Artistas y sus errores

un dla ell MuSeo de la Acade-
mia, acompa1ado de TN amigo,
Y ambos pasaron por delante de
TN cuadro del Jessel, sin que es-
te diera Esefiales de reconocer su
obra. Ell amigo, por fin Sc 10
advirtio, pero el artista exclam6
con mucho deseDfado:
Como! IEste cuadro quie-
re usted que sea mfo? ST lleva
la frma "Jessel" no puede ser
|sino de mi hermano.
Sin embargo, evocando re-
cuerdos y reanudando hechos,
ell artista tuvo que reconocer por
fin, como suya una obra la que
tan mediana e indigna de su pin
eel lie habfa parecido.
ST, pues, los nismoS artistas
incurren en- errores respecto a
sus propias obras, tque derecho
hay para acusar a los peritos
profesionales por las equivoca-
clones que a veces padecen?
Uno de los casos mas celebres
en- Ia historic de las equivoca-
clones, paso al venderse la colec-
cion del afcionado NJ. Duret.
Como la perla de esta colec-
ci6n habfa sido considerable
siempre I'm Corot; cual ser1a,
pues, la deception de los here
deros cuando el perito declare
falso este cuadro y augur6 que
no Sc darian nj 15o frances por
81 en- la subasta. Sumamente
moIesta pidio la familia el pa
recer de otro perito, quien opin6
10 mismo que su colega. Pero
la fanilia no Sc dio por conven-
cida y recurrio al juicio de TN
tercero, quien, tras TN corto exa-
men, reconocio el cuadro como
aut6ntico y ofrecio veinticinco
mil frances por el. Ounce dias
mas tarde Sc vendio por 10000
frances en- el Hotel de Ventas.
Suerte parecida le cupo a TN
Daubigpy. Ell primer poseedor
que habia adquirido el cuadro
directamente del artista, 10 ven
dio muchos afios despues a TN
comerciante en- cuadros por IS
mil frances. AL dia siguiente
este a su vez 10 vendio por
10000 frances, y pocos dfas mas
tarde, el lienzo iba a parar a ma
nos de TN acaudalado banquero.
quien pag6 por 81 la suma de 90
mil frances. iPero POGO le habfa
de durar el gozo por tan codicia-
da adquisicion! Varios de sus
amigos declararon falsifcado ell
cua1ro, y el comprador, creyen-
dose engafado, obligo al conner
ciante en- Cuadros a devolverle
su dinero. Ell comerciante a su
vez retorno ell cuadro al anterior
comprador, quien 10 hizo a su
primer propietario, a pesar de
que este juro por todos los SAN
tos que el cuadro era autentico.
Mas tarde, no queriendose re-
signar a la perdida de su repu-
tacion y al mismo tempo de su
capital, presento el cuadro a TN
perito ingles. el cual 10 declare
autentico y pago por el 10000
frances. POGO despues 10 ven
dio a TN millionaire yanqui por
la fabulosa suma de 225.ooo
frances.

Hace POGO, toda la prensa Sc.
ocupo en- una supuesta fals1tlca-
cion de I'm cuadro de Gerome,
que luego resulto ser una mo-
difcaci6n que ell autor m1smo
habfa hecho, atendiendo a los
deseos del primer comprador.
Gerome, que cuenta ochenta
amos v que ha pintado tanto en-
SUI vida que casi no Sc acuerda
va de las obras de su Juventud,
Sc ha excusado con la fojedad
de su memoria y ha reconocido
su obra, evitando asf la inter
vencion judicial.
Pero este case no es a1slado /;
hace muy POGO ocurrio otro pa
recido. Tn caballero compro en-
una subasta en- el Hotel de Ven
tas de Paris tres Cuadros, dos de
los cuales lIevaban la frma de!
conocido paisajista Damoye. Ell
tercero carecia de frma, pero
fguraba en- la venta como obra
del mismo autor. Por esta ra-
zon el comprador Sc traslado al
taller del artista para ped1rle
que firmara tambien aquel
trabaio. Pero Damoye, apenas
hubo mirado el cuadro, exclamo:
NO frmo; esta obra no es
mia; es una Justification y nj 81
Quiera Sc parece a mis- demas
trabajos.
-5Y estos otros cuadros ?
exclamo asustado el comprador.
-Es indudable que seran debl-
dos al pincel del mismo art1sta'
Y la frma es de usted.
-Puede ser-contest6 ell pin
tor-pero tampoco son hechos
por mi.
AL caballero le falt6 tempo
para volver al Hotel de Ventas
Y pedir explicaciones al com1-
sario que habfa dirigido la SUI
basta. Este, despues de haber
escuchado las quejas, exclamo :
"-i Pero Damoye esta loco! La
subasta Sc hizo por cuenta suya;
era la herencia de su padre. Es-
pere usted TN momento; 1remos
1untos a casa de DamOye."
Este, al escuchar al comisario,
efectivamente record0 los he
chos Y Sc disculpo diciendo que
los cuadros lie habian parecido
tan malos, que jamas Sc le hu-
biera ocurrido que fuesen obra
suya.
Otra de estas aventuras lie
ocurri6, a TN joven afcionado,
con ell pintor Vollon. Al infor-
marse aquel con el maestro mis-
mo, respecto a la autenticidad
de TN lienzo que acababa de ad-
uuirir, Vallon, creyendo que
era una estafa, rasg0 en- un &C
ceso de colera ell cuadro por di-
ferentes parties.
Cuando mas tarde, gracias al
empefo del joven afcionado, el
artista reconocio la obra des
trufda como suya, no le quedo
mas remedio que indemnizar a
aquel con otra obra, que result
to de mucho mas merito que
la pintada en- Su iuventud.

North Andover, Little Grant and

priest, is an able young man of
modern ideas and very popular, not
only with his own parishioners, but
with the general public as well.

Good Word for Rocking Chairs.

Some one who was interested in the
fact has discovered that while Amer
lean women are shorter than their
English sisters. their legs are much
more symmetrical and their ankles
more graceful. The belief is expressed

great love of the American women
for rocking chairs Here woman

knowing that the mere movement en-

the state. The principal promoters
were S. A Hatch, secretary and
treasurer, and Fl. G. Enke, presi-

account Of the Bloomington fire, the
insurance has cost the policy hold
