The Late Ary Scheffer, 1858. Creator: Unknown

The Late Ary Scheffer, 1858. Scheffer, an...eminent painter of the French school...studied art at Paris under the celebrated Guerin, and in that city practised both historical and genre painting with great success...His drawing is true and graceful, his touch firm, and his colour often beautiful. In France Ary Scheffer was regarded as the leader of devotional art, towards which he was carried by the strongest tendencies of his character. One of his countrymen has said of him: "All the world is able to admire some at least of those compositions which have become popular, where distinguished taste is associated with the finest and truest sentiment; but only they who were acquainted with M. Scheffer can know from what a living source of poetry these pathetic and charming creations emanated. M. Scheffer was not only a great artist - he had a mind open to all that is noble, generous, and good. His great career - always maintained in a line of the most rigid independence - offers to youthful talent the pattern of a life gloriously passed." M. Scheffer was at an early age instructor of the children of Louis Philippe, and, among others, trained as an artist the Princess Marie. His affectionate regard for this family was very great'. From "Illustrated London News", 1858
