Abroad many things are happening The Salon
In Paris has been opened. The Royal Academy
will be open before very long, in London, and
that city will enjoy in its Guildhall, as has been
previously announced in The Tribune, an eX-
hibtion Of eighteenth century French and Eng
Ish art Of which great things have been proph-
esied This is too the time of important auc-
ton sales in England and on the Continent
There has been spirited bidding at ChrlstleS
for engravings in color by the English masters
of the eighteenth century, and the dispersal of
numbers of valuable collections will be ac-
complished in London in the near future, the
presence of thousands of visitors during the
coronation period naturally making enterprises
of this sort particularly Opportune. The auc-
tioneer is busy, likewise across the Channel
We have already referred to the Huybrechts
collection in Antwerp, which is to be sold there
about the middle of next month From NJ Du-
randi Ruel have received an Illustrated cata-
Iogue of the collection formed by the late Comte
Leon Mniszech which was sold at the Petit
Galleries in Paris fortnight ago. This collec-
ton has been very fatteringly described 1t
contained nearly two hundred pictures by the
old masters and a considerable number of OBJ
jects of art porcelans, articles of furniture and
so on great deal of this material illustrating
the craftsmanship of the eighteenth century in
France The plates in the catalogue give good
account of certain works by Tiepolo, Halls,
Flinck and others, but are especially interest,"
ing in the examples they reproduce of Largll-
liere and Dupessis. We reproduce the portrait
by the latter of the famous financier Necker.
The new periodical published in French and
English by Manzi, Joyant & Co, Les Arts"
confirms in its second number the good I'M
preston left by the first NJ Hamel continues
his inquiry into the origins OF modern art WITH
a finely illustrated paper on Constable; the sec
ond instalment of the survey of NJ. Alfred de
Rothschild's collection deals with some trench
and English masterpieces that appear in hand
some half tones, and the frontispiece is a par
ticuIarly welcome reproduction Of a beautiful
Donatello in the collection of the Marquise Ar
conati- Visconti. The most interesting contrlbu-
+ion to the current number of the Gazette de
Beaux Arts is treating of the treasures
left by Baron Adolphe de Rothschild to the
Louvre the illustrations including good plate
of the bass-rclief by Agostino di DuccIo the
madonna and Child" which is rare specimen
of FIorentine sculpture in the fifteenth CEN
t1rv and one of the most precious pieces in the
beduest The principal article in this months
international Studio is Charles Giron, the
Swiss painter, an Interesting hgure- IL Is Wen
illustrated. In the Art Journal Mr.. Claude
pbiIlfns carries his account of the French pict-
ures in the Wallace collection down to the
