uew school of realism and romance depicts a love-scene under a bower, life-size, within a flaunting frame twenty feet square!" There is in Munich a "Bayerisches Nations Museum," comparable with those at the Rote Cluny and at the South Kensington,whose object Is 'stated to be to illustrate the history of art in the kingdom of Bavaria through Its ancient monuments and - art-products, to elucidate the relation between national arts and the civiliza tion of the people, and lastly, to bring the best work of past time to bear upon the industries of the present day. As accessory to the main ob ject, the walls have been covered with a series of vast frescoes Mastrative of the national annals Of theED - utQuetrous paintings the writer 6peuks, In conclusion of his article, as the e latest manifestation of the Mantel" School. "The prodialus wall pictures which decorate Or disfigure the fiayerisebee Museum, 143 in _number s -..it , tiesimes-110....teet_in_length,pre-- sent un acreage more tempting to a land sur veyor than to an art Critic. These interminable fields, given as a prey to fac,sword, the glories of war in the annaki of Bavarla—are truly appalling in -more ways .than one. Fortu nately the whole series is not uniform In bad- TICEE; indeed, for Fake of conciseness, these 143 ores may be disposed under the following heads—first, pictures that would serve hs pla cbrds to traveling caravan-..secondly, paintings which rise to the standard of the frescoes in oar own Henan of Parliament; and thirdly, a few rare products by Piloty, Andreas Muller, and Wagner, which for power of baud, brilliance of light, and mastery over materials, are scarcely surpassed either in ancient or modern times. Among these marvels in .their way, , we give en pretne rank to Piloty's tour de force, "Aturstinrga lefithezeit im XVI. mid Anfang des XVII Jahr hunderts." The wall-space the artist occupies Is not less than thirty feet by ten feet; the figures arc above life-size; the characters, among whom 'is conspicuous Ilene Holbein, have individuality and force; the cast of the drapery Is broad, na turalistic, not academic; the figures are well lighted, and stand from the surface in rounded relief. Color has been fairly managed, better than is usual in the monu mental decorations of Germany; tone and keep ing are well preserved; transparency takes the place of opacity; luminosity, aerial perspective, d range of space are gained for the deadness. flatness and hardness which seemed inseparable from high art in Munich. The realism, not to say the materialism, to which Pilots , surrenders, his style, tells to advantage in details of drapery and reflected lights glittering on the marble pave merit. Piloty has sometimes been charged, and not unjustly, with sinking the mental qualities of art to mere materialism; yet in this his great est achievement, we a e bound to admit that the heads of his figures reign 'supreme over the accessories. There is but one man in Europe who could come near to this masterpiece. We need hardly say that the only artist who, with the same weapons, could cope on perhaps more than equal terms with Piloty, is Piloty has never proved himself a match for his rival In fertility of creation, in reach of imagine ; tion; yet we incline to give him the advantage in a rapier-like keenness of thrust, in sparkle of touch, and in mastery over materials. Piloty's reading of history may be likened to Macaulay's narrative, brilliant and lucid, with the interpola tion of trenchant traits, startling as the epithets which sting in the pen of Carlyle. These blatint wall-paintings. which usurp an area of sixteen thousand square feet in Bavaria'a National Mu seum, enforce with a vengeance all that can be spoken of the change now passing over the face of the atte In Munich. We here encounter noth ing of the grandiose manner of Cornelius, noth ing .oe lee subjective spirituality of Overbeck, lietleßifillie classic idealism of Katillstete but in stead, „much of the force and nobility of Dela recite, somewhat of the melodrama of Gallait, and a great deal of the vulgar power and bravura of Horace Vernet. Thus do the divers schools of European art tend to a cosmopolitan phase which is easy to assume, just in proportion as art surrenders elevation of thought and treat ieent. Yet, whatever be the vicisaitudes through which Munich may pass, her school - seems likely to retain certain prevailing charac teristics. For the painting of history her artists obviously hold the recipe; they are evidently trained in the precepts of the historic schooL As experienced novel-writers know how to dispose of characters and wind up narratives to a plot