MODERN MASTERS AT BARBIZON HOUSE
“ THE CANAL, DORDRECHT ”
BY JACOB MARIS
vigorously observed, and the whole is firmly
knitted into a design of uncommon beauty
and poignant imaginings. All Turner's
works are original, but the Dudley Castle
is perhaps one of the most original of his
drawings. It seems to have foretold and
summed up all that the more enterprising
and experimental artists of Europe have
been trying to do since Turner died. 0
In a brief notice it is obviously impos-
sible to refer to a tithe of the numerous
things Mr. Thomson has displayed at
Barbizon House for the enjoyment of his
friends and patrons. Last July he de-
lighted them with the sight of a number
of Jean - Francis Millet’s drawings in
chalk, among them The Woodchoppers,
The Shepherdess and her Flock, The Sick
Child, and The Knitting Lesson. We had
54
seen several of these drawings before, as
they formed part of the Staats Forbes
collection, but who was not glad to see
them again i Lhermitte's crayon draw-
ings, The Woodman, The Market Place,
Bethune, A Street in St. Malo, and others
which Mr. Thomson was showing at the
same time are more academic in style than
Millet’s synthetic designs, but they possess
a quiet charm and compel respect and
admiration. Among the paintings which
I have seen recently in this gallery are
Corot’s Rideau d'Arbres, James Maris’s
The Canal, Dordrecht, some pieces by Mat-
thew Maris and D. Y. Cameron, an exqui-
site village-street scene, At Barbizon, by
Millet, and a characteristic little study.
