WÖRNDLE VON ADELSFRIED, EDMUND,
born in Vienna in 1827. Landscape
and figure painter, brother of preceding,
pupil of Vienna Academy under
Steinfeld and Thomas Ender, and much influenced
by Führich; went in 1855 to Palestine,
then studied for a year and a half in
Italy, and settled at Innsbruck in 1859.
Many of his works are in private collections
there, and several are in possession of the Imperial
family. Keen observation of nature
and strong contrast of colouring are the
main features of his pictures, and he is
equally happy in the representation of the
sunny south and the grandeur of his native
glaciers. Works: Eight Tyrolese Views
in tempera, Savings Bank, Innsbruck; Orvieto,
Ideal Eastern Landscape with Samson
and the Lion, Ferdinandeum, ib.; Castle
Tyrol, Crown Prince Rudolph of Austria;
Apollo among the Shepherds; Orpheus in

WOUNDED, SALUTING THE (Salut
aux blessés), Édouard Detaille, Samuel
Hawk Collection, New York; canvas. A
convoy of German prisoners, on foot, passing
a French general and his escort, mounted,
on the highway; the latter salute the
captives with military politeness, the officers
by raising their caps, the cuirassiers
by the ordinary gesture. Painted in 1875
by commission from Mr. Samuel Hawk from
a sketch submitted by the artist. This
sketch, also in Hawk Collection, represents
French prisoners escorted by helmeted Germans,
but the artist finally changed the respective
uniforms out of regard to the feelings
of his friends, who objected to sending
to America a painting of French prisoners.
At Detaille's request, the picture was returned
to France for exhibition in the Salon
of 1877; but the objection was again
raised that it would be ridiculous to exhibit
in public a scene representing German prisoners,
so the artist redressed the captives
