"The landscape reproduced is some of Mr. Tanner's summer's work at Czernay la Ville, an hour's ride from Paris, and proves that if he had chosen to remain simply a landscape painter, as he began, he would have achieved more than ordinary success. This spot, famous as the home of Voltaire in his later years, and from which he addressed so many of his charming letters to women, seems to have inspired Mr. Tanner to do some extremely good work, both in landscapes and biblical compositions."
