Random Impressions
In Current Exhibitions

The collection formed by Francois
Flameng, the distinguished French
painter, is to be sold in Paris at the
Georges Petit gallery on May 2s and
q. A copy of the catalogue, Just re-
ceived from the ommissaire-priseur
M. LairDubreuil, suggests a really
brilliant array of paintings and draw
ings. The former are of various Con-
tinental schools, and there are several
souvenirs of eighteenth century Eng
land. The Italian pictures include two
charming examples of Guardi and
fine altar piece of the Umbrian school.
There is "Mars and Venus" by Tie
polo, which, from the illustration, we
take to be a gem. The portrait of
Olivares given to Velasquez is not
quite SO convincing, but, on the other
hand, there is a bit Of still life, "Le
Dindon," attributed to the great Span
lard, which appears to be too beauti-
fully painted to have come from any
other studio. The salient canvas from
the Low Countries is striking portrait
by kenlbrardt The eighteenth century
Frenchmen are we'll represented. Char
din being particularly in evidence. The
paintings form, on the whole, an i'm
pressive company, and the exhibit of
medieval and eighteenth century
French sculpture is obviously impor-
tant, but the feature of the collection
which will doubtless promote exciting
competition at the sale is that formed
by old and modern drawings. These
are prime examples of the Italian
Renaissance, Of Northern masters like
Holbein, of Frenchmen like Watteau,
Boucher and Frago, and there is a glo-
rious collection of no fewer than
