EBERHARD THE WEEPER (Larmoyeur),
Ary Scheffer, Louvre, Paris; canvas,
H. 5 ft. × 5 ft. 4 in.; signed. Ulrich, son of
Count Eberhard, of Würtemberg, on recovering
from wounds received in the battle of
Reutlingen, which he had lost, sought his
father at Stuttgart. The old knight received
him coldly, and when his son took
his seat opposite him at table, seized a knife
and cut the table-cloth between them. Ulrich,
stung by the insult, made extraordinary
efforts in the next battle, Doffingen, which
he won at the cost of his life. The picture
represents the father alone in his tent,
weeping over his son's dead body, as described
in Schiller's ballad. Salon, 1834;
Collection of Louis Philippe; from Luxembourg.
Replicas in Corcoran Gallery, Washington,
Boston Art Museum, and Rotterdam
Museum. A second picture (Salon, 1851),
called Le Coupeur de Nappe, represents the
father cutting the table-cloth.—Art Treasures
of America, i. 5.
