[Note. — Pictures marked A are in Allston Room.] ALEXANDER (John W.). Born near Pittsburg, and early showed great aptitude for drawing. He studied in Munich and in Venice with Duve- neck, going later to Paris, where he now spends about half the year. He was made a Member of the Societe Nationale in Paris in 1894. Beside a large number of portraits and not a few " fantaisies," his work includes six decorative panels for the Congressional Library at Washington. His studio is in New York. A Flower. Lent by the artist. Portrait. Lent by Mr. Herman B. Duryea. A 47 A25 AMES (Joseph). 18 16-1872. He was born in New Hampshire, and had already a fair repu- tation for portrait painting in his own State before he opened his studio in Boston. Going to Rome, he studied the higher branches of his art, and painted a life-size portrait of Pope Pius IX., which was greatly admired. " His specialty was portrait painting, and not a few of his many works were of rare excellence for vigor, naturalness, and grace." He was made a Member of the National Academy in New York in 1870. A58 Portrait. Lent by Miss Rose Howard. BELLINI (Giovanni). 1426-1516. Bellini was the true head of the Venetian School of Painting. "He was endowed with profound and grandly balanced feel- ing, the expression of which appeals to large and noble sym- [3] pathies." It was in the works of Giovanni Bellini that Venetian coloring attained, if not its highest truth of nature, at all events its greatest intensity and transparency. He at- tracted a large number of followers, and the brightest glories of Venetian art rose from his atelier. The Virgin and Child were his constant theme. 46 Portrait of Cassandra Fidele. Lent by Mrs. John W. Bigelow. BENSON (Frank W.). Born at Salem, Mass., and studied with Boulanger and Le- febvre in Paris. He has taken medals and prizes at the World's Fair, Chicago, 1893, at the National Academy in New York, at the Boston Art Club, etc. He is an Associate Member of the National Academy, New York, and one of the " Ten American Painters." Mr. Benson is instructor at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. A3 i Portrait Study. Lent by the artist. BLACKBURN (Jonathan B.). Born in Connecticut about 1 700, and died after 1 760. Black- burn was a portrait painter, and worked in Boston. A66 Portrait of Mrs. Lydia Hancock. Lent by Mrs. L. B. Taft. BOLDINI (Giuseppe). Born at Ferrara, Italy, and later settled in Paris, where he has his studio. Without being a slavish follower of his friend Fortuny, he has grafted some of the spirit of the Span- ish school upon his native Italian sympathies. " Boldini's painting of sunshine and of daylight is triumphant. Great breadth of light, delicious purity of tint, . . . these are the qualities in which he excels/' [4] A29 Portrait of Miss Elsie de Wolfe. Lent by Miss de Wolfe. A43 Portrait of Mrs. Stanford White. Lent by Mr. White. BOUCHER (Francois). 1703-1770. Born at Paris, and studied under Lemoine. He won the Prix de Rome in 1723, was admitted to the Academie in 1754, and appointed to be court painter in 1765. Boucher painted an infinite number of pastoral and idyllic subjects, some of which were intended for reproduction in the Gobelin tapestries. 26 La Musique. Lent by Hon. William A. Clark, Montana. CALIGA (I. H.). He was born in Auburn, Ind., and studied in Munich. He is a Member of the National Academy in New York, the Pennsylvania Academy of Eine Arts, the Art Institute in Chicago, and the Boston Art Club. Studio in Boston. A3 9 Portrait of Mrs. C. Lent by the artist. CASSATT (Mary). Was born in Pennsylvania, and has spent much of her life in Europe. She studied in Paris under Soyer and C. Bellay, and has also studied and sketched in Spain, and has been a frequent exhibitor at the Salon in Paris and at the National Academy in New York. " It would seem that she has found her true