THE DEATH OF ATALA. PAINTING BY E, A. HUPPERT. SYNOPSIS. According to the beautiful romance of ttAtaIaP written bv Chateaubriand, Cliactas, a youth of the tribe of the Natchez, was adopted and educated by one Lopez, a wealthy Spaniard, residing at St. Augustine. Florida. While in the midst of the forest he was captured by the Muscogulges and condemned to death by burning, Chactas was saved irom his intended fate by Atala, the supposed daughter of the chief of the tribe. She succeeded in releasing him, after confiding to him that she was the child of the same Lopez who had been the benefactor of Chactas. Because the union of her mother and Lopez had not been sanctioned by the Church. her mother exacted a vow from Atala that she would never marry. After much wandering, Ataia and Chactas were discovered by a hermit Catholic priest, at the moment when Atala had taken poison to prevent the breaking of the vow made to her mother. The priest cone veyed them to his grotto. where Atala died in the presence of the priest and her lover. THE ARTIST. UThe Death of Atala is the work of Mr. E. A. Huppert, Director of the Fine Arts Department of this College. The first sketches for ttAtala were made in Paris, in 1886, while Mr. Huppert was a student in the cele- brated Julian Academie, under Jules Lefebvre and Gustave Boulanger. Mr. Huppert commenced his art studies under the renowned Carl Gutherz and Paul Hamey. In his first, third and fourth years he received medals and honors from the authorities of XVashington University.
