under the influence ot Richter, who was charmed
with her playing; but the desire to paint was
stronger than the desire to play. When she told
the famous conductor what her feelings were
he advised her to come to Vienna, giving her
a letter to Prof. Angeli, who, satisfied with the work
she showed him, accepted her as a pupil. It is
satisfactory to record that Miss Wenner has realized
his expectations ; and, although only twenty-two,
she has been successful in convincing
others of her capabilities as a portrait
painter. She has already received some
important commissions, one of them
being for portraits of the Duchess of
Teck and her children. A. S. L.
BERLIN. ■— The Habermann
Exhibition in the Schulte
Salon offered real pictorial
enjoyments. A strong and
yet most refined colourism reminded
one, in its depth and luminousness, of
Neapolitan and Spanish old masters.
He has a particular eye for the life of
the moving line, and this charm works
upon him so intensely that he overlooks
facial ugliness for the sake of keenly-
cut features and elastic hips. The feel-
ing for movement can carry Haber-
mann into exaggerations bordering on
caricature; but naturalism clad in the
choice taste of dandyism remains his
general art-character. Robert Weise,
from Stuttgart, loves nature so much
that there must always be something of
it in his pictures. He either paints real
landscape or portraits in this frame.
We always feel the magnetism of the
painter’s soul drawing forth
sympathies, but we cannot
help missing some sun in
his plein-air greyness.
Such treats are to be en-
joyed in the southern land-
scapes of Hans Busse,
whose collection of Italian
and Sicilian views exhaled
raptures in light and
colour. He has founded
his reputation by beauti-
ful sea-pieces in which
the splendour of metallic
reflections on azure
liquidity is enhanced
by the grey of rocky coasts.

Salon, whilst their strongest member, Professor Fritz
Erler, held a comprehensive personal exhibition in
the Kilnstlerhaus. Theprincipal signification of these
visitors for Berlin painters lies in their directness,
simplicity and sureness of brushwork. They all