bent in her recent pictures of children, and in the delineation of maternity, . . . which she has portrayed with deli- [5] cacy, refinement, and sentiment. . . . Her color has all the tenderness and charm that accompanies so engaging a motif." A54 Apres le Bain. Lent by Mr. Durand-Ruel. CHAPLIN (Charles). Born at Les Audelys, France, in 1825. His father was Eng- lish, and his mother French, " but by life, love, and all that makes the man, he is French, and French only." He studied at the Beaux- Arts and with Drolling, and is a Chevalier of the Legion of Honor. In 1 8 5 1 he exhibited a portrait of his sister which won a medal, and has also done many decorative works at the Tuileries, etc. His portraits are much sought after. " Without copying Watteau, or any one style, without re- course to the types or costumes of another time, he has positively invented a genre of new, elegant, rich decoration. . . . This fresh and laughing painting is truly a charm to the eyes." A3 3 Head of a Young Girl. Lent by Mr. E. D. Jordan. CHASE (Adelaide Cole). A portrait painter and the daughter of J. Foxcroft Cole, the well-known landscape painter. She was born in Boston 5 where her studio now is. " Her portraits show brilliancy of color and great boldness of brush." A20 Portrait of Mrs. Herbert D. Hale. Lent by Mrs. William C. Chase. CHASE (William Merritt). Born in Indiana in 1849, an d there began the study of art, which he carried on later at the National Academy in New York under J. O. Eaton. In 1872 he went to Munich, where he became a pupil of Wagner, Piloty, and others, and [6] gained three medals at the Royal Academy of Munich. He has also taken medals at the Exhibitions of Paris, Philadel- phia, and Chicago, and was one of the earliest exhibitors at the Society of American Artists. His technique is masterly, and he ranks among the most progressive and original of American painters. His studio is in New York. A 30 Lady of the Rose — Miss Lukens. Lent by Mr. Charles Lukens. A3 7 Miss E. Lent by Mrs. E. COLLIN (Raphael). Born at Paris, and was a pupil of Cabanel. He received a Medal of the 2nd class at the Salon of 1883, and the Legion of Honor in 1884. Hors Concours. A57 A la Croisee. Lent by Hon. William A. Clark, Montana. A71 Two Panels. Original Designs for the A72 Opera Comique, Paris. Lent by Mr. E. D. Jordan. CONSTANT (Benjamin). Born in Paris in 1845. He was a pupil of Cabanel, and a frequent exhibitor at the Salon. His " Hamlet," which was exhibited in 1869, was bought by the French government. Much of his later work was inspired by visits to Spain and Morocco, where he lived for many years. A48 Portrait of Mrs. Eben D. Jordan. Lent by Mr. Jordan. COPLEY (John Singleton), R.A. 1737-18 15. Born in Boston. u He was the only painter of real skill which the New World could boast prior to the Revolution, [7] and he seems to have followed his art with signal pride and assiduity." It is evident that he obtained what knowledge he had of art, under great discouragement, and indeed, his son Lord Lyndhurst declared that his father had never seen a good picture until he was thirty. At this age, however, his reputation as a portrait painter was already established on both sides of the Atlantic, and when he moved to London, in 1776, he soon received a large income from his work, and was made a member of the Royal Academy. Copley's work is characterized by refinement and dignity, as well as conven- tional propriety. The hardness of the outlines . . . "corre- sponds exactly with the spirit of those times." " Like all genuine portrait painters, Copley unconsciously embodied the peculiarities of his age." 34 Portrait of Mrs, Joseph Scott (Freelove Olney). Lent by Mr. George Scott Winslow. 77 Portrait of Mrs, Inches. Lent by Mrs. J. Chester Inches. A77 Portrait of Mrs. Thomas Cranston, wife of Hon. Thomas Cranston, of Rhode Island.

