The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1899-05-26

wood encircled field comes in view and
afar off there Is the suggestion of a
town. The half light and the evening
peace are upon us and beauty draws
the curtains of the night.
A magnificent cattle piece is that of
"A Holstein Bull" by Carleton Wig
gins. The pose. the light, the arrange
ment of the picture are all in Virgins
best vein. In fact, I much doubt II
Virgins has painted anything that Is
quite the equal of this. A smaller
canvas by the same artist shows us
EARLY Morning" on the farm. The
dawn tints are well handled and the
figures, both cattle and men, we'll
drawn.
A landscape by Anton Mauve de-
serves more than a passing word, even
though space be limited. 1t gives us
summer in its ripest luxuriance.
The green's are velvets and the sky is
poem. The town behind the tall
trees basks in a bath of mellow light
Miniature gems are Tanuburrini's "1n
the Cloister Cellar" Androtti's NE
elected Business" and Velten's IAN
Incident in the Thirty Years WAR
The first two are marvels of detail
painting in the italian method. Tho
last is almost a Meissonier in its re-
markable finish and spirit. These well
repay inspection under the glass.
"Algiers" by f. A. Bridgman, "a
Lion" by William II. Howe, THE
Dreamer by F. S. Church, and RAN