in the third volume, so Munich painters have learnt how, within a hundred square feet of wall-space, to marshal their forces, to group and balance their figures, and to bring lines of composition together, whether by concords or contrasts. Moreover, we incline to think that the painters of Bavaria are fired by some enthusiasm; they set to work as the chroniclers to whom is en trusted the honor of the nation, and they ply the brush under the impulse of patriotism. Never theless, in the history of the Fatherland their works will mark decadence." A young and poor Italian sculptor of genius has not the chance of fortune which awaits his American contemporary. Poor Bastlanint, of the "Benivieni Bust," was forced to sell his talent —not so very culpably, we think—to tricksters in the brie..a-brae business. We learn from the Florence Italic that an exhibition of the works left by the poor fellow at his recent death will be held in Paris in December. The idea is due to a Florentine antiquary and collector of works of art, who took a strong interest in Bastianini, and has seen most of his works growing under his hand. In the exhibition will be seen several works undeniably by him, and connoisseurs will be able to compare these with the bust of Benivieni which has given rise to so much controversy. Among persons already acquainted with the works of the deceased sculptor, very little doubt can be said to exist on the subject. They are convinced, almost without exception, that Count Nieuwer kerke and many other zonnoisseurs have been mistaken in believing the Benivieni bust to be a Cinque Cento, and that it is simply the work of Bastianini. Among the things exhibited there will be a bust of Isotta, in colored terracotta; one of Lucretia Donati, the mistress of Lorenzo de Medici, executed in marble,withoat any previous clay model, and the bust of Count Jennison,done from portraits since the Count's death The flaming sunsets of Edward Theldebrandi used to be the centres, a few years since, of the fine Bailey and other collections, as hung for ex ploitation in the Acadethy. These singular paintings, with the history of their author, are thus noticed in the Evening Post: 'The death of Edward Hieldebrandt leaves va cant a specialty in landscape painting among European artists which will remain a long time without a worthy successor. This artist many years ago attracted the attention of Baron Hum boldt, through whose influence Hieldebrandt was sent by the King of Prussia to Brazil, where he remained some years, painting the grand scenery of the South American continent- While thus engaged he made one or two trips to Now Or leans. Some thirteen years ago he came to this city with the intention of making it a permanent home, bringing with him from Germany a num ber of his best pictures. But he received no en couragement, and was, while - here, indebted to Mr. Gignoux for studio-room. Becoming com pletely discouraged, he left his pictures in store and returned to Berlin. A few months after he reached his home he achieved a wide-spread reputation,and for a time became the fashion. Americans abroad were particularly dazzled by brilliant colors, and flocked to his studio, and consequently he was, even at enormous prices, unable to supply the demand for his works. In this strait he sent for the pictures he bad stored in America, and sold them for princely sums to the very persons who had refused to purchase them in New York at merely nominal prices. "As a token of regard to a personal friend, he sent to New Orleans a picture entitled 'A Sun set on the Island of Madeira.' There was extraordinary power displayed In the glowing colors, and many spectators insisted upon ex amining the back of the picture to see that the extraordinary effect was not produced by the aid of tsanapar eat canvass anti artificial illumination. This important work, unfortunately for art in this country, was purehaaid by a rich German merchant and returned to Germany. The pic ture was literally what it claimed to be— a sunset; and the illumination, instead of being confined to a small space on the picture, was dif fused throughout -the whole- canvas; even the darkest shadows trembled and glowed with light and teat. One of the points most remarkable was the fire in - tie middle-ground underneath a not containing aid evening meal of the fisherman present. The fire was in full blast, and evidently funned into intensity by the rising evening breeze, yet the living coals appeared blue, com pared with the golden hues of the departing tun." WIEADE'e. MONUMENT TO LINCOLN.