Studio- Talk
of whose work is now reproduced—is their freedom
of execution, which is combined with sureness of
drawing and ease in translating direct from nature ;
for Belleroche never makes any preparatory
sketches for his lithographs, but throws his im-
pressions on the stone itself. Moreover, the artist,
without assistance, prints all his own plates. Hence
their high preciosity and their strong and real
artistic value in our eyes.
M. Rene Piot is exhibiting at Georges Petit's a
considerable number of beauti'ul and original
copies made by himself in the Chapelle des
Espagnols, Florence, together with a series of
water-colours done from nature in the neigh-
bourhood of Lake Thun and in the Bernese
Oberland. The charm of these latter consists
chiefly in their faithful rendering of the most fleet-
ing and transitory effects of light and atmosphere:
the snow-clad mountain tops tinted, according to
the hour, with white and pink and azure; the
surface of the waters ranging from blue to opal;
the deep defiles, now sombre, now glaucous—all
this and more M. Piot notes with extreme dexterity
of touch. After following for some time in the
footsteps of Gustave Moreau, his master, M. Piot
is now giving proof of genuine originality by fixing
those phenomena of light and those mountain
scenes which, since Turner's day, have been so
much neglected by artists.
The annual display of the Cercle Volney con-
tains but little that is new this year. However,
one may have the great satisfaction of seeing there
fine portraits by M. Flameng, M. Triquet, and
M. Lauth, and particularly a masterly male portrait
by M. Emile Wauters. Then, as in former years,
there are landscapes by M. Lami, M. Gosselin,
and M. Imbert, who attracted attention last winter,
and has since made decided progress; and the
visitor will enjoy a clever little landscape, wherein
M. Chabas reveals kinship with Besnard. But
the real novelties this year are the landscapes ot
M. Eugene Chigot. Here truly is an artist carry-
ing on the fine tradition of the Flemish colourists,
his ancestors. He is, as a matter of fact, a native
interior and furniture
