Ogrtel, -the: artist,for cnlhmqn at @ large -number. of flu paintings of noted artist. Four large cases of me pictures have ar- rived and arp to be exhibifed in the art room as soon as they can be prop- erly placed. Johannes A. was born in Wuremberg, Bavaria, in 1823, and he died in 1909. It was about forty-eight years ago he originated and painted the Rock of Ages, the ‘well kngwn symbolic picture, repre- menting frail human nature clinging to the cross set,in the turbulent sea of life, and which is to be found. in many Christian homes in every quar- m of the earth. It is conceded that Ppresentation is the most direct l-‘ flmple illustration of God's plan of salvation that has ever been given the public, and its meaning and spirit appeal as potently to the loftiest im- agination uul most cultured mind as those most limited, This best known of paintings was executed by Mr. Oertel in his studio at Westerly, where the artist and his family resided at the time. The Rock of Ages is among the pictures to be exhibited This pain in size is two feet in width and three feet six inches in height. 2t is & comparatively small canvas and by mo means was his masterpiece in t{e creator’s estimation, but it hap. pened to strike the popular fancy. The plmn created a sensation and shrewd dealer realized its posai’bllltjes in mull.r reproduction. Fair prom- of rich royalties were made to t and he permitted its use, 'hm it was shown that artistic genius and business acumen were not com- parison qualities. The artist did not properly secure his rights and the re- sult was that thousands of copies of the Rock of Ages went forth and heaped up a fortune for an unscrupin- lous art publisher, while it struck the death knell of the artist’s finan success. The work of Mr. Oertel is of a dis- tinct type, It is religious in nature, symbolic in character and its mission is to teach. The artist's object was to bring before mankind by his inspired brush the inner meanings of the scrip- tures. Mr. Oertel was an ordained min- ister of the thodist Episcopal church, The Coast Amlll-r} of the Rhode isla: National Guard, which includes the Fifth company, ‘Westerly, will spend one week on an- nual tour of duty, while like troops in Connecticut-are at the present time on a tour of duty for ten days at the island forts of the New Landon ar- tillery district.
