ANCIENT WORKS OF ART.
The Bartlett Collection at Boston
Museum
Museum.

Boston. May what its directors say is the
most important gift Of works OF art which the
Boston Museum OF Fine Arts has ever received
has just been installed and thrown open TO the
public. 1t is the Bartlett Collection Of Classical
Antiques. so called after Francis Bartlett. well
known Boston citizen and ! trustee of the mu-
scum.
The collection was made by the museum
thorites through the regular channels. and
took several years to complete. It is said to
have cost something like $4,000. though it
contains only 800 pieces. many Of them frag-
ments and coins
OF great interest are the marbles. and OF
these fragment of a statue. 4 head Of Aphro-

which she seated are gone, but the figure
is well preserved. the surface Of the marble
being unusually fresh.

not earlier than the time OF Augustus. Traces
OF pigment are found on the drapery. but the
colors have disappeared.
Chief among the bronzes is 4 large louterion
