Poutnn The simultaneous appearance of these two v l umes mnkf'S a happy event m th<- literature of plasti" art, an event wnlch ..nly needed to be marke-' by a third volume "n the Italian Renais? sance t-, br- rendered quite complete. Italy pi ? vides the link which hinds ancien! t > modern sculpture, nd n much through any unbroken processes of evolution a? he a use th* three fTI SI epochs in the history of sculpture have h?, n re afssetlvely Grecian in the pagan era. Italian oa the brcikina: up of the Middle Ago?, and Fren h In nv.ro recent times For the treatment of the earliest of the*5 three divisions of art no more accomplished auth ?rlty than Herr Furtwangler could be desire l. His nami has 1 >nsr he>n famil? iar to students, and respe? ted slways. M Gonse Is one of the most emineiv of French critics, and in his noble volume on "I.'Art ?; ?thlque" he pre? pared his readers for Just such s erelghty and comprehensivo booh as this? new publication on French sculpture. If there ;s a difference Ias? tsratB the two writers, if Herr Furtwangler is very serious where M. Qonse is vivacious, it is a matter of temperament and n it of critical Id?ala Both writers awaken deep interest |n their themes and inspire confidence In their Judgment. Herr Furtwangler's volume glances sketchlly at the history of Qreek sculpture. As his title pro- : claims, it 1st In "s series ,,f essays" that he has attempted to concentrate his survey, not In a con? tlnuous narrative, and the reader must ther^f ire dispenso with any of this.- aid? to memory which he might expert in an elementary wnrk. The truth Is that there is no time wasted by Heir Furtwangler on elementary details; his book is of a character to take such matters for granted, an i in appealing to scholars as he does he is chiefly desirous ?if settling certain problem? of archaeol? ogy. The points of transition, for example, in Greek art are exceedingly difficult of elucidation to-day, since our separation of "tic school from the other must be made almost entirely <m intei nal evidence, and it is such evidence whleh mir author weighs with devoted enthusiasm. Philo? sophically and with the minute deliberation char? acteristic of a German, he ..pens his volume With a subtle analysis of Phidias and those other Athenian sculpt irs upon whose art there linger unmistakable traces of his Influence. Sketches of Cresilas and Myron grow naturally fr.'tn this chapter and lead to an examination of Poly 1- ltus which paves the way for Bconaa, Praxiteles, Eu? phrar.or, Lysippus and other names of ihe later years of Greek sculpt uto. Consideration of the j style and Influence of Beopas ha? inspired s sepa? rate chapter on the Venus of Mllo, which gives) I further light on the former and on Praxiteles. Throughout it is Herr Furtwangler's purpose to ' fix the authorship of the different masterpieces with which he deals, and by placing them to clarify the history of art. It is a difficult task and one from which no less amorphous result than that before us? coul 1 have be.^n expected, j even at the hands of a less Involved author. For Herr Furtwungler Is Involved, sfter the manner of his rac . and he requires a patient , reader. To such a one he yields profound ( satisfaction, as witness the first and most im? portant of his essay?, S tissue ,.f well.pondered j inductions and surmises as to the Lemnlan i Athena, a statue which Herr Furtwangler place? , ah'ive the Olympian Zeus and the Athena Par- ', thenos as representative if the art of Phidias. We have no original wr.rks by that master, and ! even the authentic reproductions of the Zeus and the Parthenos are, on the whole. inadequate : For genuine, close contact with Phidias we hav? I to go, in Herr Furtwangler's opinion, to two Statuas of Athena which are preserved in the ' Dresden museum. Both marble?, he avers, are faithful copies of the unhelmeted L?mnian i Athena in bronze which Pausanlas records ;is I the most distinguished of all the w<>rks of Phidias, and which is also believed to he the , only important Athena i f antiquity which was famous for its hare head a notable point in the argument which this volume offer?. Herr Furt? wangler goes about hi? demonstran >n with ad? mirable thoroughness. Much signlfli snee i.???????? sarily attaches to the head, which in each of the Dresden statues has been confusing to the archaeologist. One of ihe two heads has been stigmatized as really unrelated to the torso on which it had be-n set by late arbitrary hands, , und the other had been so ba lly rest? t<-.i as to incur SUSntd 'tis of ? similar nature The latter head has been the subject of many heated srgu ments, and was separated from the statue by Treu in the course of his werk ai Dresden in ' correcting th" Indiscretions ol old restorers. At length it was endeavored t.- Identify it with an? other head of extraordinary beauty at Bologna; but in proiM-irtH'ii as this hypothesis gained ground the Dresden torso suffered, for th?t c ?Uld only be an Athena, whereas th? Italian relic was assumed by Cotise to belong to a young man, and by Klasch v> a i Amazon. Thus th<- Lemnlan Athena must have lapsed Into a headless and therefore extremely ambiguous state, but Herr Furtwangler easily sets the matter straight. Restoring the Dresden head to agree with the Bologna piece, which is. it mvst be granted, an actual replica of the former when that was in its best state, lien- Furtwangler r. places the alien head on the second Dresden statue by s cast from th>- Bologna original, and protests that in both cases the eff.ct gained is inevitable, right. Phldian beyond dispute The perfection of trie serves to enforce th.