The Old and New Salons, Paris
Nineteenth-Century Fancy Dress Ball should be
mentioned as works of interest.
Landscape was represented at the Old Salon by
several works of really premier order. The delight-
ful drawing by the veteran artist M. Harpignies
which we here reproduce stood out unrivalled.
Cauvy, in his picture Alger la Blanche, revealed
himself as an admirable colourist; Boggs in his
views of Paris attained to decided mastery of his
art; and other notable contributions were the land-
scapes of MM. Andre des Fontaines, Chigot, A.
Guillemet, and F. Maillaud. Nor must we omit to
mention some interesting works sent to this Salon
by prominent English landscape painters such as
Mr. Hughes-Stanton (Les Baux, Provence, and
Pdturage du Pas-de-Calais), Mr. Terrick Williams
(.Le Soir a Concarneau and La Rholte du Goemon),
Sir Alfred East (La Foi), Mr. Walter Donne (A
Country Funeral in Scotland), Mr. A. Streeton
(Malham Cove, Yorkshire'), and two London scenes
by Mr. A. H. Fullwood.
Sculpture at the Old Salon was numerically
stronger than painting, there being over two
thousand exhibits in this section. The most
notable contributors were MM. L’Hoest, Lucchesi,
Segoffin, and Bacque, whose monument to Michael
Angelo we reproduce.
The Salon of the Societe Nationale des Beaux-
Arts was this year deprived of certain of its most
brilliant supporters. M. Lucien Simon had just had
a special exhibition chez Bernheim, and did not
desire to appear again before the public; MM.
Blanche and Menard reserved their productions
for Venice; M. Ch. Cottet has sent all his recent
work to Buenos Ayres ; Dauchez and Zakarian were
also absentees. But if these artists did not show,
there were, on the other hand, at this Salon works
by certain artists whose presence among us is some-
thing of a rarity, and in particular two Spanish
painters of distinguished talent—MM. Zuloaga and
Sert.
M. Zuloaga reappeared before the Paris public
with work which has gained still more in power and
in character. His technique is concerned less than
ever with seductive themes, and his palette is
occupied solely with forcible effects, with sombre
tones like those used by all the great masters of
the Spanish School. He was represented by three