Painted in England shortly after Copley's arrival there. Lent by Miss A. P. Rogers. [8] 71 Portrait of Mrs. Daniel (Mary Greene) Hubbard. Owned by Miss M. H. Whitwell. Lent by Mr. C. W. Hubbard. COROT (Jean Baptiste Camille). 1796-1875. Born in Paris of well-to-do parents, who would have liked to make a merchant of him. Corot, however, preferred to accept a scanty income and the pursuance of art. On the return of his friend Michallon from Rome, Corot went to him for instruction, and later studied also under Victor Bertin. He passed many years in Italy, making an infinite number of careful studies from nature, and from architectural subjects, which encouraged in him the love of the classic. " Corot is the painter of air. Everywhere light penetrates without reminder of either brush or pigment." "He assimilates all he sees to his inward dream, . . . striving with material sub- stances to express the impression made on a poetic mind by the aspects of nature." 39 La Bacchante. Lent by Hon. William A. Clark, Montana. 42 Italian Woman. Lent by Mr. Durand-Ruel, New York. COSWAY (Richard). 1731-1821. Born in Tiverton, Devonshire, England. He came early to London, and studied under Hudson and in Shipley's School of Painting. In 1766 he was made a Member of the Incor- porated Society of Artists, and in 1770 an Associate of the Royal Academy. He became especially distinguished as a miniature painter, and also left some oil paintings " of great beauty of design and sweetness of expression." 3 3 Portrait. Lent by Mr. Francis Bartlett. [9] COTES (Sir Francis), R.A. 1726-1770. Born in London. He was one of the founders of the Royal Academy and a Member of the Incorporated Society of Artists. He devoted himself to painting portraits, and enjoyed great popularity, especially after his good fortune in receiving some commissions from the royal family. u His strength concentrated itself upon his heads, the draperies in his oil paintings being generally by Peter Toms, so well known as the drapery painter to Sir Joshua Reynolds." 1 1 Portrait of Lady Bartlett, Lent by Mr. Francis Bartlett. 8 Portrait of Mrs. Bearcroft, daughter of Romney. Lent by Mr. C. Lambert, Paterson, N.J. COURBET (Gustave). 1819-1877. Born at Ornans, France. He was destined for the law by his father, but was determined to be an artist, and sent a picture to the Salon in 1844. He studied more or less under Steuben and Hesse, but painted for the most part without instruction. Eccentric by nature, he was ambitious to revolutionize the tastes and opinions of the students of art, and establish the supremacy of realism. "He is the strongest, the truest, and most satisfying of the realists. His best works were his land- scapes. In seeing them, one is sure that this painter had a sentiment and love of the beautiful in nature, and that he did himself violence when he affected the ugly only.'' A2 i Les Demoiselles de Village. Lent by Mr. Durand-Ruel, New York. COUTURE (Thomas). 18 15-1879. Born at Senlis, France. He was a pupil of Gros and Dela- roche, and entered the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in 1831. In 1837 he took the second prize in the Concours for the Prix de [10] Rome, and ten years later he sent to the Salon his famous work, " Les Romains de la Decadence," now at the Gallery of the Luxembourg. tc This painting rises above the particular spec- tacle to the realization of the collapse of a mighty empire. . . . The technical treatment portrays the influence of Veronese. . . . It is brilliant and luminous in color, and of a certain fierceness of effect which comes of fiery blood and strong passions. . . . Besides many portraits, and pictures of historical and classical subjects, we owe to him the decoration of the Chapel of the Virgin in the Church of St. Eustache." There is a fine sketch by him in the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, " Two Vol- unteers of the French Revolution." 41 Portrait of Miss Norcross. Lent by Mr. Durand-Ruel, New York. CRIVELLI (Carlo). An Italian painter who lived at the end of the fifteenth cen- tury. Two large and sumptuous altar-pieces at Ascoli, dated 1476, show him nearly in the full exercise of his power at that time. " With an exaggerated vehemence and grimace of type, he unites occasionally great earnestness and dignity, and an Umbrian grace and even daintiness of expression. ... In his best works he approaches the fine drawing and expression of Mantegna, with a gorgeousness of color in which he stands almost alone." 5 i Madonna and Child. Lent by Mr. Durand-Ruel, New York. CUYP (Albert). 1606-1672. Born at Dortrecht, Holland. He is best known as a painter of landscape, and portraits by him are rare, " Cuyp was many-sided in his art ; and ever taking nature as his guide and model, he escaped all reproach of mannerism. " His conception is poetic and his color glowing, and in some respects he much resembles Rembrandt. [»] 5 2 Portrait. Lent by Mr. Frederic P. Vinton. DAGNAN-BOUVERET (Pascal Adolphe Jean). Born at Paris, and was a pupil of Gerome. He received a medal of the third class at the Salon of 1878, in 1880 a first- class medal, in 1885 the Legion of Honor, and in 1889 medals of honor at the Salon and at the Paris Exposition. " M. Dagnan-Bouveret has created a school of his own, in which he has many followers. ... He is free from academic conventionality and personal affectations of technique. His pictures are chiefly of figure and genre subjects, and are soundly and brilliantly painted." A 7 Portrait of Artist's Wife. Lent by Mr. J. G. Johnson, Philadelphia. DE KEYSER (Thomas). Born in Amsterdam about 1595, and died in 1679. ^ n the Gallery of the Hague is a fine picture by him, represent- ing the Four Burgomasters of Amsterdam deliberating on the honors to be paid to Marie de Medicis on her entrance into that city in 1638. The heads are admirably painted, and with a richness of coloring nearly approaching to Rembrandt. The Museum at Amsterdam and the National Gallery in London also have pictures by him. 61 Portrait of Vrouw Anna Hunthums, Wife of Wembrich van Berchem. Signed and dated 1637. From the collection of Baron Pierre Coubertin, Paris. Lent by Mr. Charles Dowdeswell, New York. DEWING (T. W.).

