Among the largest pictures of the year was 

 Munkacsy's " Arpad," an immense work intend- 

 ed for the Palace of the Parliament at Buda- 

 Pesth. The scene is at the foot of the Carpa- 

 thians, where the great plain begins. Arpad, in 

 Asiatic costume and surrounded by his chiefs 

 and warriors, receives the representatives of the 

 indigenous tribes, who bring him, in token of 

 siil mi ission, water from the Danube, some hay, 

 and a little of the earth henceforth to take th'e 

 name of Hungary. 



Another immense canvas is Ferdinand Roy- 

 bfct's " Charles le Tdindraire a Nesles." Charles 

 the Bold, angered at his defeat before Amiens, 

 took Nesles, June 9, 1472, and gave the town 

 and its inhabitants a prey to his soldiers. The 

 scene is the church of Notre Dame, where the 

 unfortunates who have taken refuge are given 

 over to massacre.
