Frederick Charles Hausmann, born at Hanau, near Frankfort, in 1825, holdsan honourable place among German historical painters. His Galileo before the Councilof Constance, exhibited, like Pilotys Nero, in the London Exhibition of 1862, wonmuch admiration.

He has painted the portraits of the leaders of two Frenchdynasties, Louis Philippe and Queen Amalie, Napoleon III. and the Empress Eugenie,and he is well known in England as the painter, on more than one occasion, of theQueen, the Prince Consort, and the younger members of the royal family. * See ?P A C Ii h 7 I ?-: I ?: 1 A FORTUNY. 223 But the great leader of the modern naturalistic school in Germany is Pilotv ofMunich, who in his energy and intensity of treatment is accused of coarseness, and,like the French artist Courbet, of a bizarre preference for uncouthness.
