n APOLEON BONAPARTE was perhaps
as "perniciously active an art collector
l Y as ever lived; and he was not from all
accounts over-particular In the methods
he employed to add to the art collections of
France. Napoeon's collecting procivties were
first shown in 1927. when he invaded Italy in
his capacity as General for the French Di-
rectory. which. it will be remembered. was

had been developed in that day.

In brief, it will be observed. Napoleon invited
his soldiers TO help themselves when they
reached the Italian plains. And. as history
records. they were not slow to avail themselves
OF the privilege in which their chief set them
n pointed example Every town in Italy that
opened it's gates TO the French was looted
Pictures were torn from galleries. statues pried
from their pedestals. Libraries and museums
ransacked. Everything taken was packed into
carts and sent to Paris. except the trinkets
which soldiers and Officers succeeded in hold
ing out
The Directory indeed. sent the general word
that nothing should bc left in Italy which
our political situation allows to carry off
and which may be useful to u.s." At Napo-
Icons request a commission OF French artists
was sent To- Italy decide what IL would be
most desirable TO steal. This seems like a
superfluous formaty. since Napoleon took

Napoleon appropriated Perhaps the most
striking of all his takings were the famous

was regarded a crowning outrage. Napo-
