JOHN M. CARRERE.

The tragic death Of John NJ. Carrere-
doubly cruel in its shocking nature-has
cost the school of American architecture
one Of its most effective figures. He was
a type of energy and versatility. He and
his partner. Thomas Hastings, began
their professional life in the Office Of
McKim. Mead & White, but the work
with which they detached themselves
from their masters and started upon
their independent career was significant
Of their eclectic taste. They used no.
tives Of the Spanish Renaissance in the
great Florida hotel, which was their first
commission, and thenceforth they ranged
freely through all the styles. Carrere's
elasticity was disclosed in his work and
in his general attitude toward life. He
liked new problems and tackled them all
as they came up with enthusiasm. He
was busy on committees and vividly in
terested in all that related 10 the advance
of his profession He had a strong per-
sonality and made himself felt in current
affairs, striving devotedly and 10 good
purpose for the betterment Of American
art. His death brings heartfelt sorrow
TO his friends, and it deprives the public
of an invaluable helper in many a con-
structive undertaking. r. G.

which are Of great rarity. Familiar
works by Rembrandt and Durer are here,
but the special interest OF the show lies
in prints OF sort too seldom seen, nota-
bly, those OF the early German school.
Aldegrev' T, Altdorfer and the Behams
are shown in exquisite examples, illus
trations OF that blending OF delicacy with
solid reali m IN which the Northern
craftsmen stood alone. 1t is good to see
gain some Of Rembrandt's portraits and
religious subjects. some Of Claude's in
couparably graceful landscapes, some Of
the mastery rusticities OF Ostade, and
some of Durer's monumental plates. But
we linger with peculiar gusto over Hans
Sebald Beham's tiny Flight Of Helen"
and his Seven Planets" over Aide
grever's picturesque John Of Leyden,"
and over Altdorfers charming little fig
ures. We pause, too, before the bravura
OF Goltzius In his great STANDARD
Bearer" and before his almost classical
purity in the christopher Plantin." and,
finally we are arrested by the quaint
charm Of Dirk van Staren in his
"Deluge," and by the romanticizcd pas
torals Of Berghem-whose art is very
rarely seen as it is seen in this instance.
Altogether this is an unusual show

THE MANNHEIM COLLECTION.

No amateur Of medieval craftsman
ship should miss, either, the exhibition
at the Charles Gallery of the Mannheim
collection of enanels. worries, majolica
and so on. This assemblage OF l64
pieces Is remarkable for its uniform ex-
ceIence. 1t is scarce an exaggeration TO
say that there is not an item in 1t which
does not possess some special beauty.
The group of Italian pottery, platters and
jugs from Faenza, Gubbio. Urbino and
those other towns Of the Renaissance in
which the potter was a great artist is
fairly dazzling in its magnificence. The
French enamels and the worries are of
the same unmistakable authenticity and
Of the same supreme qu"lity. There are
reliquaries and similar jewelled pieces OF
the highest value, and as for the bronzes
we can only say that we long to see the
group transferred bodily to our museum.
In this part Of the exhibition are a few
other pieces Of rare sculpture, a beautiful
fragment Of a bass-relief in marble by
Tullio Lonbardo. and two figures in terra

art Of that time. and do II In charming
fashion. But Leonardo came to Milan
to exert the influence of that spiritual
power and that sheer witchery of style
which you see in the great cartoon of
"St Anne" which we also reproduce to-
day. His genius acted like the breath OF
spring upon the Milanese artists, and
with his inspiration they poetized their
work. In another of our reproductions
the lovely head by Boltraffio, you have
an instance OF the Leonardesque magic
so subtly pervaslve that one cannot help
thinking OF 1t as Of some hidden life
giving stream fertilizing a wide area.
In Dr. Riccfs book all these matters
are luminously exposed. Each great
painter is Justly characterized and his
satellites are sympathetically portrayed
for themselves and with reference to
their master. The region traversed is
full OF enkindling names. There Is the
whole glorious company of the Vene-
tians, there are other outstanding men
of genius like Leonardo and Mantegna,
there are lesser but still resplendent
types like Correggio, and then there are
many such beguiling individualities as
Liberale da Verona. Cosmo Tura. Lo-
renzo Costa, Francesca del Cossa, Buono
da Ferrara and SO on through a mellif-
luous list reviving precious memories.
One differs now and then with the
author. You wish, for example, that he
had found a little more TO say about the
brilliant portraiture of Moroni. But
these are trifes. The book as a whole is
sound. and it is destined to be very use

tions the series is being constructed.

REMBRANDT'S "MILL.."

Evidently there is to be no week with
out its news Of a famous old painting
bought for America, or Of one to be
placed, perhaps, within the reach OF our
collectors. Fast on the heels OF the an
nouncement that Mr.. Frick had secured
Valesquez's Fraga portrait OF Philip ".
came the news that Lord Lansdowne's
great Rembrandt, The Mill" might pos
sibly follow the procession Of master
pieces across the Atlantic. 1t is, in its
way. quite as important a canvas as THE
Polish Rider" which Mr.. Frick brought
over not long ago. Dating from Rem
brandt's later period. II represents him
not only in the full possession OF his
technical powers. but in one Of those
moods through which he occasionally
turned his realistic themes to high i'm
aginative purpose. Even in the small
reproduction which we give, the majestic
beauty OF this picture IL apparent. its
grand simplicity. its depth Of feeling.
Indeed, there is no work OF Rembrandt's
In which he is more spiritually the man
OF genius than IN this noble landscape.

movement, for its brilliant color, and for
a certain persuasive simplicity OF style,
in sharp contrast 10 the chromatic i'm
provisations in which he was ultimately
wont to indulge. The tone is very pure
and luminous. In fact. II is so saturated
in light that we can imagine the canvas
telling with a kind OF force in an almost
Garkened room. The picture is painted
very carefully, one might even say that
it had been brought to a high degree Of
polish, yet it possesses the quality Of
energy it goes with veritable swing.
This is a picture for a public gallery,
and there 1t would have TO have a room
70 itself. for in it's blonde vividness it
would kill almost anything else placed
in its neighborhood.
