Studio: international art (8.1896)

Studio- Talk

Arild Rosenkrantz, is of the Gothic order and is
divided into four lights. The subject is the
Annunciation, which is treated in a decorative
and interesting manner, rather after the traditions
of the old Masters than in the pictorial style which
is so common among the stained glass workers of
this country. The window, which is erected by
Count James Gallatin, in memory of his mother,
is made altogether of American glass, and will un-
doubtedly prove of interest to glass-workers in
England, who have not hitherto had an opportunity
of seeing work of this kind as executed here.
Mr. Rosenkrantz, by the way, is one of the regular
exhibitors at the Rose + Croix.

BRUSSELS.—A very artistic and most
effective poster, by M. Henri Meunier,
nephew of the celebrated painter and
sculptor, Constantin Meunier, has
just appeared, having been prepared
for the Casino of Blankenberghe. It is broad in
its drawing, and deep in colour, and in arrange-
ment most quaintly conceived. M. Henri Meunier

had done some interesting posters before, in which
apparently he sought after conciseness of form
and boldness of colouring; but this last work of
his places him in the front rank as a designer of
affiches.

The first prize in the competition recently
arranged for a poster announcing the Brussels
Kermesse has quite rightly been awarded to M.
Victor Mignot, whose admirable poster for the
Cenacle was reproduced a month or two ago in The
Studio. His new design, which is already con-
spicuous on all the walls in the city, is very
original and full of movement, and possesses
the further essential quality of showing clearly
the purpose for which it is intended. The colour-
ing too is uncommon and full of distinction, and
attracts the eye at once by its brightness and
gaiety.

M. Lyon-Claessen, the publisher, has been
exhibiting at the Cercle Artistique here a series
of 200 Dutch water-colours of the end of the
