Original Narrative:     “Foltz is endowed with great talent; his genre pictures have always a peculiar character; they are original, and oftentimes have a profound meaning or sentiment. He would not have done so well had he followed the direction of the School of Munich, or any other established course: he has kept himself as far as possible from an approach to the classic or antique epochs, and is a stranger to style, in the ordinary acceptation of the term; still he continues to produce some most excellent works. He is one of those men who ought to be in the Academy, and the Academy should render him this justice. We have already spoken of Foltz in the article on the painters of history; I place his name here because of the direction he follows, and which appears to me to approach genre; still it would not be just to confound him with the mass of artists who belong to that category only. He is a man of great talent, and one who seems to have formed for himself a distinct class, which it would be difficult to characterise.”     His little picture of the “Jäger” is, we presume, one of the subjects suggested by Bürger's poem, and we are informed, was added to the Royal Collection with two others by the same artist, of which we shall have to speak hereafter, by Prince Albert. The huntsman is a bold and vigorouslydrawn figure; he stands in an easy attitude on the summit of an Alpine crag, surveying the vast range of country stretched out before him: the time is evening—a cool and quiet evening—the grey mists cover the heights in the middle distance, and blend into soft and cloud-like masses of lines the far-off perspective of valley and lake. The picture is in the Collection at Osborne. Martin2001 Satisfaction Guaranteed Policy! Any print purchased from me may be returned for any (or no) reason for a full refund including all postage.
