Deveria (1805—1865) was also for a long time
neglected, although he produced some remarkable
little works, as did Tassaert (1800—1874) when he
did not stray into historic painting. Other names
which should be remembered are those of Alfred
and Tony Johannot (1800—1837 and 1803—
1852), the one an excellent engraver, the other a
portraitist of refined technique; further, Celestin

he managed to stimulate our interest in his art by
a number of delightful studies and other pre-
liminary work, thus enabling us to gain a
deep insight into his methods. In this
way Jungmann makes a strong appeal to
the French art-lover, who finds a particular
relish in this intimate side of a painter’s
art. H. F.
Nanteuil (1813—1873), an imaginative and gifted
artist; and various others whose works . in the
course of a few years will be more and more
sought after.
Mr. Nico Jungmann has been showing at the
Georges Petit Galleries an interesting collection
of his characteristic water-colours, one of which,
by the way, has been acquired for the Musee
du Luxembourg. There is no need for me to
say anything here in praise of this young artist,
whose work has from time to time been noticed
in The Studio. But I should like to indicate
in a word the salient feature of this exhibi-
tion of his. While showing us his finished
works, recalling certain pictures by the Primitifs,
the “little masters” of the Romantic school.
We are entirely of their opinion in this respect,
for it seems to us to be quite certain that these
masters, hitherto but little inquired after, will
before long be very much in vogue. Hervier (1818
•—1879), a delightful landscapist who carried
onwards the tradition of Isabey, is already high
in the esteem of some amateurs; and Jules Noel
{1819—1881) will always claim a place of honour
in landscape collections.
