There are two ateliers 5 but Digitized by Google MBISSONIER. 3 the larger one, for some reason best known to the painter, serves as a kind of antechamber to the smaller. The latter is a retreat to which Meissonier, who is one of the shyest of men, escapes from the world. It is difficult to give an idea of the amplitude of the great one without going into measure- ments ; but certainly it would hold the deliberative assembly of a smfdl State. Here again a rich panelling runs round the walls, and... the place looks too fine for daily work. From the smaller studio we may pass out into the open air by a gallery which forms the roof of the arcade, and make the round of the premises to the coach-houses and stables, all in perfect keeping of style. Even the back stairs are, in their way, exquisite specimens of early Italian work." The hall is hung with curtains and tapestry, the windows are shaded by finely-interlaced ornaments of ironwork; but M. Jules Claretie, in his visit to Meissonier in 1871, which he describes, was most astonished at the works of art with which the studio, large as it is, was " encumbered :" sketches, small panels, and wax models, the instruments of his daily work, and among the pictures hanging upon the walls, a water-colour portrait of the paiater himself, seated, wearing a pair of high shooting-boots, with a dog at his side ; a landscape of Italy, glowing with sunlight, a grove of enormous olive trees dappling the pathway with shadow ; a portrait of Meissonier's medical attendant, hung by the side of a picture by Metsu ; and, " in the centre of the wall, opening it out like a window, a canvas of enormous dimensions, representing the demolished palace of the Tui- leries, the heap of ruins that were left from the wreckage of May 1871, and, dominating the mounds of grey or gilded fragments, the bronze chariot on the Arc du Carrousel appearing through a break in the cloud of smoke, sharply outlined against the blue sky behind it."
