 558 Painting Karl Rahl (1812—1865), of Vienna, studied in the Academy of his native city, and there opened a studio, which was most numerously attended, and sent forth many excellent artists. Feodor Dietz (1813—1870) studied in Carlsruhe, and painted in Munich and at Paris ; his works, which chiefly depict scenes on the battle-field, are unfortunately some- times almost theatrical in effect. On the whole the present position of painting in Germany is eminently satisfactory, and there is every reason to hope for continued success in the future. There are but few works by the great German masters in the National Gallery, and the Revival under Overbeck and his followers is totally unrepresented in our National Collection. Of those living artists who have made and are still making German art famous, not only in their own country, but also in England, we do not propose to speak; but before closing this brief notice of nineteenth century art, we must mention two painters whose works are somewhat in sympathy with it. Adolph Tidemand (1814 — 1876), a native of Mandal in Norway, studied first at Copenhagen, and then at Diissel- dorf under Hildebrandt and Schadow. His pictures are chiefly landscapes and genre subjects. They became familiar to the English public at the Exhibition held in London in 1862, to which he sent no less than ten. The Assembly of the Haugians in the Dusseldorf Academy, and the Catechising are among the principal. Tidemand was a member of most foreign academies. Anna Maria Elisabeth Jerichau-Baumann (1819—1881)