He contributed [12] to the First Exhibition of the Society of American Artists in 1878, and was made a Member of the National Academy of New York in 1888. He paints "compositions of a decorative and allegorical order, . . . extremely delicate in treatment and very luminous." Studio in New York. A 70 Portrait of Mrs. John C. Fairchild. Lent by Mr. Fairchild. DURAN (Carolus). Born at Lille in 1838. Chevalier of the Legion of Honor and the Order of Leopold. He was a pupil of Souchon. In 1853 he went to Paris, and spent much time in copy- ing again and again "La Gioconda " at the Louvre. In 1 86 1 he went to Rome, and in 1866 he received his first medal at the Salon. He is best known as a painter of por- traits, which are distinguished by great vigor and brilliancy. " Behold a painter to whom we make our obeisances, even when we ought to criticise. . . . No one can deny him an astonishing power in color, an incomparable vigor of model- ling, a marvellous control of his materials, even in his most dangerous boldness." An Portrait of Mrs. N. Thayer. Lent by Mr. Thayer. DUVENECK (Frank). Born in Covington, Ky., and was a pupil of Professor Dietz and Piloty in Munich, and later studied and taught in Venice and Florence, Italy.

He went to London in his fifteenth year, and studied drawing with Gravelot, an engraver, and also at the St. Martin's Lane Academy and with Hayman. At the foundation of the Royal Academy in 1768, Gains- borough was one of the original thirty-six members. He was one of the best of the early English painters in landscape, and portraiture as well. Ruskin calls him " the purest color- ist of the English school," and again, in speaking of his tech- nique, he says, " Turner is a child to him." His forms are grand, simple, and ideal. 14 Portrait of Mrs. Scroope Egerton. Lent by Mr. R. B. Angus, Montreal. i 8 Portrait of Lady Rodney. Lent by Mr. J. H. McFadden, New York. GAY (Walter). Born in Hingham, Mass. In 1876 he went to Paris and studied with Bonnat, since which time he has devoted him- self almost entirely to figure subjects.

A8 Souvenir de Fortoiseau. Lent by Miss S. C. Bradlee. GREUZE (Jean Baptiste). 1725-1805. Born at Tournus, in Burgundy, France. He was a pupil of Grandon at Lyons, and afterward studied at the Academy [15] of Fine Arts in Paris and in Rome. He was elected Associate of the Academy in Paris in 1755, anc * a full Member in 1769. " His success as a genre and portrait painter was enormous, his simple style coming as a relief from the graceful artificiali- ties of Boucher and Fragonard." 3 i Head of a Young Girl. Lent by Mrs. William P. Fay. HANNEMANN (Adrian). Born at the Hague in 161 1. He went to England in the early part of Charles I.'s reign, where he adopted much of Van Dyck's manner. 49 Portrait of Queen Henrietta Maria. Lent by Mr. George A. Hearn, New York. HARDING (Chester). 1792-1866. Born at Conway, Mass. Entirely self-taught, he worked assiduously at portrait painting, and finally grew to rank among the representative painters of America. While in England, he painted portraits of many persons of distinction, among them members of the royal family. 70 Portrait of Emily Marshall. Lent by Mrs. Samuel Eliot. HENNER (Jean Jacques). Born in Bernwiller, Alsace, in 1829, and was a pupil of Drolling and Picot. In 1858 he took the Prix de Rome, and became a Chevalier of the Legion of Honor in 1873. He was a constant exhibitor at the Salon, chiefly of idyllic subjects, and received many medals. " No painter since Titian and Correggio has succeeded in securing, in the rendi- [16] tion of the nude, such charm of color and purity of expres- sion, and he was not long in creating a unique place for him- self in his art." His c Susanna ' now hangs in the Gallery of the Luxembourg. A12 Portrait of a Model. Lent by Mr. T. Jefferson Coolidge, Jr. 28 "Herodiade." Lent by Mrs. F. L. Ames. A9 Head of a Girl. Lent by Mr. E. S. Draper. HOGARTH (William). 1697-1764. Born in London, and was early apprenticed to a silversmith, and later became an engraver of Coats-of-Arms, shop bills, etc., and finally engravings for books. He also studied in the Academy in St. Martin's Lane. A firm believer in the truthful delineation of life, his belief found expression in a series of satirical pictures, reflecting on the social abuses of his time. " Hogarth created his art, and used colors instead of language. . . . He could not bend his talents to think after any one else. ... It was character, the passions, and the soul, that his genius was given him to copy." 23 Portrait of a Lady. Lent by Mr. T. Jefferson Coolidge, Jr. HOPPNER (John), R.A. 1758-18 10. Born in London. Under the patronage of the king, he be- came one of the choristers of the Royal Chapel, and in his leisure time studied art at the Royal Academy. He was made portrait painter to the Prince of Wales before he was thirty years old, and in 1795 he became an Academician. " He was [>7] a painter of a fine ripe style of color and a ready grasp of character." His portraits of women and children show him at his best, but he has left some male portraits of much force. 20 Portrait of Mrs. Hammond. Lent by Mr. T. J. Blakeslee, New York. 22 Portrait of Lady Leicester. Lent by Mr. N. Thayer. HOUSTON (Frances C.) Mrs. Houston is a Member of the Society of American Artists and of the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. Her studio is in Boston. A46 Mrs. John Batchelder, Jr. Lent by Mr. Batchelder. A42 Portrait. Lent by Miss Florence Breed. HUNT (William Morris), i 824-1 879. Born at Brattleboro, Vt. He left Harvard College to study art in Europe, and entered the Academy at Dusseldorf, with the intention of becoming a sculptor. " Although he aban- doned this idea in order to go to Paris and become a pupil of Couture in painting, his feeling all through his life was rather for mass than line." He also worked with Millet at Barbizon, by whom he was much influenced. For more than three years he contributed to the exhibitions at Paris, finally re- turning to Boston, where he gathered about him a large num- ber of students. " Few of our men ever had so strong a fol- lowing, or left so indelible an imprint on the art of their time. ,, " The genius of Hunt is eminently creative. . . . Whether dealing with the animated expressions of real life or the naive phases of nature or the simple expression of character, there [18] is a truth, grace, and power in his work that instantly reveal the original artistic genius." A3 Portrait of Mrs. M. L. Coolidge. Lent by Mr. J. T. Coolidge, Jr. A23 Portrait of Mrs. George W. Long. Lent by Mr. H. V. Long. 38 Study for the " Marguerite." Lent by Mrs. C. Frederic Lyman.

