painting, H. 15 ft. × about 50 ft. Scene--the portico of an Ionic
temple; in centre sits Apelles enthroned, with Ictinus on his right
and Phidias on his left. Near them are five allegorical figures:
in front, Fame, nude, kneeling, casting out wreaths from a heap at
her side; back of her, at left, seated, are Greek Art and Gothic
Art, the latter (with the model of a cathedral) a portrait of
Delaroche’s wife, daughter of Horace Vernet; at right, Roman Art and
Renaissance Art. On each side of this ideal group extend the wings
of the picture, in which are grouped the great artists of the world,
standing or sitting in their habits as they moved of old. The work
contains 75 colossal figures. The original, called the Hémicycle
because it occupies the semicircular frieze of the amphitheatre of
the Beaux-Arts, was painted in 1837–41. Delaroche received for it
80,000 francs, the price set for a canvas of fifteen figures, the
work originally contemplated. It was injured by fire in 1855, but
the damage was repaired by the artist himself, aided by Mercier and
Fleury. The engraving by Henriquel Dupont cost eight years’ labour.
Delaroche made for Dupont’s use a copy of the work, in small (1853),
now owned by W. T. Walters, Baltimore. There is a photogravure of
it in Art Treasures of America, together with a key to the figures.
The original sketch for the large work is in the Nantes Museum.--Art
