International studio (25.1905)

LANDSCAPE

Internationa! Expositions—in Chicago, 1S93, and
in Paris, 1900. He is a member of honour at the
Munich Academy of Art and of the Secession,
and a corresponding member of the Secession of
Vienna. His favourite, and in fact only medium,
is that of water-tempera, and his pic-
tures are all low in tone and harmonious
in effect rather than striking in con-
trasts. He has a habit of looking at
things through dark glasses so as to
do away with the unnecessary details
and to condense the light and shadow
into masses. He loves to have warm
tones next to cold ones, and there is
nothing he likes better than to wander
over the moor in the early morning and
pick out bits of its classic scenery to
be combined into one charming and
harmonious whole—just as his own per-
sonal feelings picture it.

the head of the painter-
etcher would bear a re-
markable resemblance to
that of the great Napo-
leon in his later days.
For all this serious
exterior, Jacque must
have had his vein of
humour, for, before he
settled down to make
those pictorial re-
cords of rural life which
have won for him un-
dying fame, he em-
ployed himself making
a series of caricatures
of doctors and their
patients and of soldiers
for such papers as the " Charivari."
Then, later, he composed and etched as a
" remarque" on his plate the fol-
lowing quaint and very blank verse in a lingo
known only to himself:

THE portrait of Charles Jacque etched
by himself delineates for us a man of
deep thought, his face somewhat morose
in appearance, and worn into picturesque
furrows by work and weather. Were it
