! A canvas by David-one of the great
artists of the French school-portray-
ing the CrucifiXion is unique on ac-
count of the remarkable perspective
showing Jerusalem in the background
n the numerous figures of horse
men in the distance. The face of
Christ would scarcely attract atten-
ton. but those OF the women grouped
about the cross are excellent as they
show that extreme sorrow and help
lessness which one would expect to
find in such a scene. Even the dog
gnawing a bone in the foreground Is
clearly defined, This canvas is re-
garded as one of the very best ex-
anples of ecclesiastical paintings OF
the French school of the eighteenth
century.
Another of the Italian school by
Savoldo shows a youthful mother with
a sweet face and an equally beautiful
Magdalene who seems to be looking
away from the dead Christ. The two
figures in the background, one holding
the. crown of thorns, are regarded as
fine examples Of action painting.
Another picture of the Italian school
by Domenico Panetti shows a beau
tiful background of trees with the
three crosses on Calvary in the dis
lance. The figure of Christ is in a
half-reclining position with His fore
head badly scared by the crown of
thorns. Curious white rings are about
the heads of the figures intended as
halos. The face of the mother shows
extreme sorrow. Panetti was a
painter of church frescoes and his
work is found in many of the Italian
churches. lie was born about 1860
and his death occurred in 1913. He
was a contemporary of Lorenzo Costa.
whose painting of a scene after the
CrucifiXion' hangs nearby. In this
picture the trees and crosses in the
distance form an excellent back
ground. The face of Christ shows
little suffering, while the wrinkled
brow n sharp nose of the Virgin is
not pleasing. The white line halos
are again seen in this picture. The
canvas Is a very large one and is we'll
hung. The numerous figures in the
background and their positions make
the picture unusual. Costa died at
Mantua, the city of his birth, in 1885.

by a painting by Ian Baldung, who
was born at Saubia in 1916 and died
at Strasburg in 1545. His best works
are historical pictures, portraits and
altar wings. His picture of Christ
after the Crucifixion in the Berlin
gallery is perhaps the oldest conccp-
ton Of the Virgin seen anywhere for
he represents her as particularly
h0lnely The other women of the
group are eXpressionlcss and the fig
ure of Christ unattractive. 1t is the
coloring of this painting and not the
drawing which gives it prominence.
! Baldung was SO fond Of green color

Baldung owing to the peculiar green
! which he always used in his draperies
and for his prediction for dressing
his people in green.

I on the Cross with Mary" 1t is the
is an example Of early fifteenth CEN
tury Scriptural paintings. The Virgin
kneeIing at the foot of the cross has
a French face and is far too youth
full, the Masdalene at her side appear
ing as an older ona Again we
find the halo but of n different type.
Van der Weyden was born at Journal
in 1400 and died at the age if CT in
1864, bout two years before his
death, although he was married n
the father of -four children, he be
came affiliated with the Brotherhood
Of the Holy Cross of the church of
caudenberg. The greater part of his
painters life was spent in the city
of Brussels. His work is found in
many of the galleries throughout Eu-
rope on account Of their beautiful col
oring.
one of the greatest paintings, Ger
tainly of the modern school, is Arnold
BOCklin'S big canvas of THE descent
from the Cross" This picture occu-
pies a conspicuous place in TIE Ma
tional gallery at Berlin and is re
garded as the greatest OF Bocklin's
S%criptural paintings. 1t has attracted
considerable attention apart from its
artistic beauty on account of the
Jewish cast of countenance the paint
er has given to the figures about tho
cross, for they are all perfect types
of the Jewish race. The. grief dis
tracted mother Is portrayed as an
elderly woman, and the hands Up
raised to the sorroWtul face show
intense pain over the death of her son,
while the beautiful Magdalene seems
Ia be turning toward Heaven for COM
fort in her hour of grief, Tho coun-
tenancc of John, the disciple whom
J Jesus loved, is full of sympathy as he
| tries To comfort the unfortunate Woin-
! an. The face of christ is one of peace
with just enough traces of the pain
of death to make the conception
ideal. In fact. the, whole picture,
even to the tiny flowers at the feet
of the figures, is eXquisitelY beautiful
ana one. Of the paintings which even
those who have little appreciation of
art remember. 1t has proved unusu-
ally attractive to Americans and al
most any day a group of them may
be found studying it in silence or
speaking of it's merits in whispers.
There is something aWe-inspiring in
the whole makeup of the picture, IT
was painted in 1876. Bocklin was
born at Balse in 1927, His first work
was on landscapes, but after a visit
to the different art CenterS OF Europe
he became a painter of religious
scenes as well. For n period of two
years he was a professor of art at
Weimar but was compelled to resign
on account of the great demand Cor
his paintings.
These. are but a few of the hundreds
Of great pictures depicting the scenes
of the Crucjfixion TO be found in tho
German galleries and nave been Sc
lected because they are uncommon.
They represent the conception of the
artists Of France, Germany, Belgium.
and Italy, of this scene on Calvary so
sacred to the Christian church.

Though the guests at the ball were

in costume. Those who did wear fancy
dress, however, wore some of the pref

seen at such an affair.
Many innovations that were most
DELIGHTFULLY."- received were introduced.
These included an elaborate ballet, the
