Here n story about picture which
hangs In the ruined Church Of Tin
zuntzan, Mexico, and which the Mexi-
can Herald asserts is q genuine Titan,
which, though the average traveller
knows nothing about, has been visited
by artists from all parts Of the globe,
who have made the journey to Mexico
solely for the purpose Of seeing this
canvas. And they have all declared
that the picture was well worth the
trip.
The famous picture hangs in one Of
the old ruined churches. The padre
himself will point out the way and
stay with you while you are there. The
entrance to the auditorium Of the
church IL through long, dark corridor,
that leads up to a great door, barred
and chained and padlocked-that seem
ed to carry you back to the old feudal
days and make one think that the doors
of some old castle were being opened
to him.
The door opens into an inner room as
dark as night, the padre unfastens a
grated window, and q food Of golden
sunlight comes from over the western
hills beyond the lake and falls fun up
on the picture. Such coloring, such
composition. such feeling az could only
come from the hand Of q master. Ira
diton says it was painted by Titan and
presented to Philip Of Spain. Eminen,
men. authors and painters agree with
this version. An effort has been made
to, buy the painting, and $4,000 was
effered BY the Bishop Of Mexico. but
