The guest made a short and feeling address, whereupon all went in to supper. Here two of the artists had arrayed themselves, one as a negro, the other as an Indian; and these brought in the first dishes and handed them to Leutze. Andreas Achenbach sat at Leutze's right, and his old friend Tryst at his left.
The two most notorious in our history are Leutze's painting of Washington crossing the Delaware, and Benjamin West's painting of William Penn treating with the Indians.
Leutze's "Columbus Before the Council at Salamanca" is justly deemed one of the gems of the Old World, and has given him an imperishable name. Among the really great works of our own country is Healy's painting, "Webster's Reply to Hayne," now in Faneuil Hall. So with sculpture.
In honest truth, what with the hope-inspiring influence of the design, and what with Leutze's undisturbed evolvement of it, I was exceedingly encouraged, and allowed these cheerful auguries to weigh against a sinister omen that was pointed out to me in another part of the Capitol.
I live again in the thrill of that evening which was the greater of course for my feeling it, in my parents' company, when I should otherwise have been in bed. Leutze's drama left behind any paler proscenium.
