MADONNA, BY LORENZO MONACO.
Purchased by Metropolitan Museum of Art New

ing The Metropolitan Museum which,
under its new management, has already
greatly Widened both its scope and use
fulness, is much to be congrat tulat ted
upon the acquisition of this picture.
A MOTHER important picture which
~ will probably so to public institu-
ton is a portrait group Of Span
ish srandee's family by Sanchez-Obello
painter and courtier to Philip III. now on
exhibition at the V. G. Fischer galleries
This is large canvas finely executed
and splenddly decorative in effect. The
composition is we'll balanced and the rem
derng of textures admirable. So broadly
is il painted and rich and resonant is
its color that, as one critic has said one
feels it to be almost too good for San
cheZ-Coello, who is commonly found
rather conventional and dry. Certainly
this throws new light on Spanish art
tradition, and is of special interest at the
present time, when the work of the mod
ern painters Of the same land is being SO
widely discussed.
Arrangements for the convention of art
societies. which is to be held in this city
from May II to May Is, are being
made rapidly, and as the work
becomes more and more patent. One So
ciety has signfied its intention of send

all parts of the country hearty indorse
ment of the project has come. The ses-
sions will be held at the New Willard,