On his return to Paris, orders quickly flowed in upon him, and by the patronage of Louis XIV. he became the head of the French School of Painting. He was one of the chief founders of the Academie in 1648, and was also instrumental in establishing the French School at Rome.

For several years his work was refused at the Salon, and at length, in 1867, he made an exhibition of his own works alone, thus introducing himself to the public, by which he was much criticised and much praised. Manet is an etcher as well as a painter. ' c M. Manet, who is well known to American lovers of art as the leader of the new school of painters and the illustrator of Poe's c Raven,' exhibits this year two pictures, one at the Salon and the other on the street. ... In the picture on the Boulevard he shows his appreciation of grace and elegance, in that of the Salon that he is the strong master of a noble style. June, 1877." 40 Figure. Lent by Mr. J. M. Sears.

His first work of importance was a series of altar-pieces in Utrecht, but he became so successful in portrait painting that [24] Portrait of Abigail Bromfield [13J John Singleton Copley / he decided to make that his profession. " With a simple and truthful feeling for his subject he combined clear and often warm coloring. Fine examples of his art are in the Louvre, in the Dresden, Munich, and Amsterdam Galleries, and also at Delft." 63 Portrait of a Lady of the Family of Van Schwanenbergh. Lent by Mr. F. B. Greene. MILLAIS (Sir John Everett), R.A. 1 829-1 895. Born at Southampton, England, his early boyhood was spent in France and among the Channel Islands, where he showed remarkable talent in sketching from nature. He studied at the Royal Academy, and in 1847 received a gold medal, and was commissioned to assist in the decoration of the Houses of Parliament. Millais was at one time associated with the Pre-Raphaelite School, but found himself hampered by some of its tenets, and finally created a style of his own, " keeping only what was best of the Pre-Raphaelite influences." He became an Associate of the Royal Academy in 1854, a Mem- ber in 1863, and a Baronet in 1885. In France he was made a Member of the Institute, an officer of the Legion of Honor, and a Medalist of Honor. "Equally powerful in portraiture, composition, and landscape, Millais is one of the most versatile and productive of the many great artists of our time whose pencils have also been employed in elevating illus- trative literature to the level of high art." A3 6 Portrait of Mrs. Heugh. Lent by Messrs. Cottier & Co., New York. MILLS (Charles). Studied in Munich, and in Florence, Italy. His studio is in Boston. [25] A16 Portrait of A. B. M.

