the canvas is in the face of Christ,
and it has never been eXCelled in It's
sweet, spirituelle portrayal. The
painting hangs in the National gal
lery at Dresden.
Durer was born at Nuremberg in
1471. At an early age he displayed
great talent in drawing and. In 1885
his father ~apprenticed him to the
great painter W~ohlgemuth, with
whom he studied several years. Lat
er he studied in Venice and travelled
to all the art centers, where he made
friends with the most noted men of
bis time, being particularly friendly
with Martin Luther. His coloring
is faultless and the faces, especially
in his religious pictures, are regarded
as almost sublime In their dignity.
He was a man of great piety and in
sympathy with the reformation move
ment. He died in 1923.
FRA ANGELICA DA FIESoLE.
Still another Christ on the Cross
stands out in the art worId-that
canvas by Fra Angelica da Flesole,
a circular picture, which hangs In
the Academy at Florence.
His Christ on the Cross is consid-
cred by art connoisseurs as one of his
best. 1t contains three figures, the
Christ on the Cross, the Virgin and

the Magdalen. 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 well 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 trickles down In three straight
streams is a brilliant red, forming
a strong contrast to the sky.
MURiLlO.
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 a touch of sadness, and In this
he has excelled himself, for the whole
makeup of the picture is sublime.

the crown of thorns. The clear cut
nose, delicate mouth and lowered eyes
portray a pathos and spirituality rare
ly found on canvas. The background
Is dark brown, while the robe is a
rich red. The painting hangs in the
Prado gallery at Madrid.
Murillo was born in Seville In 1917,
and although a poor boy became the
chief master of the School of Seville.

was not until after he married a lady

SoLARio.
Ecce Homo (BehOld the Mani 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,
M holding a long thin pointed stick.
The face is almost stern with it's
tightly drawn mouth. The eyes are
Lowered and there is a tear drop
falling from the left one. Indeed so
remarkable is this painted tear drop
that people stand fascinated before
the picture, some of them declaring
1t is a real tear. The face shows
the Man In deep thought. The pic
ture Is In the gallery at Milan and
is by far the most striking of the
entire collection.
Andrea Solario, who is responsible
for the work, was a painter of Milan,
born in AGO. He studied in Venice
for a time and on his return to Milan
fell under the influence of Leonardo
ola Vinci and was sent by the latter
TO complete some of the formers work
for Cardinal d'Amboise. His work
was so like that of da Vinci, both in
drawing and coloring, that 1t is some
times difficult to tell it apart. Ecce
Homo, his masterpiece, was painted
in 1915, shortly before his death.

1t seems fitting that at Easter time
ones thoughts should turn to the art
galleries which contain the famous
paintings portraying the crucitixion
and resurrection of our Savior. Fol
generations most of them have hung
upon the walls of museums of Bu-
rope and have been an inspiration
not only to lovers of art, but to all
Christians as well who have studied
and admired the conception Of the
artist and the manner in which that
conception has been portrayed on the
canvas.
RUBENs.
One of the worlds most noted
paintings showing Christ on the Cross
is by Peter Paul Rubens. 1t has but
the one igure-the dying Christ,
hanging on the cross. The back
ground is dark, the sky being almost
black, which brings out more fully the
{ real beauty and richness Of the work.
The head of Christ has fallen against
the. right arm and a peaceful ex-
preston is on the face, showing that

has sagged and the muscles of the
arms are prominent. Blood trickles
from the nail holes in the hands and
feet, while that from the wound in the
side has dripped on the loin cloth,
which is draped in graceful fashion.
The figure is well drawn, being a
perfectly natural form of tall slen-
1nv !, ~ fhn orrn 90 ChrirN M +In
time of His crucifixion.
Rubens painted many pictures o.
the Christ, but this one is by far the
most striking and beautiful. He was
the chief master of the Flemish school
of painting, and was one of the most
versatile artists of all times. Be
ginning the study of art early in
life he worked under many famous
painters, particularly In Venice and
Rome. He was a man of scholarly
attachments, speaking six languages,
and was intimately acquainted with
nearly every ruler In Europe, the ma
jority of whom gave him commits
sions for pictures. He died at Ant
werp IN 1910.
n
Another great canvas showing
Christ on the Cross is the work of
Albrecht Durer, and like the one of
Rubens shows only the figure of the
Savior. The background is an almost
inky cloud with the fading sunset
sky nea one foot of the cross, and
a few trees standing In the fore
ground. The figure is stretched on
the cross and there Is no wound in
the side, the only blood showing be-
ing a few drops on the right hand.
The body has sagged slightly and
the loin cloth futters In the wind.
The crown of thorns is pressed down
on the head, the sweet sad face is ND

Speaking Of dogs, sporting man
who was at Corbett's camp in Carson
when Gentleman Jim was training for
Fitzsimmons tells the following story:
In the days before Jim fought Sui
livan he bought a collie for $40. He
named him Ned. He had him with him
when he trained for Sullivan; the dog
accompanied the master to New Or
leans and later appeared in the train
ing scene in Corbetts first theatrical

Corbett was training for Mitchell the
dog was in the quarters, and one night
when Mitchell heelers tried to enter
Corbett's room and MAIN him it was
Ned who gave the alarm. Ned loved
only one person in the world-Corbett.
"Corbett went to Europe after the
Mitchell fight and turned Ned over to
a man named Norton. While he was
training at Carson Harry Corbett
brought a beautiful collie up from
Frisco and Corbett took the animal to
Carson. When William A. Brady, Cor
belts manager. left New York to join
Corbett he decided Jim would be de-
lighted were he to take Ned out west.
This he did.

quarters there sat Corbett with the
