VIERGE, DANIEL (1851-1904)

This article appears in Volume V28, Page 57 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: VAN-VIR
VIERGE, DANIEL (1851-1904) , Spanish painter and draughtsman, was born in Madrid in 1851. He went to Paris in 1867 to seek his fortune, fired by the vivid energy of his national temperament. He became attached to the Monde illustre in 187o, just before the Franco-Prussian War broke out, and, like other artists in the
paper
 , came under the powerful influence of Edmond Morin, the first newspaper draughtsman in France who sought to impart to drawings for journals the character of a work of art. Vierge's earlier drawings, therefore, partake greatly of Morin's style; such are, " The
Shooting
  in the Rue de la Paix," " The Place d'Armes at Versailles," " The
Loan
 ," " The Great School-Fete of Lyons," " Anniversary of the Fight of Aydes " and " Souvenir of Coulmiers." Vierge lost no time in proving the extraordinary vigour and picturesqueness of his art. Apart from the contribution of his own
original
  work, he was required by his
paper
  to redraw upon the
wood
 , for the engraver, the sketches sent in by artist-correspondents, such as Luc 011ivier Merson in Rome and Samuel Urrabieta (Vierge's brother) in Spain. From 1871 to 1878 his individuality became more and more pronounced, and he produced, among his best-known drawings, " Christmas in Spain," " The Republican Meeting in Trafalgar Square," " Attack on a
Train
  in Andalusia," " Feast of St Rosalia in Palermo;" " In the Jardin d'Acclimatation," " The Burning of the Library of the Escurial, 1872," " Grasshoppers in Algiers," " Brigandage in Sicily," " Night Fete in Constantinople,"
VIETA 57
" Episode of the Civil War in Spain," " Marriage of the King of Spain " and " The Bull Fight." About this time he illustrated with remarkable dash and skill
Victor
  Hugo's Annee terrible (Michel Levy, 1874, and Hugues, 1879), " 1813 " (Hugues, 1877) and Les Miserables (1882). His masterpiece of
illustration
  is
Michelet
 's History of France (1876), consisting of 26 volumes containing r000 drawings. In 1879 he was drawing for La Vie moderne, and then proceeded to illustrate Pablo de Segovia. While engaged upon this work he was attacked by paralysis in the right arm, but with characteristic energy and courage he set himself to acquire the necessary skill in drawing with the left, and calmly proceeded with the illustrations to the book. In 1891 he illustrated L'Espagnole, by Bergerat, and in 1895 Le Cabaret des trois vertus. In 1898 he held, at the Pelletan Gallery in Paris, an exhibition of his drawings for Chateaubriand's Le Dernier Ahencerage (" The Last of the
Abencerrages
  "), and in the following year a comprehensive exhibition of his work (including the illustrations to Don Quixote) at the Art Nouveau Gallery, also in Paris. In 1898 Vierge contributed to L'Image, a magazine devoted to the encouragement of engraving upon
wood
 ; and two years later, at the International Exhibition at Paris, he was awarded a grand prix. In 1902 he exhibited at the New Salon a scene from the Franco-Prussian War. He died at Boulogne-sur-Seine in May 1904.
