The great Altman collection, with Its
thirteen famous Rembrandts. will be
shown TO the general public in the Metro
poiitan Museum OF Art for the first time
on Wednesday next. and TO invited guests
on the evening before.
This gift OF Benjamin Altman's has been
officially styled from every point OF
view the most splendid gift ever received
by the museum from an individual, sur
passed in its munifcence only by that OF
the city itself which. as is well known.
has provided the building with all its ex-
tensions" Its opening is historic
event. sure to affect measurably the public
culture in the years TO come. and to pro-
vide present and healthful excitement in
the world OF art.
The thirteen Rembrandts are not alone
In glory In the Altman collection. There
are three Memiings and Dirk Bouts OF
superb quality; there are canvases by
Franz Halls, in which the artist throws
proprlety to the academicians and romps
with the widest in the tavern; portraits
by the elegant Anthony Van Dyke. by
sober Nelasquez and by ploddlng Holbein.
The Giorgione Is possibly another "Knig ut
OF Malta" and there are religious pieces
by Andrea Mantegna, Albrecht Durer
Fra Angelica, Nerrocchio. Botticelli and
Filipino Lippi. In addition there are
two marvellously clever terra Gotta groups
by Clodion, precious enamels. furniture OF
distinction and the famous porcelains.
So stif an Intellectual dish has rarely
been set before this public. The throngs
who will flock TO the museum on Tuesday
evening and thereafter are respectfully
warned In advance that sober entertain
ment awaits them and the Rembrandt
secret in uartlenlar ia be lightly
taken, like the young woman In William
Blake's poem, with Il smile Blake's
drawings for JOB" the late quartets OF
Beethoven the "Timon" OF Shakespeare are
filter preparations for the student who
wishes to be "in the mood before facing
the tragic yet noble Establishments Of
the old Rembrandt.
Gem May He for the Few.
Or. valentiner of the museums stan
has already been fearing that THE
Woman Cutting Her Nails" by him con-
sidered the gem OF the collection. Is for
the few, but philosophcally holds that
II is Just as we'll that what is supreme
can never become the fashion. 1T is
well that when great artist utters his
most personal message he should shield
himself behind an appearance OF sim
plicity or a sort OF roughness or blunt
ness which repels those whom superficial
ity attracts. There are eyes. indeed which
can see no ideaiIsm in such a picture
nothing but the prosaic thence an old
woman poorly clad and unconcernedly
cutting her nails" But "the wonderful
rendering OF space, the broad alienation,
OF strong reds and yellows, the light that
flows over the body In living waves, these
are the main things. these are the pic
ture and by their means the plain woman
OF the people Is transformed into a SHY
far removed from the commonplace Of
everyday life"
Bryson Burroughs. the curator OF Aaint.
! ings. who has written the catalogue de-
scriptions for the paintings, calls the pic.
ture "a poem on old age In which tn,
