the visitor enters. and is hung on the
left wall by the window that looks out
on To the Canal San Polo. II will be
recalled that the Sultan's ambassador ar
rived in Venice on the LIST OF August,
1919. and expressed the wish of his august
master that a distinguished portrait
painter should be sent to him from
Venice. The choice of the Venetian Re-
public fell upon Gentle, and on Septem-

mouth. This portrait is placed by the
painter within an arched opening; be-

drapery TO the parapet OF the window
through which the Sultan is seen. The

how to produce. Mr.. Thomas Moran,
too, is on familiar ground. and conse-
quently gives us something unmistak-
ably of the West in his work. Most Of
the others, on the other hand, appear
to be little at sea. They may have
sojourned in the West for a consider
able period, but they have not got at

may be pardoned if, at the first assault,

The painter Of mountains needs, in
the first place, strong grasp upon
ground forms and then a peculiar skill
in generalizing from his knowledge. He
must know his details and he must
know even better how to keep them in
their place. The trouble with practi-

An Impressionist Type Tested
Ry Time.

There was a time when the "Olym-

outside the pale. Now criticism quite

the .'Odalisuue" Of lnGres. Impress
sionism. i'm short. has been fitted into
the European tradition. Beside the
yagaries of the Cubist or Futurist II
seems very like some ancient. academic
formula. This strange AMI charming
readjustment Of things, brought about
by nothing more OF less than the SIM
pie passage OF time, Is delighuulIN

or twenty paintings by Pissarro. lie

prudently and slowly in the develop

faith the once revolutionary but then
sedate method of the Barbzon school.

influence Of the historic 3os. But even
then he knew the difference between
studio light and the sunshine of the

himself closer TO Monet getting a
fresher air into his work and keying
up his scale Of color. There are land
scapes in the Durand- Ruel show eX-

fun length OF impressionism. All this,
however, is an old story and there IS
no need at this late day exclusively

THE LAYARD COLLECTION
A Great Gift for England's Ma

When "Nineveh" Layard, Sir Austen
Henry Layard, died, in 1894, there
probably was not a connoisseur or ltai-
ian art anywhere in the world who dld
not instantly wonder what would De-
come of this Englshman's pictures
For years in his Venetian home, the
Ca Capelo, his collection had been the
object of many a pious pilgrimage. lie

only stipulatinG that the gift was not
TO take effect until the death or MS
widow. Lady Layard's recent death
has made the transfer OF the PICTURES
from Venice to London possible Wlthin
a very short time, and the Engilsh
newspapers are full Of details relating
to one of the choicest groups Of Italian
masterpieces ever formed.
Naturally the occasion has also re-
vived memories of Layard himself. MT.