—Mr. Larkin G. kleade's design for the Springileld monument to President Lincoln is simple yet imposing and Impressive. It is a granite shaft 70 feet high, placed on a base, and pedestal rising 30 feet— snaking the entire elevation 100 feet. The base rises thirteen feet,and is low and massive. Within this portion of the monument Is the family tomb, in which the remains of Mr. Lincoln are to be placed; and here also Is the "Memorial," in which are to be gathered articles and mementoes of interest relating to his person, life and admin istration. The top of the base is a platform, t.pon which a thousand people may congregate n any occasion of reminiscence or worship. As cending, we next Mlle to the series of pedestals THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN--PHILADELPHIA from amid which the shaft rises, and which are adorned with sculptured groups illustrating the different branches of the military and naval service. One group represents the cavalry arm, another the infantry; the third thin nrtiltery, and — the — fourth — represonts — the navy. The figures in these groups are nine feet high, and display spirit and fervor. The statue of Lincoln at the foot and base of the 'shaft, is ',twelve feet high, and represents Mai nt the mo ment of signing the Proclamation of Emancipa tion. Below, in Gothic characters,is the immor tal name—Lincoln. Of courseSrom the draw ing, we can form no conception of the measure of success Mr. Meade will achieve with the figure of the martyr President; but we hope to see in It something of the touch and force of genius. Encircling the pedestals are the shields containing the names of different States of the Union, which are linked together— the idea being that through the wisdom of Lin coln an - d -the efforts of the army, the States were maintained id the grand circle of the Union. The shaft, which we now reach, Is in the obelisk form, with the edges cut away, and, presents all the value and striking simplicity of that ancient monumental and commemorative design. It tapers to a point at the top, and the whole is sur mounted by a globe, on which stands an eagle with distended wings. There is no doubt that Mr. Meade's design was far the beet offered to the Committee who have in charge the erection of the monument; and wo hope that with the alterations and improvements be intends to make in it, it will finally stand as a true work of art, worthy of bearing the name of the good and wise man which is inscribed upon is front. The monument will cost $200,000. Of this nearly three-fourths have already been raised ; $50,000 was voted for the work by the Legisla ture of Illinois, and the remainder must come in the shape of voluntary popular contributions. The monument will be erected at Springfield, 111., and seven acres of land near the town have been set apart as a locality for it. The following gentlemen constitute the Montt ment Committee, who have the work in charge, and who selected the design of Mr. Meade from those offered : Governor Richard J. Oglesby, Jesse-K.:Dubois, Orlin H. Miner, Ozias M, Hatch, John T. Stuart, Samuel H. Treat, Newton Bateman, James C. Con Ming, Samuel H. Melvin Jacob Bunn, John Williams,Thomas J.Denuls, James IL Beveridge. David L. Philips, Sharon Tyndale. The following official report from Commodore Sands, Superintendent of the Naval Observatory, in ngard to the recent meteoric showers, was re ceived at the Navy Department onSaturday after noon: 18 ITED STATES N.A V.A I. OBSERVATORY, WASH INGioN, November 14, 1863. —Sir: I have the honor to submit the following report of thu meteoric showers this morning: During the evening of the 13th instant, no greater number of meteors were to be seen than are usually observed in a clear night until about 11 P. M., when there seemed to be eq. Increase in number and brilliancy, though not suffi cient to indicate the beginning of a shower. At midnight the number had consider ably increased. and the prevalence of trains was generally noted. At 12.35 the observing idarty, consisiing of Professor Eastman and Messrs. Harrison, Frisby and Hays, began to count the meteors and to plot the tracks of the principal ones that appeared in that portion of the heavens covered by the star chart constructed at the Ob servatory in 1867. At 1.35, three hundred meteors had been counted, most of them quite brilliant, and nearly all leaving green, blue or red trains. Thus far the display had not been confined to any portion of the sky, but most of them were in the northern and southern heavens, and scarcely any where in a position to be placed upon the star cuart. Many of the trains were visible for several min utes, and one lasted for ten minutes, and traces of one near B Urea Minoris