THE S. T. M'kNIGHT COLLECTION
HE pictures owned by S. T. Nc
knight are the most recent acQuis-
itions in Minneapolis of paintings
by famous artists, having been
purchased within the last two
years.
Some critic has said that Jules Dupre
was the neaIest of all modern painters, in
spirit, to the old masters. He was pri-
marily colorist, and After the Storm"
is probably one of the strongest repro
ductions of stormy, angry sky ever
painted. The sky is a dark green-blue.
Heavy green clouds are moving rapidly
across the lower sky while those on the
upper part CT the canvas are light brown.
Almost in the center of the picture there
is a clump of fine trees in the autumnal
brown tints. In the distance to the left
there is a peasants cottage with a few
trees about it. The dark clouds are re-
fected in the water and two COWS Craze
near by.
1.-The End of the Day" is by the great
animal painter of the Barbizon group,
Constant Troyon. A COW is walking up
the slight incline of the we'll beaten path.
The light coming from between the clouds
casts the shadow of the animal on the
path and on the soft green grass. The
perspective is wonderful, being one Of his
plentiful pastures that is so simple and
truthful.
Jean Cain is the most eminent Of the
refined impreSsoniSts. Evening pic
lures a long street in a French fisher viii
lage with it's red rooted and low thatched
cottages The road leading down to the
sea has a few patches of grass growing
here and there. A bit of the sea can be
seen at the end of the road and the gray
sky above is tinged with pink from the
sun that has set.

THE j. S. BELL PAINTINGS.

The works Of art hanging in the j.. s:
Bell residence were purchased because the
beauty of each painting appealed to their
owner. The gem Of the collection is prob
