MARY STUART AND RIZZIO. LFr The Chiago Tribune, Citicado, Aug, 24.—The historical palnting by Duvid Nenl, on the subject of the “ First Mect- 2g of Mury Stuart and Rlzzio,” which has been » exhibitfon in this clby for the past few weeks, vifers some sugeestions and a¥ords a few les- yons which should not be lost.

Mr, Neal’'s life has already been atluded to, sud his carly struggies, his gradual udvancement and (inal success have been here- tofore quite fully nurrated. e is u firm be- tlever in his own statement, nnd which e bus proven In his political career when he says, 41 know no better nvestment thun in the purchuse ©f the works of rising artists,” The first itmpression a porson has on examin. Ing this latest production is tho reallty of the subjeet. ‘Thore [3 no tubleanx effort, no posing Joreffect. It scems us (£ by some necromancy of genfus he had drawn out from Lehind the curtalns of the past this remurkable oceurrence, and, Ly some puwer of instantaneous produe- Uon, Lsd placed it upon his canyas. The Queen 1 tooking ot Rizzio, and only ut himj the spun. k! at her fect sees but one Intruder,— e slecping, swarthy ltallan; the ladles W waiting who follow the Queen are only Interested Iy the remark ¥ the courtier behlud them. And Rizzlo fs Rsleep; you resllze at onve that he (s asleep,~ ot uwsre of the Jook the wuman whoss life runs alomg with his tll Lls Is closed s glving nun. The {dea which pusseeses the beholder of 80 puny paintings that cach Ggure fs placed in fL3 pusitiun without thought or expresslon does not here deeur, Tho artlst had hero cluthied bis subjects with real llfe ax the gublime sutor tuses hitascl( in his play, Thy contrast of this puinting with the work of Pleou called S Cleopatra ™ will uf jtself most fully itustrate tols jdew.

