THE FINE ARTS.
TIE celebrated VASE, the chef d'ou.
vre of Grecian Sculpture, by the chissel
Of Lysippus; was the perpetual boast
of ancient taste. This splendid speci.
men of the arts was presented to the /
Earl of Warwick by the late Sir vii. /
liam Hamilton. A fac simile of this
great Vase, entirely of metal, was be.
gun in 1914, by Mr.. Thomason of Biz.
who has lately finished it,
The Vase is 81 feet in circumference
weighs several tons, and is considered
tn grandest specimen ofmetalIic scup'
lure in the world. In 1914, the lat
Earl, who was liberal patron of The
Fine Arts, permitted Mr.. ThOmason
and his artists to have free access to the
vase to model it in wax, which
occupied several months !; from these
models caSts were made in lead, TO
serve as patterns to form the whole,
which has since been completed in two
distinct metals, the field being OF ono
metal, and the handles. vines. marks
panther skins, and ieXes Of another'
This original thought gave Mr.. lho'
mason the opportunity of adopting wv
novel modes of oxydation. thereb! pro.
ducing t., most beautiful effect Of llsh
and shade. The oxydating Of the d'IG
was accompli- he'd by conbinatlonE%
h, sulphates and nitrates urged on H
powerful heat, which has produced 'N'
desired appearances of the rouge ad
t,que marble. The marks. handles
parts in relief. are oxydated By the aS
tates, and resemble the verde aD''qu0
bronze anil the harmony OF these@i
colors produces an effect at once gram
and imposing. Il
