the art centers where he made friends
with the most noted men of his time,
being particularly friendly with Mag
tin Luther. His coloring is faultless
and the faces, especially in his religi-
Gus pictures, are regarded as almost
sublime in their dignity He was a
man of great piety and in sympathy
with the reformation movement. He
died in 1928.
Fra Angelica da Fiesole.
Still another Christ on the Cross
stands out in the art world-that can
vas by Fra Angelica da 'Fiesole, a
circular picture, which hangs in the
Acadamy at Florence.
His Christ on the Cross is consid-
cred by art connoisseurs as one of his
best. It contains three figures, the
Christ on the Cross, the Virgin and
the MagdaIen. Christ, wearing the
crown of thorns hangs on the cross.
His head surrounded by a curious fan
shaped golden halo with three red
stripes. The face shows sadness and
is we'll drawn. The picture is rich
in color, the background being a blue
sky of the most vivid shade. The
blood on the hands, side and feet
which trickIes down in three straight
streams is a brilliant red, forming a
strong contrast to the sky.
MurilIo.
Ecce Homo (Behold the Mani, by
Murillo, is regarded by many as the
most beautiful painting of Christ in
existence. This artist is noted for
the sweetness of his faces, always with
touch of sadness and in this he has
excelled himself, for the whole make
up of the picture is sublime. A simple
head of the Christ wearing the crown
of thorns. The clear cut nose, deli
cate mouth and lowered eyes portray
pathos and spirituality rarely found
on canvas. The background is dark
brown, while the robe is a rich red.
The painting hangs in the Prado Gal
lery at Madrid.
Murillo was born in Seville, in 1917,
and although a poor boy became the
chief master of the School of Seville
His early life was a struggle and if
was not until after he married a. ladv
of wealth that he was able to carry
out his work to perfection. He paint
ed many religious pictures especially
madonnas and scenes of the cruel
f1xion. He died in 1852.
Solario.
Ecce Homo (Behold the Man), by
Andrea Solario, presents an entirely
different conception of Christ. A
bleeding head crowned with thorns is
against a black background. The red
robe has fallen from one shoulder
leaving the arm and part of the chest
nude. The hands are tied together,
one holding a long thin pointed stick.
The face is almost stern with it's tight
ly drawn mouth. The eyes are low
cred and there is tear drop falling
from the left one. Indeed so remark
able is this painted tear drop that
people stand fascinated before the pic
ture, some of them declaring that it is
