Summary:
This essay is mostly a memorial with a little art criticism and biographical data. Rossetti describes the exhibition honoring American landscape artist Louis Remy Mignot who died suddenly at 39. He mentions the qualities that make Mignot's work remarkable, although he qualifies his praise with the addendum that certainly, further experience would have improved Mignot's paintings.
Rossetti analyzes a few works, starting with the most striking, then comments on a few others. He briefly recounts the artist's history and schooling, then states that the exhibition carefully assembled by the artist's widow will confirm and extend the artist's reputation.
