great stress upon the old masters.
There are modern pictures. Of course,
in this gathering OF nearly four hun
dred works of art, pictures of all the
schools The list opens with couple
of paintings by Nerestchagin. Then
there are numerous specimens OF the
Barbizon and Impressionist schools, Of
Monticello, Of the American Blakelock,
and many others. One of the most en-
ticing things in the modern wing IS
the production Of Frenchman too lit
tie known here, Marcelin Desboutins.
Puvis, too. has his place. Neverthe-
less, looking over an advance copy Of
the catalogue, we have been struck by
the interest which develops when the
old masters begin. They include an
unusually promising group Of Italian
Primitives and long list OF such
painters as Botticelli, Del Ssrto. Sc
bGstiano del Piombo. Gina da Cone
giano, Luini. and so on down 10 Bron-
emo and Tiepolo. The Dutch, Flemish
and British schools are yoluminously
represented and there is quite sur
prising array Of old Spanish paintings.
Altogether the opening Of the show
on the 10Th will be awaited with
keen interest Mr.. Lambert's collec-
ton has always had wide repute and
il will be stimulating TO come face TO
face with 10.