was seen for thirty minutes after the appearance of the meteor. After 1.50 A. M. Professor Eastman, assisted by Mr. Harrison, devoted his-time to mapping and noting the time of apparition of the princi pal meteors, and succeeded in sketching the tracks of about 90. At 1.43 A. M. 400 had been counted, and afterwards the successive hundreds were observed in the following intervals. I The intervals are here given by Commodore Sands. I The observations wore continued until 6 A. M.,at which time there had been counted 5,078. At 2.20 A. M. Professor Lewis and son joined the party of observers, and assisted in counting the meteors In the western heavens. Daring the whole display there were many meteors seen in the Wein, but from 4 to 5 A. M., the number were about equal in the cast and west. The time of the maximum frequency of the meteors was about five hours, when they fell at the rate of about 2,500 per hour. The radiant point was quite well defined during the latter part of the chewer, and was found by estimation to be about 149 degrees in right ascension, and 22 minutes 30 seconds in declination. The trains were unnsually brilliant, presenting the va rious shades of green, orange, blue and red, and remained visible for an unusual length of time. Frequently as many as five could be seen at or.ce, presenting the appearance when nearly diskipated of light cirrus clouds. The shower commenced several hours before it was expected, as it was predicted last year that it would be seen in the Pacific Ocean only in 1868. A number of star charts were distributed several days ago to the various observatories and scientific men of the country, and it is believed that many valua ble observations have been made, of which we will soon learn. Very respectfully, your obedient servant, B. F. SANDS, Commodore and Superintendent The Late Bank Robbery and Murder at Alton, 111.—Arrest of One of the Murderers. (From the St. Louie Republican, Nov. 151 The particulars of the Alton bank robbery and the murder of the private watch man t on the night of Oct. 31, were sent'in a circular by the author ities of Alton to all parts of the country, and in this way Marshal Ktek, at, the head of the Police Department of Kansas City, was posted in the matter, and kept his eyes open for the perpetra tors of the outrage, a pretty accurate description of all the four men supposed or known to have been engaged in it being given in the circular. A couple of young fellows made their appearance in Kansas City last week, and the Marshal at once "piped," followed, or kept track of them. From the description he felt confident that one of them was James St. Clair, one of the accused, and when he ascer tained that the fellow had endeavored to sell some revenue stamps and nickels to the' bank in that place, he was morally certain of it. Telegraph ing to Alton for some one to come up who could identify Bt. Clair,last Fridaythe Marshal tracked the two men into a saloon, whore they were playing cards. Marshal Keck stood behind St. Clair until he "played his hand out," and then taking both men by the collars, informed them that they were his prisoners. To say that they were scared, particularly Bt. Clair, would not ex press the consternation depicted on their coun tenances. Lodging them in jail, he awaited the arrival of some one from Alton. On Saturday. Detective Wright (formerly of the detective force of this city, now in the employ of the railroad companies on the oppo site side of the river in a similar capacity) arrived, and at once identified St. Clair. Of the other there is some doubt, and his name is there fore withhold. Both, however, in charge of the Marshal and Wright, reached this city . on Mon day night, and were lodged in the calaboose for safe keeping. For fear of the habeas carpus dodge, which is taken advantage of not nnfre (ineptly as well to screen the criminal as to pre vent injustice to innocent men, the fact of the ar rest in Kansas City, as well as the arrival in this city, was kept dark, until the prisoners could be made secure within reasonable distance of the bare of operations. When captured, St. Clair had some of the revenue stamps in his posses sion, and altogether, in stamps and nickels, must - have had about,e3oo. It will be remembered that the robbers did not succeed in getting into the safe, and only got some $.BOO in revenue stamps and nickels. The capture of St. Clair gives hope that all the scoundrels will be brought to justice, and Marshal Keck deserves much credit for his sagacity and energy. —Within four hours' ride of Montreal by rail is a colony of from twenty thousand to twenty flve thousand Highlanders.
