Excerpt from Catalogue of Mr. George I. Seney's Important Collection of Modern Paintings: To Be Sold by Auction, Absolutely Without Reserve on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, February 11th, 12th and 13th Each production the impression of that by which he made his debut. The name Caliga, which he adopted, is a Latinization of his family name of Stiefel, and by it he has Since acquired a reputation that has made this brush-name a veritable trade-mark. His pictures are essentially representative of the modern and realistic tendency of Munich art, which, while it still continues to produce subjects with an individual interest and meaning, seeks in their realization to present them in a natural aspect. Thus there is grafted upon actualities, the figures and facts of life, a poetic and creative sentiment presented by executive methods in sympathy with the spirit of the work. Mr. Caliga returned to America some years since, and is now a regular and favorite contributor to our exhibitions.
