This was very likely a vision of his own possible fate, for Meissonier must have been at that time a lonely and unhappy man. There are many stories of his first exhibited work, which Caffin declares was the "Visit to the Burgomaster," but Mrs. Bolton, who is almost always correct in her statements, tells us that it was called "The Visitor," and that it sold for twenty dollars.
'It isn't much linen you dirty, she muttered. 'One would think you could never sit down, that you are always just about to start off. Ah! if you had known Monsieur Caffin, the poor dead priest whose place you have taken! What a man he was for comfort! Why, he couldn't have digested his food, if he had eaten standing. A Norman he was, from Canteleu, like myself.
He next served, during 1855, on board the Hastings, commanded by Captain Caffin, a Christian officer, whose advice to his young midshipmen when joining is worthy of being noted: "If you are a Christian, nail your colours to the mast and fight under them; you will be sure, in the end, to overcome your opponents!"
Is it possible to dissociate the manner of a picture from its embodiment of some fact or idea? For it to have style in the full sense of the word, surely it must embody an expression of life as serious and thorough as the method of record." Charles H. Caffin. In the International Studio of March, 1903, we read: "The portrait of Mrs.
"I could," says Captain Caffin, "in this manner take you through thirty or more cottages that we visited, but they, without exception, were all alike the dead and the dying in each; and I could tell you more of the truth of the heartrending scene, were I to mention the lamentations and bitter cries of each of those poor creatures, on the threshold of death.
XII, there is a similar picture of conditions in the North. McMaster's last volume describes the life of the people for this period. On American sculpture Lorado Taft's American Sculpture , and Charles H. Caffin's American Masters of Sculpture , are useful and discriminating. Caffin has also written The Story of American Painting , which is perhaps the best short account of the subject.
La Teuse, delighted at having been allowed to tell her story, interpreted the priest's silence as an encouragement to continue her gossiping. So she drew a little nearer to him and said: 'He was very friendly with me, was good Monsieur Caffin, and often spoke to me of his sin. It won't keep him out of heaven, I'm sure.
It is the portrait of the mother that carries the picture, and its superiority to many of Miss Beaux's portraits consists in the sympathy with her subject which the painter has displayed." Charles H. Caffin.
And she turned aside to ferret in an ant-hole at a corner of one of the stone flags under the gallery. 'Monsieur Caffin didn't talk so long, now remarked La Rousse. 'When he married Miette, he just gave her two taps on the cheek and told her to be good.
Then, having filled the glasses to the brim, he insisted on clinking them. His anger had given place to jeering cheerfulness. 'It won't poison you, Monsieur le Cure, he said. 'A glass of good wine isn't a sin. Upon my word, however, this is the first time I ever clinked a glass with a cassock, but no offence to you. That poor Abbe Caffin, your predecessor, refused to argue with me.
