heimer regiment in the Thirty Years war,
make an interesting addition to Mr..
Fo1lke's group of paintings.
An embossed sword blade about 900
years old is also on exhibition in addition
to a halbrad, cross-bow and number OF
other old-fashioned weapons
The outstanding feature Of the work Of
the old artists is the dull tone OF the
entire picture even when bright colors
are used, and this characteristic is evil
denced in many Of the pictures in Mr..
Foulke's collection.
Christ TrampIing Upon the World" is
one of the pieces in which this feature
is emphasized most strongly.
The work has been attributed to
Rubens. and If not by him, 1t is IN
doubtedly of his school.
The work is done on wood and is
Graded.
ANOTHER IN
DULL TONES.
Another picture finished in the duh
tones, which give the impression Of age,
Is 1.-THE Peasant and the Priest" by
Pomdel, a German artist.
The poses of the two men show an ac-
eurate knowledge on the part Of the
artist
Hawking" which IS attributed to
wouvermann, is another example Of the
art Of that period.
"The Nativity" by Bruiegianino of
Parneba, a pupil of Correggio. is an ex-
quisite piece Of workmanship in dark
eolors.
- The work is done on copper. and the
dark tones, which almost seem black to
the casual observer, on closer inspection
show multitude Of shades OF varying
degrees.

School OF Art called Hungarian Horses"
reminds the spectator Of the western
prairies.
The details are developed finely for the
minute size of the painting.
The figure of st. John the Baptist,
BY Chepdea, a Mexican artist, stands
out prominently against a dark back

itself is q dark hue.
''The Lutte Player" supposedly the
work of a Spanish artist, whose mare
Is unknown, might almost be termed
study in shades of yellow.

CAUSE PAUSE.
While the picture itself is not appeal
ing, the variety and multitude OF the
shades combined by the artist causes
the average person to pause before the
canvas.
The quaint dress OF the sixteenth CEN
sCry and love Of minute detail is promi-
nent in the painting.
Accuracy for details OF a photograph
IS the remarkable feature Of 1.-The Roof
Of Florence With the Duomo," by u.
Seliger.
"A Study in Shades of Green" might
be the title of an attractive piece If
work in water color by W. Paris whica
be calls IAN English Village"
An early portrait of Petrarch, the date
and author of which is unknown is
picture which attracts and repulses the
spectator at the same time
It is hard to tell whether the curios-
Nity is tmpelled by the manner of pre-
sentation or by the power of the strongly
marked features.
"The Wine Bibber," which is attributed
70 Gerald Don, belonged to a collection
that had been owned by a German baron
who lived on the Rhine near Mainz.
AN Important Question" is an inter
esting little picture OF a later school,
showing the brighter colors and a mod

Interpretation Of spring is unconven-
