The Old and New Salons, Paris
both fine in technique and full of the true feeling of
an artist for nature. Landscape work was other-
wise well represented this year at the Nationale.
M. L’Hermitte showed a very fine picture of a
flock of sheep leaving the fold; M. Billotte pictures
the suburbs of Paris, and M. Montenard and M.
Dauphin some warm scenes of the South. The
landscapes, indeed, formed a nucleus of work such
as few Salons are able to offer us. We must give
space at least to mention the following: MM.
Prunier (views in the Pyrenees), Waidmann, Ernest
Chevalier, Peters-Desteract, Albert Moulle, Mil-
cendeau (whose cottages of the Vendee are finely
characteristic), Costeau, Madeline, Le Gout-Gerard
Le Mains, Lebourg, Willaert (very happy in. his
scenes of the “ dead cities ”), Auguste Lepere,
Griveau, Le Sidaner (who still maintains the
excellent level of his achievement), Morisset, Prinet,
Stengelin, Ullman and von Glehn—merely to single
out some of the most noteworthy exhibitors ; and I
would lay particular stress upon the excellent
modern landscape by M. Gillot, who has depicted
with fine colour some factories on the banks of a
river.
The portrait-painters at the Salon formed,
perhaps, a phalanx less numerous and less strong;
nevertheless here also there were some very in-
teresting things. Mr. Lavery showed this year a
very beautiful portrait; M. Boldini is always very
dexterous, but his colour seemed to suffer a little
from monotony; M. de la Gandara continued his
role as the faithful historian of the modern woman ;
MM. Gervex, Louis Picard, Bernard-Osterman,
Guirand de Scevola, Woog, Guiguet, Jeanniot,
Bracquemond, and Laszld also exhibited notable
portraits. M. Laszld’s Duchesse de Rohan, a work
of admirable freshness, is reproduced among our
illustrations.
In fact, we had here an excellent Salon in spite
of the abstentions named above, and I should not
like to conclude my notice of it without a last word
calling attention to the very sympathetically treated
and vivaciously painted flower-pieces of M. Henri
Dumont. Henri Frantz.
