A Great French Art School.
Julien's art schools are, as they deserve to be, increasingly popular. In the four schools there are about six hundred students, many of them really fine professional artists, who feel the need and refreshment of study in such a course, and under the four great painters of the world. Of the four Laurens and Lefebvre are the most sought for, as they are the strong men of the beaux arts. The work done under them is truthful and earnest. The models pose at 8 o'clock in the morning, and study lasts from then, with an hour—from 12 to 1 o'clock—as intermission, till 5 o'clock in the afternoon. There are no holidays the year round, except Sunday and the 4th of July.
In the men's schools the course is very much the same as at the Beaux Arts. The curriculum of the women's school is not quite so severe, but much the same, and the present year is coming much nearer it than hitherto. The American women are reckoned among the stronger workers. It is a temptation for those who love art, for its own sake, to linger here studying and working in this atmosphere, full of the beautiful gaining that strength the lack of which is so often felt in America.—Paris Cor. Baltimore American.