In 175 1 he became director of the French Academy at Rome. His most important work was the decoration of the dome of the Church St. Louis des Francais in Paris ; but he painted also a very large number of pictures, many of which were for the decoration of churches, royal apartments, etc. [26] 3 5 The Origin of Design, From the collections of the Marquis de Foz, Lisbon, Portugal, and of Prince DemidofF, San Donate Lent by Mr. Charles Dowdeswell, New York.

"Puvis de Chavannes saw and realized things in their eternal aspect, . . . caring only to seize amid the ever-changing spectacle of reality its most harmonious, expressive, and beautiful phases." A49 Le Faucheur. Lent by Mr. Durand-Ruel, New York. RAEBURN (Sir Henry), R.A. 1756-1823. Born at Stockb ridge, near Edinburgh, Scotland.

When George IV. visited his northern capital in 1792, Raeburn received the honor of knighthood, and soon after was appointed King's Limner in Scotland. He was made Royal Academician in 18 15, and was an Honorary Member of the Imperial Academy of Florence, Italy, the National Acad- emy in New York, the Academy of Arts at Charleston, S.C., etc. His portraits are painted with great vigor and a fine feeling for rich and ripe color. 10 Portrait of Mrs. Renney Strachan.

He is a Member of the Society of American Artists. Some years ago Mr. Reid turned his attention especially to decoration. His work in the Church of the Paulist Fathers and in the Fifth Avenue Hotel in New York, the Congressional Library at Washington, and recently in the State House in Boston, has given him an important position in his profession. A14 Portrait of an Old Lady. Lent by the artist. A3 8 A Study. Lent by the artist. REYNOLDS (Sir Joshua). 1723-1792. Born in Devonshire, England, and grew up among literary surroundings. He studied art in England and in Italy, re- turning to England and establishing himself there as a por- trait painter. In 1768 the Royal Academy was founded, with Reynolds as its President; and in 1784, on the death of Allan Ramsay, he was made painter to the king. £t In all his works we note great power, — a rare beauty of background, and, above all, a warmth and richness of color which was his greatest characteristic." 19 Portrait of Lady Louise Conelly.

He early began to paint, and at the age of nineteen was apprenticed to a wandering portrait painter named Steele. In 1762 he settled in London as a painter of portraits and historical subjects, and divided popu- lar favor with Reynolds and Gainsborough. Unhappy do- mestic affairs imbittered his life, and were the means of preventing his becoming an Academician, though Reynolds himself would have advocated his election, had he conde- scended to stand for it. His method of painting was simple and solid, and his color warm and agreeable. 16 Portrait of Mrs. Close. Lent by Mr. R. B. Angus, Montreal. RUBENS (Peter Paul). 1 577-1 640. Born in Siegen, Westphalia, Germany. To his education in the Jesuit School of Antwerp, Rubens owed his classical train- ing, while his teachers in art were Van Noort, Tobie Verhaegt, and later Otto Vaenius. In 1597 he was so advanced as to be admitted into the Guild of Painters at Antwerp, and in 1600 he went to Italy. On his return to Antwerp in 1608 he attracted a large number of scholars, some of whom he employed as assistants in his work, among them Van Dyck and Jordaens. Rubens possessed " a truthful and intense feeling for nature, a warm and transparent coloring, . . . and a wealth and fire of imagination which embraced every object capable of representation," — historical and sacred subjects, por- traits, and landscapes. His celebrated altar-piece, tc The De- scent from the Cross," in Antwerp, " represents the highest excellence attained by the master in ecclesiastical art." Of [32] A Flower [A47] John W.

From Paris, Sargent went to Madrid, especially to study the work of Velasquez, and on his return to Paris he opened a studio, painting portraits and " making excursions into many other fields of art." He has finally established himself permanently in London, since which " there has been no break in a progress that has brought him into the inner- most sanctuary of British Art." He was made a Member of the Royal Academy in 1897, as wen " as °f tne National Academy in New York, and the Society of American Artists. 79 Portrait of the President of Bryn Mawr College, Lent by the Trustees of the College.