Thu artist hus gilnnnly sccomplishied what Le has undertaticn, delus attempted to BEPICT A PROFUECY ou the fa. of the Beott:sh tflw\:n, vt danger, or unbappmess, or tragedy which ls to resuit from s weelng, The eveuts whleh were to follow $othe tiwe when Darley rushies into ber ruom, and n bier reseuce Lhly Itallan youtls 18 sluin, are not forvshadowed cither fu Lier countenance or that of ghe slevper befure bier, SBurprived at due ainzular,, yeb Juteresting, spectator,—the dress so diffcrent from that of the courtior fol- lowing her, the swarthy complexion tnade still darker by the dust of travel, and, possibly, also eurprised that, even by accldent, a stranger ahoutd sleep (n the presence of amonareh,~this Is, apparently, all that canacs the gesture of the uplitted handt or the expresslon her face has taken, Al else fa lett to the student -of that #ad history. To une who has mentaily visited the rooms when afl the precedior amd subse. quent scenes are portrayed,—Irom the time of Ter roturn to Scotland an almast child-widow of the son of Catherine de Medicl to the eulinina- tion of- the Babington wns‘)ln\ra‘.—lhln pleture of Neal's {8 hut the opening door. Nothing more {s attempted. 1ts power I3 In its associa- tion, and {t {s hinpoesible not to at onco begin to question whers Darnley {8, andwhere {s Murray, and Bothwell, and Johit Knoz. A thousand ln- uirfes come unbidden as wa ace this woman in the simple act of looking uponn steeping youth. - TUE TRAGIC DEATI of this eame slumberer, and later the awful penalty therefor of the jealous husband; the ,Hgm Trom Edinbure; tha rape of Bothwell: thie subseqtient marriage; the fusurrection; the escape to England; the mild survell- Innce At first, the cecoscless watch- fulnees afterwards; the contluped effort for liberty; the continied disappolntment and the Jost act, when the once-beautiful head Is 1akl ugon the block, aud Protestant Eogland orce more I8 ut rest,—oll these facts come crowding upon the mind as the Queen stands there before you, You fecl at onice that she knows nothing of the destiny that awaits her, and involuntarily you pity the unconsclous vie- tim of so great” future misery. How true to fact and to Nature the artist hns been in this respect no vtte_can doubt who bae studied the character of Mary Stuart. That she was In- tensely human no one will deny; that she was o womnati with o woman's strongest passion which would brook no deuial, sufler no obstacle to fntervene, Is true beyond aucstion, The Cathollc hns for 800 years nssocinted her with the holicst memaries of hifs Churel, With opposition at first, and then oppression, and finally with a glorjous martyrdom, the Protests ant hus found in her the greatest enemy to the growth of the Reforination, a contined plot- ter agalnst the me of Europe, coveting the throne of England and planning the death of Elizabetli; lie has seen in her a woinnu whoso heart was corrupted by sensuality and whose latil was steeped o erfme, and he will bellove that her death was a Just penalty for an attempt {0 destroy the most prosperous relgn England had ever known, to put that nation under the torture of the Spanish Inquisition, aud to ex- tinquish forever tho light that had vome with Martin Luther. Around such a subject, there- fore, thore will always be great intercat, for there will always bo OREAT ANTAGONISAL, So long aa there are Catholles and Protestnnts there will be thesame wide separation on the life and character of Mary, Queen of Scots, With all this, however, the” artlst has nothing to do. He has placed but one fuct in her history upon canvay. Yet this fact brings up with it associn- tluns which carry the lifcof this beautiful wo- mun like n panoruma hefore ven, With regard to the handifne of the subject there will be necessarily different opimtons, ~ It has been cluhued thae it 13 too dramatic In its genernl effect. No setor has ever yeu fully portrayed the scencs that constantly are ocetirriug an thut yreat stuge where * all the world are players.' Only as e more nearly ap- prouches reality Is he suceessful. If this study of Neal's is startling, it is not more 8o than the actual oceurrence could have been to both the parties inrerested, All the sccessories that mnore stronely bring out that fact are necessary to the truth of the representation. These lhave been seized upon, and exhibited with matchless tuste. ‘There must be allowed tn the prodie ton of such a work much Heense to the nrtlat, Why, Instead of veproducing uny one of the porimits of Mary (notably the one In the pus- acsslon of the Euvl of Mortun), lie s taken as Tis subject the hend of Mrs, Jotn T. Raymond, must be left with the painter himself,” That such wus the case, however, wn be proven by his own letter to the writer, notwithstunding the statement in a recent number of tho Sunday Times, Thut the artlst felt some liberty in “pursuing this course I8 shown n the great difference in the ortraits of the Quecn. Slwnmm; of ler, one historian suys: **Graceful alike in ]mmm and in utellect, she possessed that pecaiiar beauty n which the form s Jost (n the expression, und which every painter, therefore, has represented differently.”” The pleture shows to us a com- paratively young wouan, but one certalnly older than Mary ‘was Known to have bueu at this time, Rizzio having been admitted to her court during the year she waa 33 years of age, Then will also cotne up the thought, i yicw of thoe gen- erally aceepted idens, that she s repre- sentéd to he fall when ¢he shonld have been of medium helght, and that her huir was much darker than that tho artist has given to her. The mandolin which rests against Rizzlo seems to be uew and hardly in I:cc‘pmg with his dusty, travel-stained urments and worn leather bugl ™ But Wl these uconsistencies which scem such to us, but might appear perfectly in keeping to others, areut onee lost sight ol THE MARVELOUS PINISI and detall which is shown in eversthing repre- sented, It s dificult which to ‘most adwlre, the shimmer on the volvet overdress of the Queen, the flosting transparent embroldered vell of the lady-inewaiting, the dark wood chest upon Wi Rizzio s slecping, its carving 8o accurutely shown and the jagged eriek in the guned, or, Jastly,” the wonderful and afl but fodisceruible Hght and shadow in the deep tlack of the Itallan's dress, Nothing is slighted, aud you feel that in nvcr[yflnlm.{ the artlst lms cou- sclentiously done the best ho could.

Over two veurs elapsed biefore he was ready to let It o, 1t iz seldom Chicago Is permitted to examine a work of this kind where tha subject I8 so grand- Iy portrayod, and where also the aceessories of ¢very pabticular are so minutely and necurately drawn, The blending of detull and character 80 that one s lust In the'other has rarely been seen bero, The former s most generally ex- blbited In the fashion-plate toltet paintings of the French School, whers the drapery, furnl- ture, und surroundlugs are tmost claborately brought out, but which disclose no sentiment and linrdly sentlence, and only excite sdmira- tion of the wonderful manipulation which can produve BUCH MARVELOUS RESULTS. ‘The tendency of modern figure-patuting scems to have been fu this direetion. While there s the fmagery of Gustave Dore, and the minute precision of Melssonlcr, it. fs lnpossiblo to fid an artlst who combines In himsel! the exeel 1ence of each, ‘Thesoul-work of David, Horace Vernet, and Delaroche seem to have been lost in the detull dnish of Bongereay, Vibert, Zoma- cols, Escossura, and others, and even in muny cuses of Gerome, Ruulbach did much, aud Piloty has done much to redecn the latter part of ‘the ninetesnih century from the mechanfeal rut fn which s art haa been moving, nod while it §s too curly to cluss David Neal gigung these musters, yel'the resuits of hle work thus fur Judleate most learly lius ultimate position umong the great pulnters of the world. ‘The lesson which the study of this pleture can rive should nut be lost either to the general art-loving public or to our vwn urtists.
