Raphael Is life, spent largely in three
cities, is reflected In the three schools
Of painting, Umbria, Florence and
Rome. He readily absorbed the ideas
Of those around him, but infused them
with his own charm and personality.
Pope Julius il, despotic yet art-loving,
commanded him to decorate three Off

Stance. This he did with great ale

life compares in amount and quality
most favorably with Titan and Michel

years. With fitting ceremony Raphael

Domenichino' IS est. Jerome
IRON lofty central rotunda, the
Dresden gallery extends in two
= long wings, terminating on the
right in the room devoted to Holbein' 8
Madonna, and the extreme left to that
{ Of Raphael. A special custodian
watches the Sistine Madonna, equal
ling the light and temperature, guard
ing from theft, or even dust on the
glass. Whatever conversation has dis
tracted in other galleries, here is per
feet quiet, and artists are continually
copying.
The wall7hangings are a dull rose,
and on the dark wainscoting, at in
tervals, of about three feet, is q golden
cherub, similar to those in the lower
part of the, picture.
The richly gilded frame, with she'll
shaped ornament at the pointed top,
and the name, Raphael sanzio,'' rests
on an altar-ike support, which records
in Latin that it was painted for the
Church Of San Siseos, Piacenza, Italy,
and the date. .....,
The artist has represented curtains
drawn back, from the top to the sides,
and a balustrade below, on which
two angels lean, gazing upward at the
heavenly vision. Surrounded by in
Vulnerable cherub faces, on pale blue
ground, the radiant Mother floats in
the air, bearing in her arms the celes-
tial son. The grave, sweet face beams
with spiritual beauty, and the serious
gaze Of the child looks into eternity.
The changing blue Of the robe softens
by contrast the misty halo of the
cherubs shout them. The venerable St.
sixtus and gentle St.. Barbara kneel on
either side, in worship. The yellow
and green Of their drapery blends har-
moniously with the others. The beauty
of the face transformed by mother
love, spiritualized, can never cease ia
have irresistible attraction, the same
! as the Madonna Of the Chair IL
the Pitt palace at Florence. ".

called the finest painting in the world,
is in the picture gallery Of the Vat
lean, Rome. Altho ordered for French
town, by Cardinal de Medici, it never
left Rome. The artist dying before it
was entirely completed, his pupils fin
ished It. It was suspended over his
bier as he lay In state. +.
The picture consists Of three planes,
and has the suggestion Of a landscape
in the background. The Savior, as
cending in q cloud of glory, has a mar
velous expression Of countenance.s On
either side appear the figures of Moses
and Elias. In the middle elevation on
Mount Tabor are three apostles pros
trate by the scene and insuferable
light. Below are the other nine disci-
pies; toward them press a crowd of
people, among whom is the father with
the demoniac son. The portraits OF
two figures, kneeling, are relatives Of
the cardinal for whom the picture was
designed. ss;G y...., !. =,
The unity Of the whole is sustained
by showing that in the miseries Of life
there is supreme source Of consola-
ton, as indicated by the lines toward
the divine figure, toward which the
apostles look or point.
Raphael's characteristics.
The characteristics of Raphael g
compositions are their balance and
proportions. In the first picture the
equilibrium Is sustained by the figures
on each side, the same thing Is also
suggested by the parted curtains, and
the two cherubs. In the Transfgura-
ton the balance is preserved by the
the two groups which form a whole in
the foreground. This occurs also in
the Knights Dream, in the London gal,
lery, with a figure on each side the
sleeper and in the Foligus Madonna, or
the Ansidei Madonna, where the up.
right and horizontal lines are contin-
ually repeated, as well as the arch in
the composition. In studying his forty
Madonnas this principal of technique
is apparent; or in the mythological
compositions for large mural designs
he combined the new learning Of the
Renaissance with part paganism, as In
the Disputa, and School Of Athens
The plan of balance and dignity Of The
whole, the adjustment toward focal
point, has not only satisfied the un
critical, but stood the test Of the tech
meal. The portraits Of Popes Leo Z
and Julius II are painted with great
vigor and strength.

The ferrydock was crowded with
weary homegoers when thru the crowd
rushed man-hot, excited, laden to
the chin with bundles Of every size and
shape.
He sprinted down the pier, his eyes

feet out from the pier. He paused but
an instant, and then cheered on bv the
amused crowd made a flying leap across
the intervening stretch of water and
landed safely on the deck.
