II is especially Characteristic of him
in its reposeful treatment of the most
tragic of all themes. The gentle monk
shrank from giving horror all it's dead
Illness. His scenes, as in this instance,
are dramatic enough, as though pulsing
with some hidden, central fire OF feel
ing, but the vision is, as it were, formu-
lated, brought within the terms OF
churchman's daily thoughts and &C
customed ritual. Even while. with his
emotional sincerity, he goes 10 the
root of the matter, he remembers that
he is unfolding part of great his
toric pageant, permanently engraved
upon the Christian mind in a certain
canonical way. Partly, too, the ordered
monumental character of his picture
monumental despite the modesty of
the scale rests upon the whole nature
of Tuscan art. II is interesting TO come
10 the Italians in this collection after
looking at the early Flemings, to come
from artists who fulfilled their concep-
ton of duty in keeping their eyes
upon the object TO artists who were in
cessantly subordinating what they saw
to what their imaginations told them
TO do with i.
The art of the Italian primitives is
rooted to some extent in life, but even
more in an abstract theory of design.
The supreme merit of the Fra An
pelico "Crucihxion" lies in its archi-
tectura rhythm, in the skill with
which the painter organizes his group
of figures. Reduced to outlines these
would make sort of diagram. Painted
as they are. they preserve their close
knit relations, yet take on the weight
and freedom of world we all know.
Ii is the Italian genius, the genius of
the Renaissance, steadily acknowledge
ing. with more and more candor as
time goes on, its Indebtedness TO the
ideals of artistic beauty promoted on
classic soil under the ancient pagan
dispensation. They all paid their trib-
ute TO the Greek law of proportion
and measure. all of them, great and
small. The extent of their own great
ness was only the index to the fulness
of their debt to the past. Botticelli's
"Last Communion Of Saint Jerome
offers memorable case in point.
None of the Florentines of his time
surpassed him in the most personal
kind Of power, and none was reader
than he to obey the simplifying infiu-
ence of antique art He was, like
Fra Angelica. enamored of the whole
idea of pattern" This little picture
of his, an interior pervaded with senti-
ment and realistically expressive of
ordinary human action, is also a con-
summate web of linear design. II is a
bit of drama. and, as a composition, it
has the sobriety and poise of an
architectural structure. The same
motive of design serves as strong
foundation for Mantegna's solemn
passion in his glorious Holy Fam

The Emperor has most fateful horo-

side spread before his eyes every day.
There is another religious subject
amongst these early Northern pictures,
the poignant group, almost a miniature

remaining works are all portraits.
Again il is Memling who seizes the
imagination, with his "Old Man. and
the pair of panels dedicated TO "Thom-
as Portinari and His Wife" We spoke
just now Of his cultivation Of an ideal
OF prose in portraiture. The comment
has reference TO his staid realism, his
dismissal of accessories and such mis-
cellaneous background expedients as
help TO turn a portrait into picture.
For him all that counts is the truth.
Does it include the more reconcile as
poets OF character, the elements in the
problem which ask the painter to be
a psychologist? The answer is diff
cult. Perhaps he got out of given
face all that il had to give. For our
modern eyes, at all events, his masks
are not very rich in personality. But
the broad human truth. we repeat. IS
there. The wrinkled skin on an old
physiognomy and the bony structure
underneath are defined, as if by kind
Of slow, penetrating magic. And added
TO this there is the power of style.
His drawing is an inexhaustible joy.
That. indeed, is the compelling at
tribute of all the northern paintings
here of early date. Lesser men than

MISCELLANY
Some ofahe Smaller
Shows Now Open.

The beautiful picture by Mr.. Childe
lIassam in the exhibition at the Mac
beth Gallery, recently mentioned in
these columns, was, it seems, but the
forerunner of other fine things from
the SAME hand. At the Montross Gal
lery he has just opened a show of his
own, composed Of old and new paint
ings, water colors and pastels, about
fifty pieces, all told. He fills two
rooms with light and color, giving them
thereby most exhilarating atmos-
pherc. This atmosphere is, moreover,
intensely personal, significant Of an
original outlook upon nature and OF
a strong, interesting method of paint
ing. Mr. Hassam's point of view, de-
veloped under the influence of French
lmpressionsm, has become more and
more individualized, largely, we should
say, because of the broadening of his
sympathies. There have been pictures
of his in the past which have suggest
ed only the studio. If there is one
thing which, more than another, i'm
presses us in the present exhibition, 1t
is the whole-hearted vigor with which
he drives at the form and color Of life.
Surely there is something here for
the ItDToDl anu tuiUChliOn VI kuOSC
young malcontents who think that they
can dispense with hard work and the
discipline of the schools. Mr.. Hassam
is the last man in the world to enforce
any merely academic principles in his
work, but all these brilliant studies
point to a thoughtful consideration of
the different motives involved, a feel
ing for design, rational inquiry into
natural phenomena. and, above all. a
respect for the integrity of pigment.
He can bring note of color up TO its
highest pitch, but it does not occur to
him to fout the laws Of harmony. He
has too much taste 10 do anything of
the sort One recognizes this all
through the show, but there are two
pictures, perhaps the finest in the col
lection, which throw particularly re-
freshng light on the subject. One is
still life, the New England Grapes
and Peaches" the other an open air fig

Both are mastery in their luminous
treatment of strong pure color. In re-
