great power and his pictures stand
out bold and clear. He was patronized
by Charles v, who gave him a yacht
in which he cruised about the Dutch
coast. When he died in 1888 he was
regarded as one Of the masters OF the
Dutch School. His pictures are highly
priced on account OF the bold. realistic
treatment Of each subject.
Hugo Van der Goes.
Hugo Van der Goes Alteration Of
the Magi" is remarkable for the num-
Der Of people and of the rare beauty
of the Virgin, the central figure of the
picture. The Child is seen in the
manager surrounded by the people who
have come to do homage unto Him.
Each face is distinct and the express
sions shown are wonderfully lifelike.
one of the angels has been a study
for art students, and few II any have
been able to copy the angelic sweet
ness Of the angel nearest the Virgin.
Joseph here is shown as a tall man
an original conception. The canvas is
long enough for the figures to be life
size. The coloring is vivid as the
picture has none OF the dullness so
often found in the old paintings.
Van der Goes was born in Client, in
14O5, and is frequently described as
one OF the painters OF Bruges, and a
number Of his frescoes are in the
churches at that place. He left Client
during the instruction and went to
Paris, where he painted the Cruel
1 iXion." Later he returned to Client
and entered a cloister near Brussels.
While there he was granted special
privileges-one of them that Of being
allowed to dine with friends. At these
dinners he drank TO excess and finally
/ lost his mind for a time. The monks
succeeded in curing this by the aid OF
music. He spent several months In
Louvain, and one OF his most famous
pictures was ruined in the destruction
Of that town in the present war. His
Alteration of the Magi" at the old
Pinakothek is his best work and one
of the largest. He died in 14S2.
AS early as 1892 Vienna had an
Academy of Arts where a number OF
paintings by the great masters were
preserved. The different Princes and
noblemen also possessed private gal
leries, while the churches were ricf
In frescoes. Gradually the noblemer
sent their paintings to the Academy Of
Art and the collection grew so large
that a special building known as the
, "Belvedere" was erected. Later, the
entire collection of thirteen hundred
pictures was moved to what is known
as the Imperial or National Gallery
Among these are a large number Of
paintings of the Christ Child. Like
the pictures at Munich one finds thai
the artists have very different con
, ceptions of the Child and His mother

SWT this season Of the year when
the thoughts Of the whole
Christian world are conferred
y - on Him in whose honor Christ
mas is celebrated It might not be
amiss to turn aside for a moment from
the actual scenes OF His life and what
they mean to us and look at some Of
the uncommon conceptions Of His
birth as portrayed on canvas which
hang in the principal galleries Of
Europe. Ever since the birth OF the
Saviour OF mankind artists of every
age and nationality have sought to
portray the scene and the result has
been some curious as we'll as remark
able pictures.
The galleries OF Munich and Vienna,
both so rich IN rare old paintings, con-
tain a number of these uncommon
works Of art which, while they bear
the stamp Of the age in which the
artist lived, yet all relating in some
way to the message For unto you this
day is born a Saviour. which is Christ,
the Lord"
The Old Pinakothek at Munich Is,
perhaps, the richest gallery in the
world in these uncommon paintings
Of the birth and childhood of Christ.
As early as the sixteenth century the
Bavarian Princes were noted for their
fondness for art, and several Of them
had private collections. These formed
the nucleus of ,this great gallery built
in 1926. At present It contains over
eleven hundred paintings, almost
every artist Of note being represented
bv cOne of his best works.
The Old Pinakothek depository for
Pictures) has always been a favorite
gallery with American art students.
They usually finish off" at Munich,
and every day one finds a number Of
energetic students hard at work try
ing to reproduce the beautiful colOring
OF some masterpiece. quite a few are
most ambitious, If one is to judge from
the size Of the canvas set up before
them. They frequently attempt Ma
donnas, perhaps because they are the
most difficult to copy, owing to the
delicate flesh tints Of the faces Of the
Mother and Child.
The natives Of Southern Germany
are perhaps a trile more romantic
than those who live in the cold north
and they show a higher appreciation
to their galleries and visit them often
They encourage the school children Ia
study the art treasures, and IL is nc
uncommon sight to meet forty or fifty
healthy little Bavarians being escorted
through the rooms by their teacher
Naturally pictures of the Christ Child
attract them. and their delight over
the teachers talk about the Nativity

them, too, the story Of the artist who
created the picture. and in such way

The foreground shows the adorR-
ton Of the Magi. The Virgin is seated
holding the Child. while one of the
kings kneels before him. Two camele
laden with offerings are at the extreme
right. The open stable. typical OF the
Holy Land, is perhaps the true rep
resentation Of the place of His birth.
The scene surrounding the stable Is
the queerest OF ALL and hours might
be spent studying the little figures
which dot the skating pond at tn,

man is seen In the act OF choppins

another is carrying the branches TO

houses are we'll drawn. even 70 the

the side wall OF one OF the largest
rooms OF the gallery. The guides
always point out the picture as one OF
the most noted and one OF them car
ries a large magnifying glass to show
how perfectly the smallest figures are
painted.
The creator OF this wonderful pic
ture was born at Mechlen IN 1912. and
died in 1904, being a victim of an
epidemic which swept over the City

The artist who is responsible for
this remarkable picture was born at

known as Uitewael instead Of Wtewael
and was the son Of painter Of glass.
He studied with his father until he
was eighteen years OF age and then
became a scholar of Joost de Beer,
under whom he studied for three
years. He afterward went to Italy,
