THE PARIS EXHIBITION. 200,
As the head of Swedish artists we shall naturally place
H. M. Charles XV., who exhibits a landscape offered to the
Emperor of the French. A picture painted by a King for
an Emperor! that is what may be called the aristocracy of
art.
Among plebeian artists, we may mention Wallander, who
has a charming picture representing a young maid plucking a
daisy ; Ankarkrona, who shows two African battle scenes
of a good colour; Kiorboe and his spirited hunts, and
Hoeckert, whose Lapland sketches are very original.
The most remarkable Norwegian picture is Tidemand's
Single Combat in Ancient times. One of the combatants
stretched on a bench is struggling in the agonies of death,
whilst his adversary is carried away grievously wounded.
In the middle stands an old woman who is cursing the
brawlers, and whose irate face is full of expression.
