4 Gallery of ForEcrfe..

Paris possesses a very fine gallery of
modern masters. largely of the Bar
bizon school, not one of which is genu-
inc. 1t is to the painter Harpignies
that France is indebted for this queer
collection of the spurious. Passing
through the Rue de Vanguard one day,
his eye caught some canvases in a
window. They were all signed by
prominent names, including his own.
and every signature was forged. Pass
ing inside, the list became more extern
sive. and the painter found himself in
the presence of false Corots, Diazes.
Daubignys, Lancrets, Isabeys, Neu-
villes and even English Turner's. The
revelation of his own identity enabled
Harpignies to become possessed of this
collection for something less than the
proverbial old song, and it may now
be inspected by those interested in
such matters ut the state furniture de-
pot. where it is preserved as kind of
high water mark in sophistication.
