He studied under the distinguished painters, Eugene Verboeckhoven and E. R. Maes. Mr. Van Sluys is a painter of rustic life. His early training was thor- ough, and his handling of color is decisive and powerful, while extremely careful and accurate in detail. He is a fine draftsman, but never descends to over elabo- ration. His command of textures in the delineation of ani- mals is supreme, as is clearly evidenced in his fine study, “The Sheepfold.” It has been his good fortune to enjoy a high degree of deserved popularity. His pictures are in great demand both.in Europe and America. “The Sheepfold” is one of his best and latest canvases. A great mind once said that all things are beautiful if we but bring to them the eye to see. The genius, gifted with sight more keen, depicts beauties we, less sensitive to na- ture’s pictures, pass by unobserved. Such a gift has Van Sluys, the painter of the original of the next Cali reproduction. From so poor a place as a sheepfold he finds a subject superb in coloring and form. The texture of the sheep’s coats is handled with surprising fidelity, comparing not unfavorably with Rosa Bonheur’s unsurpassed work. The coloring throughout is natural and pleasing. The reproduction is by color photography and would with difficulty be distinguished from the original oil painting. The special art paper adds to this effect. “THE SHEEPFOLD” FRANCIECO CALL, TUESDAY, MARCH ordinances direct the Board of Works to | ~WITH— Next - Sunday’s - Call , !
