FRENCH ARTIST’S ACTION.
An ; interesting legal judgment concerning the rights of artists has just been given at Marseilles. M. Etienne Laget, who has .earned fame by his landscapes of the Camargue country at the mouth of the Rhone, and his portraits of the Provence peasantry, sued Mr Blake, an English- painter, living at Les Baux, near Arles, on the ground that the English artist had copied his style. M. Laget’s lawyer argued that Mr Blake’s works were inspired by those of the French painter. The Court took the same view and ordered the Englishman to pay a nominal fine of 100 francs and 300 francs damages. It also ordered that the judgment should be printed in the local papers at Mr Blake’s expo use.
