There is one subject for picture
which has never grown old or tire

of the painters of the dark ages when
melted wax and coarse wood were the
artists materials and the knowledge
of anatomy was q fearful thing akin
to witchcraft; it is seen nowadays hung

with paints that are almost luminous,
drawn by master hands and signed by
master names. The Madonna and the

hearts of men as this one has, because
no subject could be so universally un-
derstood. The scholar and the prince,

through the hearts of all it sends a
kindred thrill
1t would be impossible to make
collection of all the AiadOnnaS that

There have been many controversies,
too, regarding the merit of the paint
