M. Jeanes
has been
showing at
the Major-
elle Galleries
some excel-
lent water-
colours,
vividly por
fraying the
inaccessible
peaks of the
Dolomites.
M. Jeanes
excels in
giving ex-
pression to
the aspects
of enormous
magnitude
and wild na-
ture, which
the Dolo-
mites pre-
sent. He is
a master of
colour; cer-
tain of his
Venice pic-
tures indeed
remind one
in this re-
spect of the
great Turner
himself.
Almost at one and the same time there were
opened a couple of exhibitions of artists who are
deservedly regarded as among the very first of
these times, and both of them, alas, no longer with
us. At the exhibition of Moreau’s works, at the
Petit Gallery, we were able to see some of this
master’s best things, already familiar to us by the
sketches and drawings at the Musee Moreau, while
others came from private collections, such as
Le Jeune Homme et la Mort, Jacob et I’Ange,
Galathee, Helhie sur les Murs de Troie ; further, a
whole series of water-colours illustrating the fables
of La Fontaine, and proclaiming unmistakably
one of the most powerful imaginations of these
days. If Moreau’s art flourished only in the
domain of dreams and legends, Fantin-Latour on
the other hand shows a deeper understanding of
life, and his exhibition at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts

only serves to strengthen our conviction that his
work will endure. Nothing can be more un-
affected, more true to life than the beautiful
portraits he has left behind him of those near and
dear to him. Then, again, Fantin reveals himself
to us as the most exquisite painter of flowers
among the modern French school. Finally, we
were enabled to enjoy once more those delightful
works of his which owe their inspiration to the
great musicians, Wagner, Brahms, Schumann,
Berlioz.
At Petit’s Gallery there has been an interesting
exhibition of the work of Jan Styka, including some
excellent portraits. His son, Tade Styka, who is
quite a young man, almost a child in fact, gives
proof of undoubted qualities in the pictures he
exhibited there.
The Span-
ish painter,
Rusinol, has
been show-
ing at the
same gallery
a collection
of his works,
of which I
shall say
something
on the next
occasion.
