SCULPTURE GROUP: “A PROCESSION OF_MONKS ”
General Johann von Spork praying before the
decisive battle with the Turks at St. Gotthardt in
1664, and the other by Julius, Ritter von Blaas,
depicting a charge of dragoons at Kolin in 1757.
A work which has attracted much attention is
a painting by John Quincy Adams, called 1 he
Operation, showing an
operating - room, with a
surgeon about to operate
upon a woman. The
patient’s face is hidden,
but nearly all the other
details incidental to such
a scene are given in vivid
reality. It must be con-
fessed that one finds it
difficult to look at such
a realistic feat of painting
without a shudder, and
clever as it is one feels
justified in asking whether
a public exhibition like
the Kiinstlerhaus is the
proper place for it. No
question of that kind can
arise in regard to the
same painter’s portraits
of the prima donna
Portraits as usual form
a large element in this
exhibition of the Genos-
senschaft. That Professor
von Angeli, despite his
years, still maintains his
vigour and artistic feeling
is shown by his portrait
of the well-known sculptor
Professor Weyr. Pathetic
interest attaches to Laszlo’s
portrait of the aged actor,
Ritter von Sonnenthal,
who died suddenly a short
time ago, and remarkable
for its delicate treatment
is Laszld’s Princess Lilly
Kuiski. The same is to
be said of Leopold Horo-
witz’s portrait of his
daughter, which is indeed a fine performance.
Arthur von Ferraris’s portraits include one of his
daughter, whose auburn hair and fair face contrast
well with the greys and dark-blues of the picture.
Victor Scharf, Heinrich Rauchinger, Kasimir
Pochwalski, P. Joanowitsch, E. Leviedzki, and
W. V. Ivrausz, are all well represented. Nikolaus
