A little index of Albert Schenck works. But this page is very much in course of preparation.
Visitors who simply wish to learn what I know about the work entitled 'Found' or 'Shepherd's Call' can go directly to page 08. The work is, in fact, listed at the foot of this page but not as a Schenck work. Because I do not think that it is.Now providing an index of this artist's works is not easy because of the language issue. So I will try to list each name that a visitor might know mainly in the English or French language. While the main Index is mainly in English, if my wording is correct a non English-speaking visitor should be able to find whatever they are seeking, if, that is, anything about it is on site. If YOU could add any data to this list or help in any way, do drop me a line. If we can establish a few more years for the works we could rearrange the list in a time sequence. I have put them in alphabetical sequence as best I can today.
The titles are a problem however. Because a number of them seem likely not to be the true titles of the work but rather descriptive words of the subject matter of the painting. And so many of the artist's works are so very similar in subject. But we must do what we can.INDEX

Shepherd's Call08 Unknown 102 Other works attributed to Schenck 16 Unknown It would seem that a work entitled "Sheep in a Snowstorm" was sold at an auction sale in New York, held on March 26/27, 1902. At the Fifth Avenue Art Gallery of James P. Silo. Per a New York Times archive item. The work was part of a collection owned by 'Prinz Brothers'. It sold at the time for $1,350 or maybe for $1,300. But with the title alone, it is impossible for the webmaster to identify today which exact work it, in fact, was. There are so many with a similar title/description.
The webmaster only knows of this work from a New York Times Archive item. It would seem that a sale was conducted in New York, in very early March 1881, of the art collection of S. A. Coale, Jr., of St. Louis. On March 2nd, 1881, on the second day of the sale, a work by A. F. A. Schenck was sold, described with these words:- 'Schenck's magnificent "Sheep on the Pyrenees" representing sheep seeking shelter from a snow storm, received a hearty welcome when put up, and was sold for $1,850.00. A considerable sum of money in 1881, - the 4th highest price attained in the sale. But we have no image of it!

THE WORDS OF EMILE ZOLA A WWW page, available here, sets out in French the words of Emile Zola, written re the Paris Salon of 1866. Chapter XXI, about 2/3 down the page. What follows is, at left, the text of Emile Zola's words in French, and beside that text, the webmaster's probably poor effort at a translation into English. Done using WWW translation sites. In both cases with the artwork titles placed in bold text by the webmaster. Corrections in the translation would be welcomed.
For reasons I cannot explain, the French text is not now displaying correctly (the accents) on my computer screen. Hopefully it does display correctly on yours.
Il y a quelque temps, nous allions visiter avec quelques amis le château d'Écouen, curieux de voir une des oeuvres les plus renommées de cette architecture renaissance que nous avions admirée sur parole dés notre première jeunesse. Avant l'heure où devait s'ouvrir le château, devenu maison d'éducation pour les jeunes filles de la Légion d'honneur, nous fûmes introduit dans l'atelier d'un artiste qui nous était inconnu autrement que de réputation: M. Schenck. On voyait là des études d'animaux, saisissantes par la naiveté de l'observation et l'énergie du caractère, plus deux tableaux dont l'un représentait une troupe de chevreuils, Sur les montagnes, - c'est le titre, - et l'autre un troupeau de moutons à haute laine, Dans les vallons. L'absence du peintre nous eût permis de critiquer a notre aise; mais nous n'avions que du bien à penser et à dire de ses toiles. Cependant, au sortir de l'atelier, je me disais à moi (50) même: Il est possible que ce qui nous paraît être si vrai n e soit qu'une heureuse vraisemblance. Pour apprécier, dans une peinture d'animaux, la justesse des proportions, les allures, les physionomies, les toisons, les pelages, les menus accidents de lainé emmêlée ou de laine crottée, il serait bon d'avoir la nature sous les yeux. Au moment où cette réflexion nous venait, on poussa devant nous la clôture d'une étable où M. Schenck nourrit quelques-uns de ses modèles. C'était une rude épreuve qu'un tel rapprochement pour l'oeuvre du peintre: il en triompha. Le spectacle de l'étable était la contre-épreuve du tableau.
Some time ago, we were going to visit with some friends the castle of Écouen, curious to see what we have understood since childhood to be one of the most renowned examples of renaissance architecture. Before the chateau opened, we had the opportunity to visit the studio of an artist known to us only by reputation: Mr. Schenck. We saw there two animal studies, and were amazed by the charming simplicity and energy of composition of two oil paintings one of which represented a herd of roe deer, 'On the mountains', - is its title, - and the other a herd of sheep with long wool, entitled 'In the small valleys'. The absence of the painter had enabled us to critique the works at our leisure; but we had only good things to say about them. On leaving the studio I thought to myself that to paint animals in that way, with such accuracy of proportion, and with the detail of the fleeces so perfectly rendered one would need to paint from real nature. When this thought came to us, an animal pushed aside the fence of a cattle shed where Mr. Schenck maintains some of his models. The works were hard tests of the skill of the painter, but he succeeded brilliantly. The setting of the cattle shed was the counterpoint of the painting.
