THE PARIS EXHIBITION.

177

ing of Chamyl's entrenchments by the Russians, drawn on the spot
by Horschelt.

Let us turn to more lively subjects : here is a Procession
overtaken by rain, which Baumgartner has most humourously
sketched. A country priest and his acolytes are beating a
hasty retreat through the fields, and everything is in the most
comical confusion.

• Louis de Hagen's Skittle ground; Hobach's Secret, wine-'
tasting, and Schnetz's Easter morning, are also good genre
pictures.

Zimmermann's Wedding cortege gives an excellent idea of
local costumes, and The Tyrolese forge, a winter scene by
Hoefer, makes us regret there are no other works by the
same artist.

A landscape, by Schleich, called A View of Starnberg, has a
remarkable effect of rain in the distance.

Brait's Cows and_ Sheep ; Voltz's Cattle passing a ford, and
the Return of the flock, by Voltz and Schleich, are worthy to be
signed Rosa Bonheur.

There are two remarkable series of small grisaille drawings-,
one, by Charles d'Ennhuber,. illustrates Suabian tales, the
other, by Arthur de Ramberg, Goethe's poem, Hermann and
Dorothea.

The Tanhauser shield, beautifully chased by Conrad, de-
lineates in all its phases the fantastical, and, we may add,
highly absurd history of this knight, who Is constantly float-
ing between Venus and the Virgin Mary*

We must not forget, before we leave the Bavarian pavilion,
to mention a beautiful collection of paintings on porcelain.

The Prussian pictures are exhibited in the Gallery of Fine'
