Seite 64 - Royal Academy in 1828 ; and wherever he appears he astonishes and triumphs. He was good, indeed, at whatever he chose to essay. In lithography — a medium in which the Romanticists won some of their greatest triumphs — he was equally active and expert ; his work in oils was worthy of the time of brave experiment and achievement at which it was done ; in water-colours he was a head and shoulders better than the best about him. Then, his versatility was uncommon : he painted water, and he painted...
Seite 212 - ... an influence for the best, alike in Morals and in Art; and I can say with a certain assurance that the younger men knew nothing of him. What they got in his room was a Someone, bright-eyed, a little flushed, ever courteous, ever kindly, ever humorous, taking any bit of the Universe as his theme, descanting upon it as if he had a prescriptive right in it, and delighting every one who listened by 1 It would have been grossly out of order.
Seite 72 - His method is the large, serene, and liberal expression of great craftsmanship ; and to the interest and the grace of art his colour unites the charm of individuality, the richness and the potency of a kind of natural force. His training in landscape was varied and severe ; and when he came to his right work, he applied its results with almost inevitable assurance and tact. He does not sentimentalise his animals, nor concern himself with the drama of their character and gesture. He takes them as...
Seite 97 - His fairy meadows and enchanted gardens are so to speak 'that sweet word Mesopotamia ' in two dimensions : their parallel in literature is the verse that one reads for the sound's sake only — in which there is rhythm, colour, music, everything but meaning. If this be painting, then is Monticelli's the greatest of the century. If it be not — if painting be something more than dabbling exquisitely with material — • then...
Seite 18 - Now, Byron is pre-eminently a young men's poet; and upon the heroic boys of 1830 — greedy of emotion, intolerant of restraint, contemptuous of reticence and sobriety, sick with hatred of the platitudes of the official convention, and prepared to welcome as a return to truth and nature inventions the most extravagant and imaginings the most fantastic and far-fetched — his effect was little short of maddening. He was fully translated as early as 1810-20; and the modern element in Romanticism —...
Seite 214 - I sit here grieving for both, that we shall get ten Lewises, or an hundred even, or ever we get a Bob. Nothing like him has ever passed through my hands. He was what I have said ; and there was in him a something mystical which I, who was long as close to him as his shirt, never quite fathomed.
Seite 206 - I ever esteemed in him a far rarer spirit, a far more soaring and more personal genius than I found in his famous cousin ; and in this view I was in no wise singular. Had you met him by chance, and been privileged to hear him discourse on his prime subject, you must inevitably have thought him a prince among artists : so full of reasoned inspiration were his conclusions, so luminous his statements, so far-reaching and suggestive his illustrations. You could not have helped yourself; and in the end...
Seite 17 - ... Defauconpret — of which some fourteen hundred thousand volumes were sold in his very lifetime. And his generous and abounding influence was felt with equal force by the average reader and the pensive poet. To say nothing of Cromwell, which may well be referable in some sort to les Puritains d'ficosse (which is, being interpreted, Old Mortality], one of Hugo's first attempts in drama was an Amy Robsart written in collaboration with Paul Foucher ; Op.
Seite viii - Knight's pancakes), at least I may claim to have read few books into my pictures, to have done my best to keep my painting more or less unlettered, to have proffered my conclusions, such as they are, fairly well purged of sentiment.
Seite 19 - ... sobriety, sick with hatred of the platitudes of the official convention, and prepared to welcome as a return to truth and nature inventions the most extravagant and imaginings the most fantastic and far-fetched — his effect was little short of maddening. He was fully translated as early as 1810-20; and the modern element in Romanticism — that absurd and curious combination of vulgarity and terror, cynicism and passion, truculence and indecency, extreme bad-heartedness and preposterous self-sacrifice...
