| THE DAUGHTER OF THE RAJAH - This oil painting
by
Paul Sinibaldi, of Paris, and another, "Salammbo," by the same
artist, hung on the north wall near the west corner in Gallery 56 of
the East Pavilion at the Art Palace, where the exhibit of France in
the Fine Arts was made. Our picture was also shown at the Paris
Universal Exposition of 1889, and was greatly admired, both at Paris
and at Chicago, on account of its brilliant coloring.
THE PALM OFFERING - It happens that when a painter gives himself
to the study of the arrested civilization, such as the Semitic, he
may tarry in the conservative methods of the past. He may be a
Raphael and Murillo in 1893. His work, holding the round and
unnatural forms of past art, appeals with tremendous historical force
to the eye. Of the two pictures above, doubtless the French one is
far the truest; but the world admires the antique model, and its
painter, Frederick Goodall, R. A., perhaps the greatest living
delineator of Asiatic and Holy Land subjects, receives the sincere
plaudits of the world. Goodall, by the production of just such works
as this mother and child, has been very famous for no less than forty
years. This picture was loaned to the British Section of Fine Arts
by Merton Russell Cotes, Esq., F. R. G. S., and was hung on the south
wall of Gallery 17. "The Sea of Galilee," by Goodall, was also to be
seen in the same gallery. |
