Beard AMERICAN 1V74A—BULIS AND BEARS . Height, 39 inches; length, 60 inches Buus and Bears! A feeble title truly with which to cap- tion this spirited canvas! A scene of wild and turbulent conflict—of torn and flayed bulls, of bears gored and tossed! In some subtle fashion the artist has succeeded in ~ impressing human characteristics on the faces of the battling brutes—the insolence and intolerance of victory, the dismay and chagrin of defeat and, in some cases, a proud defiance in face of the triumph of the foe. A well- planned raid, in sooth, on the part of the bears, but by no means a bloodless victory, for the bulls have put up an amazingly sturdy defense and in sporadic cases have even defeated an individual foe. The scene of the conflict is laid in Broad street, at its intersection with Wall, and the battle has spread to the very steps of the Treasury Building. On the right of the canvas is seen a portion of the front of the old offices of J. Pierrepont Morgan, and the now obsolete telegraph poles of the old days are promi- nently in evidence. A number of other changed architec- tural details will be seen on close examination. Governor Roswell P. Flower gave a special commission for this paint- ing and paid a substantial price for it. It hung in his private office and was a source of unfailing enjoyment to him. Doubtless, in the minds of many, it will evoke vivid memories of vanished days and places. Without doubt this is the most important canvas Beard ever painted. Cer- tainly it is a remarkable one not only in the matter of extraordinary action, but, as above remarked, for the amazing manner in which the artist has transferred human emotion to the animal creation. The draughtsmanship is capital. | Signed in the lower left corner, W. H. BEARD. Property of the Estate of the late Governor Roswell P. Flower.

BENJAMIN FRANKLIN BEFORE THE PRIVY COUNCIL IN LONDON, JANUARY 650 ee 29,1773 ; AS Height, 57% inches; length, 8514 inches THis remarkable historical painting is one of the finest national pictures in the country. Apart from its masterly grouping, splendid arrangement of effect and color, accuracy of portraiture and costume, the episode it portrays greatly accelerated the course of events that led to the independence of the Colonies. The canvas with which it is so often coupled, viz., the Baron Joly “ Franklin before the Court of France,” rep- resents a quasi-social function, but the canvas now offered for sale perpetuates an event that aroused in the Colonies the deepest feelings of resentment at the contumely and unjust aspersions unjustly showered upon the head of one of America’s most venerated sons—Benjamin Franklin, the universally honored statesman and philosopher. In Bancroft’s History of the United States, we have a graphic description of the striking scene depicted in this painting. In 1773 Franklin was residing in London as Commissioner for the Colonies of Massachusetts, Penn- sylvania, Jersey and Georgia. There then came to his knowledge that there existed certain letters written by Governor Oliver of the Province of Massachusetts to per- sons in power and office in England calling for oppressive measures and advising action detrimental to the interest of the Colonies. Franklin obtained possession of these letters, and transmitted copies of them to the Speaker of the Assembly at Massachusetts, at the same time calling attention to their insidious character and the unfaithful- ness of Governor Hutchinson and Lieutenant-Governor Oliver. The perusal of these letters excited the greatest indignation. The House of Representatives petitioned the King for the removal of the offending officers, charging them with betraying their trust and with giving private, partial and false information to those in power. It was on this question that Franklin came before the Council, assisted by John Dunning and John Lee, to advocate the removal of Hutchinson and Oliver. Wedder- burn, the Solicitor General, who appeared in their behalf, changed the issue, as if Franklin were on trial, and in a speech replete with venom, falsehood and invective, charged — him with the vilest conduct in obtaining and using the | letters. This infamous speech was received with cheers and laughter by the Lords in council. It is the narrative of this extraordinary scene that forms the chapter in Bancroft’s History entitled “ The King in Council insults the great American Plebeian.” Of course, the actors in this exciting drama have all passed, but veracious portrais of them have been preserved in this painting for the inspection of future generations. We say “‘veracious portraitures” advisedly; for the artist Schuessele at the cost of incredible pains made accurate delineations of the sixty figures represented in the canvas through copies of family paintings, contemporary engrav- ings in line, stipple and mezzotint and even went so far as to reproduce with the utmost fidelity, the interior of Whitechapel with its furniture and details. What a wealth of historical and literary memories and associations an examination of the personages thronging the hall evokes. Here we see, in addition to the central figure of Benjamin Franklin, Edmund Burke, Dr. Priest- ley, Jeremy Bentham, the prosecutor Wedderburn, after- wards Lord Loughborough, Lord Dartmouth, the Colonial Secretary, Lady Falmouth, the Duchess of Rutland, the Countess of Coventry, Lady Wortley, Montague and dozens of others who were instrumental in making history as we find it to-day, and were the bone, tissue and sinew of the diplomatic, social and literary history of that epochal period. The proper repository of this unique canvas is undoubtedly a National or State museum, for it should be the property of the people as a whole, but a private owner would find in its possession a never failing source of interest and have the consciousness of ownership In a masterpiece that will inevitably greatly increase in value with the passage of the years, The canvas is in perfect preservation, Signed on lower right, C.

O04 Geronimo Scaéglia ITALIAN > 1657—— 1V9—THE MYSTIC MARRIAGE OF ST, CATHARINE Height, 86 inches; width, 62 inches GERONIMO ScaGLia flourished in the seventeenth century. He was a prominent painter of Sacred and Historical sub- jects and a master of perspective. The Mystic Marriage of St. Catharine is one of the finest examples of his work. The easy grouping of the figures, the rich splendor of the color scheme, the aerial perspective and the masterly draughtsmanship, stamp this composition as a masterpiece. Professor Pasquale Farine, the distinguished expert and art critic, writes of this painting: “The figure grouping, the spontaniety of pose, the joyful and devotional expressions on the individual faces, the richness and brilliancy of the color scheme and harmony of tone value, the rendering of the light and shade of the chiaroscuro and the handling of draperies, present a com- bination of exceptional qualities seldom encountered in the works of the schools and masters of this period.” Signed in the lower left hand corner, GERONIMO ScaGira—vs. Scacria LUGEN is.