A4.0 Portrait of Miss Katrine Coolidge. Lent by Mr. A. A. Cary. SNYDERS (Frans). 1579-1654. Born at Antwerp, Belgium. He was registered in the Ant- werp Guild as Hell Breughel's apprentice in 1592, and rose to the Mastership in 1602. u His developed form of art, his clear and frequently glowing coloring, and his broad and masterly touch were inspired by the example of Rubens, to whom he stood, not in the relation of a scholar, but in that of a thoroughly independent fellow-painter. . . . Next to Rubens, he is the greatest animal painter of his time, and like him, he has the faculty of depicting his subjects in the agitated moments of combat or chase. . . . His fame was so great that princes and nobles vied with each other for his pictures." 58 The Boar Hunt. Lent by Mr. Ross Turner. SOULACROIX. A contemporary Italian painter.

Born in Narragansett, R.I. Cosmo Alexander, a Scotch artist, gave Stuart his first lessons in art in 1770, and on his return to Scotland shortly afterward he took the young artist with him. The portraits which Stuart exhibited at the Royal Academy in 178 1, on his second visit to London, brought him many orders from distinguished people, and his success became thus assured. At this time he painted por- traits of Sir Joshua Reynolds and Charles Kemble, and also a full-length portrait of Benjamin West. Stuart studied human nature with as much zeal as he studied art, and Allston said of him that he could " thoroughly dis- tinguish the accidental from the permanent." His early work was delicate, pure, and very effective. Some of his later portraits have the paint laid on thicker and are full of power, but less interesting. 66 Portrait of Mrs. Perez Morton. Probably painted between 1795 and 1800. Lent by Mrs. J. S. H. Fogg. 69 Portrait of Mrs. Stephen Salisbury.

He later returned to England, and studied under West and Lawrence. He painted a portrait of Queen Victoria, which now belongs to the St. George Society in Philadelphia. In 1838 Sully settled in Philadelphia, and painted portraits of Washington, Jefferson, and other distinguished people. 68 Mrs. John Sergeant. Lent by Mrs. Harrison Smith. TARBELL (Edmund C). Born in West Groton, Mass., in 1862. He early went abroad, and entered the Atelier Julien in Paris, studying with Boulanger and Lefebvre. On his return to America he opened a studio in Boston, and in 1890 was awarded the Thomas B. Clarke Prize at the National Academy in New York, and the first Hallgarten Prize in 1894. He received a medal at the World's Fair, Chicago, in 1893, and a gold medal at the Philadelphia Art Club, his picture being pur- chased by the club for their permanent collection. Mr. Tar- bell is instructor at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and is one of the " Ten American Painters." Studio in Boston. [37] A26 « The Venetian Blind." Lent by the artist. THAYER (Abbott H.). Born in Boston in 1849, and brought up in the country, where, as a child of eight, he began to paint from nature. He studied in the Brooklyn Academy of Design and at the Na- tional Academy in New York, and in 1875 he went to Paris, and entered the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, studying under Leh- mann, and afterward in the studio of Gerome, masters whose work he was far from imitating. Mr. Thayer is not only a painter of portraits, but essentially a painter of the ideal. " His talent is one of delicate sug- gestiveness, . . . dainty, tender, and serene." He is a Member of the Society of Artists and an Associate of the Academy. A44 Portrait of Mrs. Alice Freeman Palmer. Lent by Wellesley College. TOMPKINS (Frank H.). Born in Hector, N.Y.

He early adopted art as his vocation and at the age of nineteen he entered the army. In 1780 Colonel Trumbull visited France, and thence went to London and studied with West, but while quietly pursuing his studies, he was arrested as a spy, and his life was only spared at the interposition of West. The rest of his life was largely spent in painting portraits of heroes of the Revolution, and also four elaborate historical subjects for the panels of the Rotunda in the Capitol at Washington, and other pictures of similar interest. " The most spirited portrait of Washington that exists — the only reflection of him as a soldier of freedom in his mature years — is Trumbull's. " "Trumbull left no marvels of beauty, no wonderful reflections of nature, but he transferred to canvas the features of those extraordinary men whose wisdom and valor guided to a triumphant issue the struggles of an oppressed people." 7 3 Portrait of Mrs. Gov. DeWitt Clinton. Mrs. Clinton was the daughter of Franklin, and as a child was known as " Washington's Pet." She was the mother of the Clintons who have been distinguished in the history of New York.

Van der Heist was by far the most renowned of the Dutch portrait painters of his time. He probably formed his style after that of Franz Hals. " His arrangement of portrait pieces with numerous figures is very artistic and easy. ... His prevailing warm brownish tones finely graduated." In his later periods his color became much cooler. A scene from the Archery Guild of Amster- dam, including thirty figures, is one of his best known works. Most of his work is to be seen in Amsterdam. 54 Burgomaster's Wife. Lent by Mr. D. W. Ross. Van ORLEY (Bernard). Born about 1493. One of an important artistic family of Brussels. He studied in the school of Raphael, and became a favorite of his master.

