Studio- Talk
instructive, but unfortunately it by no means
achieved its object. What it did do was to
present a very good picture of the work produced
at Dresden within recent times. All the leading
Dresden artists, Bantzer, Baum, Bendrat, Fiedler,
O. Fischer, Kuehl, Offermann, F. Rentsch, W.
Ritter, Sterl, Stremel, and Zwintscher, were well
represented.
Bantzer's most important work, Communion in
a Hessian Church, has recently found a lasting
home in the National Gallery at Berlin; he also
has an historical picture in the famous Dresden
Gallery. Recently he has turned his attention
more to landscape work, and at our exhibition
were four splendid specimens, of which a twilight
scene bears off the palm. Kuehl is also re-
presented in several public galleries. He
played an important part in Munich (where he
received the title of Professor) before he was
called to the Dresden Academy in r893- His
appointment is said to have been made with
the express understanding that he was to preside
over and raise the Dresden Salons to a position
equal to those of Munich, and the two exhibitions
of 1897 and 1899 have certainly secured him much
fame.
Professor Kuehl is a native of Liibeck, one of
the picturesque old Hanse towns, and he has
perhaps been more successful with Liibeck interiors
than with anything else. Since he has been in
Dresden he has devoted much attention to hunting
up picturesque bits here. His painting of the old
bridge over the Elbe, done in twilight with the
street lamps lit, as he sees it during winter after-
noons from the window of his studio, is a very
effective and good picture. He has repeated it
with slight variations several times, and the best
copy was bought by the Dresden Gallery.
