would spare" he goes too far In the first place,
there are more than twenty paintings in the
National Gallery which merely on the point OF
intrinsic quality we could spare Then there are
others which might have been proftably ex-
Guided not as being without merit but as rep
reSenting schools already illustrated well
enough. The money might then have been ex-
pended on many a picture which has been al
lowed to slip through the directors fingers.
Again and again the English journals have re-
corded the appearance in the auction room Of
some old master which should have been pur-
chased for the National Gallery but the funds
have not been forthcoming. They have been
expended in directions commencing themselves
to few save the director. We dissent in short
from the comfortable view held by Sir Edward
Poynter, but that does not diminish our appre-
citation of the Gallery as one of the very first
rank.
The truth is that one of the famous gall
leres of the world is or can ever be ahead Of all
the others. In some ways the Prado surpasses
all its rivals. One has to so to Madrid to study
Veasquez at full length and to see in certain
of their happiest moods Van Dyke Rubens,
Moro and the little old masters Of the Low
Countries. Goya, Of the most important
men in modern art, cannot be adequately stud
led anywhere else, though may note. by the
way that the National Gallery possesses in
"Dona Isabel Corbo de PorceP' one Of the strong
est portraits he ever painted. Frans Halls and
Rembrandt must be studied in Holland, de-
spite the great number of masterpieces by the
latter scattered all over Europe, and neither the
riches of the Louvre nor those of any other great
gallery outside of Italy can show US the art OF
the South as it is shown in Roman, FIorentine
and Venetian churches, galleries and palaces.
1t is with a full sense of the Importance Of
every great gallery in its way that We re-
fleet on the desirabIty of more catalogues like
the one at present under consideration. Eng
land has shown the way. 1t is to be hoped
that within the next ten years or so we shall
have similar monumental catalogues of the col
lectiOns in Paris, Amsterdam, Vienna Berlin.
Munich, Milan. Madrid and St. Petersburg.

not feel much regret, since they are so well rep
resnted in the Wallace collection at Hartford
House, now 4 national possession. The absence
Of Fra Bartolommeo. moreover is not a matter
Of profound significance but that of Albert
Durer is serious, not only because of his great
ness, but because adequate examples of his art
are far from common in the market, and it is
not likely that any Durers of the first class
Will reach the Gallery by bequest. On the other
hand, as Sir Edward Poynter remarks, the Ma
tionaI Gallery is especially rich in some of the
lesser known Italian painters, and the great
masters Of the peninsula are certainly well rep
resented. The group of Giovanni Be!lini's works
is one of the noblest in the world embracing. as
it does. both portraits and devotional compost
lions. Veronese is in splendid form in this col
lection, and several Of BotticeITs finest things
belong to the British nation. In other schools
there are important works by Velasquez and
masterpieces like The Ambassadors of Hol-
bein.
But there is no occasion of course for a sur
vey of the collection in detail. What impresses
the reader Of this catalogue is its ratification OF
the broad impression which one receives from
even a cursory examination of the great coIIec-
ton Trafalgar Square, an impression of fairly
uniform excellence. Sir Edward Poynter takes
perhaps too favorable a view of the body of
work under his charge. "Judicious selection
from the very beginning" he says, has left it
free from the dreary productions Of the academic
schools of Italy and France which weary the
eve and Cypress the mind in so many of the
great Continental collections This is fair
enough and we are more than ready TO agree
that Sir Charles EastIake and Sir Frederick
Burton, the predecessors Of the present director,
frequently showed sound judgment. But when
Sir Edward declares that there are perhaps
not twenty pictures which common consent