His pictures, which are noted for their beautiful Flemish colors, may be seen in Antwerp, Brussels, Dresden, London, Madrid, Vienna, Paris, St. Petersburg, and Rotterdam. The Lichtenstein collection contains two of his pictures. 47 Madonna and Child, Lent by Mr. Desmond Fitzgerald. Van RAVESTIJN (Jan). A Dutch painter who was born about 1575, and died at the Hague in 1657. Among the works of this artist are several fine portraits and four large and very interesting pictures of local historical subjects. These works are characterized as being " full of grave harmony, and more powerful than Van der Heist." These are " The Civic Guard issuing from the Doelen," "The Banquet of the Town Council," "A Meeting [40] of the Town Council/' and " Officers of the City Guard," all at the Hague. 55 Mother and Child.

In his earlier works he approaches Rubens, both in his broad delineation of forms, and in his coloring." 60 Portrait of Rubens' Wife. Lent by Mr. G. A. Hearn, New York. Van VLIET (Willem). 1584-1642. His works are rare, and little is known of his life, but his countryman Weyerman tells us that " he wielded a facile brush/' also that he began by painting historical subjects, and later took up portraiture. The National Gallery, London, the Brussels Museum, and the Lichtenstein Gallery contain works by him. 62 Portrait of a Lady. Lent by Mr. Durand-Ruel, New York. VERONESE (Paolo). 1500-1588. Is said to have been instructed by his father and by his uncle, Antonio Badile. Veronese's great reputation chiefly rests upon his representations of festive subjects, magnificent ar- chitecture, gold and silver vases, and brilliant costumes. [4i] " Never was the pomp of color so exalted as in Veronese's works." He has left but few portraits, but those are of great merit. 50 Portrait of a Lady of the Grimani Family. Lent by Prof. Charles Eliot Norton. Von LENBACH (Franz). He was born in Schrobenhausen, Bavaria, in 1836. He studied at the Munich Academy, and with Piloty, who took him to Rome with him in 1858.

He became a Member of the Berlin Academy in 1883, having received in 1867 a medal of the third class in Paris. cc The man who calls himself Lenbach is a personality, a man of the first rank."

He early gave evidence of remarkable artistic gifts, and by the time he was seventeen we find him at work as a professional miniature painter. He was a friend of Allston, and travelled with him both in this country and England, devoting himself to his art. " He had an acute discernment of character, and what is remarkable, considering his limited instruction, knew how to draw with absolute correctness. His best miniatures are preferred by many artists to Isabey's." Few works of art of the kind have enjoyed so wide a reputation as Malbone's " Hours." He died at Savannah in 1807. 42 Mrs. John Derby of Salem. Lent by the Misses Rogers. 43 Mrs. Robert Hallowell Gardiner. Lent by Robert Hallowell Gardiner. 44 Mrs. Josiah Quincy.

De SAINT MEMIN (Charles Balthazar Julien Fevret). Landed in Canada from Switzerland in 1793, and afterward lived in New York and Philadelphia, where he constructed a machine for making profiles with mathematical accuracy, from his memory of Gueneday's physionotrace. These profiles were first drawn life-size, and then reduced by the pantograph to that required for the plate, producing, when finished, the effect of fine engravings. By means of his ingenious process M. de Saint Memin executed about eight hundred portraits, and among them many distinguished people, such as Washington, Jefferson, Madison, and many of the beautiful women of the day. 64 Mrs. William Newton of Virginia (Jane Barr Stuart).

Born in Leeds, England, and came to America as a youth, He began the practice of art at Newport, R.I., as a miniature painter, receiving encouragement and valuable assistance from [49] Washington Allston. He was elected a Member of the National Academy, New York, in 1861, and was a Member of the Boston Art Club. He went to Paris in 1867 for two years, and exhibited some portraits in oils at the Salon of 1868. " Staigg has painted several remarkable portraits, wherein the character and tone are masterly, and the skill exhibited as delicate as it is truthful. He has a fine feeling and delicate insight. There is nothing crude or exaggerated in his style, and he comprehends the refinements of his art, of which his ideal is exalted, and to which his devotion has been single and earnest." 66 Mrs. Elizabeth Stevens.