- perfection of the other, and vice versa. If you urge that th- Bologna head is fi:!ott"d and that Athena without a helmet does not fall r.aturally Into line w.th our ascertained data on the subject of Greek sculpt? ure, Herr Furtwangler reminds you of th.- fac? noted above, that the i,. mntan Athens of Phidias Is the one bare-headed Athena < -lebrated in '? tradition, and then he clinches but argument b\ referring to those Attic vase paintings in which the goddess is depleted with h>-r helmet in her hand. Here he treads- on egg sheila His con? clusions are plausible and s i ar< his premises, for that matter, but neither are overwhelmingly con? vincing. In the long run they are accepted, however, for all along the tin Herr Furtwangler ' strengthens his DOSltton, finding so much In the torso of the Lemnla to warrant s Phldian ; ascription that the final testimony of the head as 1 he interprets it is hard t.. reject. H>' isak. s a ( strong point In indicating th.- character of the | modelling about the hair of the Bologns head. It follows obviously In technique the effect of a cast bronze original rather than that of a chiselled marble. Proceeding step by step through these Intricacies .f style and technique Herr Furtwangler give? to the Lemnlan Athena a Phldian authenticity which It will take hardy critics to attack. Bscwhere he p. rforms equally good service to the cause of srchaeology. The chapter on the Venir, m Mllo traies with re? freshing Ingenuity those elements of style which Join the great statue t.. the era of Sepas and Praxiteles. It is not possible to follow Herr Furtwangler through all th? byways Into which Ms persistent scientific enthusiasm has led him. Enough t.? add that his volume Is ;l ckasely writ? ten product!?).-., rich in scholarship and original thought, and deeply suggestive to the stuiUnt. It is beautifully illustrated and printed, and the editing of Mme. Seller.* brlmrs the work well within the scope of F.nglish readers. We have said above that If, Ooass's volume treats one of the three gr> at epochs In the history of plastic art. It is ?i statement which may seem to need explanation. Look dowa all the long rnnge of French sculpture and It reveals little of the grandeur, little of the massive splendor, which one rinds In snctenl Greece But a not dissimilar Judgment must be pronounced upon the Italian Renaissance, in spite of its magnificent plastic accomplishments. A buok I was closed when the Oraeco-Roman period i terminated the Attic tradition. Then after a | long interval came th? Italian revival, and after that the French, both more complex, more per? sonal, more romantic than anything nf which Phidias .r PraxltelM had ever dreamed. Yet the French and th- Italians h-it h preserve i son,". tiling of the classic temper; you feel this eery sir '".gly in Whatever is most typical Of either school. Iionatello is drenched in the austere purity of antique art. ;i strain of classicism d? veloplng steadily beside his purely modern naturalism. It is the same with the French sculptors, after the ?jothtc period is one left b.-hlnd; and even on the threshold of the Renais? sance Michel Col .n,h" rises at a bound above the archaic and even grotesque lines of his great predecessors, the architectural s? ulptors whose ecclesiastical fa?ades contain the germ from which the entire s ho | was to spring. The school dates from these fa?ades, however, merely in putting the French on record as a people of plastic genlua In points of style and of feeling Colombe has not much in common with the carv? ers of cathedral fronts, and despite th* ornate character of the great t imbi of the Cardinals of Amboise, at Rouen, they rpeak more of Renais? sance Inspiration than of the Gothic tradltl n In fact, sculpture proper in France, sculpture separated from architecture, bfgins with Jean Goujon, in the sixteenth century-, a man whose taste for funerary and decorative art, In which he excelled, did not prevent his doing excellent things of 8 more detached nature. If, Gonse gives a su -"inet and valuable retrospect from Goujon back to the verv origin of the natli nal art. but readers of his paces will take most pleasure, we fancy, in the series of craftsmen passed in review on th>- termination of this retrospect. Ws say craftsmen because an im? pression of brilllnnt execution, of a polished style. Is what is chiefly carried away from French sculpture. From Goujon It is to Germain Pilon that M. ?ionse passes, from him to Llgler Richier. und with thee.-, men the sculpture of France takes on a certain poise and elegance which it has not yel h-st. M. tense writes sympathetically and without any false notions of the positions of these early men. He gl\ S Goujon and Pilon no more than their full value, ns it seems to us. They were not trsnscendently great men, and to-dsy in the Louvre and i ls. where they do n.>t awnken excessive enthusiasm; but they comted heavily In their iime. and the example of their artistic rectitude B peculiar quality-has not been thrown a way upon their j posterity niv-l, Girardon, Coysevox, Pugel and several others of less repute all maintained worthily the standard of pre Islon, of a i lean, authoritative manner, whicl .ame town to them from Goujon; and though their w? rk, as well as that of Pajou, of Cafflerl and of Clodion has ? certain flavor of Brtlflcisllty hanging about it, it Is als. surpassingly d.di -.ue, exceedingly Intelli? gent and beyond all words distinguished. Houd in would never have been what he was without the past that they mad.- f..r him. and Hou Ion i? a shining ligit in the eighteenth century.
