Isabey's heavy-handed shipping scenes |
|
|
A Proud 'Historic,' of pretentious guile |
|
|
Tho' talent lacks of genius, fresh and free |
|
|
What Leagues are wandered by misguided men |
|
|
Daubigny pictured, with a trenchant tone |
|
|
No painter, of whatever day or race |
|
|
When Troyon strikes a sure and subtle key |
|
|
Valasquez tried to picture Antique themes |
|
|
A Restful beauty mellowed Corot's brush |
|
|
The Painters may pursue a clearer line |
