1t has become increasingly ap-
parent while we have been rambling
along that it will be impossible to
get within the brief compass of
this chronicle a mention of mors
than small fractional part of those
pictures which are in the first six
galleries Of he Metropolitan. That
means that a great many painters
who should be cannot be mentioned,
but fortunately, since almost all of
them are dead, it is not probable
that they will write q letter to the
editor.

nothing can be said about ths

1t was on this very spot that q
-hunderous debate began between
Dennis and the chronicler which
hinged about the desire to meet some

Hals's insight into character situ-
alton is wonderful. He is we'll aware
that the gentleman on whose
knee the lady Is parked IS at a dis
tlnct disadvantage, which is the out
growth Of more than the mere fact
that he has about his shoulders a
string Of sausages, picked herring
and pigs feet. However much that
may affect the general proposition,
the nub of the situation is that the
lady has her back to the gentleman
whose knee she has consented to
ornament, and thus from a strategic
point of view the advantage is all
hers, for she may flirt as much as
she pleases and will never be de-
tected, unless, by chance, the gentle
man can read the back of her neck.
Critics suspect that Halls may have
learned these important facts
through his association with the
Harlem Society of DesWyngaerd-
tranken, Of which he was a member.
One can suspect almost anything Of
Harlem.

Spanish ART

In the adjoining gallery one comes
upon Diego Velazquez. Velazquez
was born in 1899 and moved out in
1860. One of the most pretentious
Of his pictures is Of Philip ~ of
Spain. Velazquez was in his twenty
sixth year when he painted this pic
ture, and while he portrays the king
as a tall, outstanding figure of
man with great breadth of shoul-
der, he has not done so we'll by the
face, whose too full lips do not sug-
gest power and decision.
"ln that day." said Dennis, "the
portrait painter painted what he
saw"
However that may be, it seems to
be a fact that Velazquez's prices
were reasonable beyond complaint.
When it is understood that 500
reales are the equivalent Of about
$40, the following document, which
was also turned over to the Museum
by Mr.. Altman, is particularly edi-
flying:
II, Diego Velazquez, painter to

cleared his throat. 1t is probable
that in the entire history of the
Museum greater tribute never was
paid to Ruisdaei. We passed on to
the Toilet Of Bathsheba After the
Eath,' by Rembrandt, and a look of
relief passed across the face of the
attendant.
1t has been said of Ruisdael that
of all Dutch painters he is the one
who resembles his own country most
nobly. He has "its amplitude, it's
sadness, its almost gloomy placidity,
It's monotonous and tranquil charm. "
His colors are generally brown and
green, with grayish skies. The
"Wheattielt.s" differs from his usual
pictures, as it is lighted by a streak
of sunlight and the colors are ap-
propriate to that effect.
Dennis did not dance before the
Toilet Of Bathsheba After the
Bath" This famous Rembrandt in
the nude has changed hands dozen
times and was secured by Mr.. Alt
man in Paris in 1913. In Paris, two
years before the Terror, it sold for
s24o, or l,20O francs, which shows
what coming Terror will do to the
price Of good picture. In 1913 the
picture sold for 100000 francs.

Dennis fumbled for his pipe; then
recalled that he was in the Museum.
The attenuant in Gallery 12 cleared

The altman Collection
While the collection contains
paintings. sculptures, crystals.
enamels and other objects, it is the
nrst OF these with which we are at
present concerned. On the north
wall of Gallery / hang five of the
1hirteen RembranGts which were
Drought together by MIR. Altman and
"hlch remain as q tribute to his
taste, his pocketbook ard his public
spirtedness.
Rembrandt van Rim was born in
1906, died in 1869 and was buried in
rotter's field, which, according to
Dennls, Is as good a place as any
other for a painter to be buried.
since. in after years, it is almost
certain to rebound in his favor. Ac-
cording to Dennis, nothing so en-
RACES the public as the suspicion that
a painter has made money out of
painting, unless it be a universal
recognition of an artist who bv some
unforeseen mischance is still alive.
But even if Rembrandt had not had
he farsightedness to be buried in
Potter's field he still would have
come first in this chronicle. for it is
his work that dominates the Altman
collection, both in numbers and
quality, as the average Museum vis-
itor observes it.
The first Of the Rembrandts is the
"Old Woman Cutting Her Nails"
No more homelv subject could have
been chosen by the late Mr.. van
Rim, and yet into that work he has
put such tremendous force that the
figure Of the gnared old woman
seems ready to writhe from its
frame, and it, by all means, is that
which captures and holds the eye in
Gallery l.
There is a solidity to Rem
h?ardt said Dennis, which, hitting
1t, brings you to a full stop"
Bryson Burroughs, curator of the
Department Of Paintings, refers to
this picture as the "most remarkable
Of all the pictures in the room.
It is an example of Rembrandt's
late time (the date, somewhat
abraded, is 1859; it manifests the
breadth and beauty of his painting
at what seems to us to-day his great
est period, and shows also, to the
full intellectual quality of his time,
the profound insight into human
experience that his work took on
after fortune and popular favor had
passed away from him." Mr.. Bur
roughs has written.
"It's fine picture," said Dennis.
"No one would have to know art to
be hit between the eyes by it,"
Next to the old woman is "The
Lady With Pink" This is said to

ter-in-law painted when she was

says the handbook. "but Rembrandt

sitters their proper age, as is known
rom several documented cases"

Waagen wrote of the picture: THE

matician in dark, furred mantle.
The manner in which the figure has
risen from the chair, as if some
sudden circumstance had interrupted
his studies, gives the portrait all
the interest of a historical picture"
Van Dyck painted with plenty Of
elegance. His work invariably sug-
gests the ballroom.
We we're by this time before
"Filippo Archinto, Archbishop of
Milan," by Titan, and, while Dennis
did not dance or uppercut. he threat
ened to do something about it.

greatest picture in the Metropolitan.
There is in it the most dogged force

snapped.
So we passed on TO "Marraret

the Younger. Holbein seems to
have anticipated the modern maga-
zine cover illustrators and they cer
tainly have taken a page out Of his
book. AS our gaze fell athwart
the picture we fully expected to
see beneath the inscription "Novem-

seems to be very little new under
the painting sun.
