Venetian painter living between
1880 and 1923. He was born near
Bergamo, and was q student Of
Giovanni Bellini, as one might
readily surmise by comparing our
two examples, though they are
different in subject. The Ma

liarly harmonious composition.

Madonnas in Venice, and scattered
among other galleries throughout
Europe, would have no hesitation
In naming its author.
The very models from whom he
painted the renowned works in the
Academy of Venice may have
posed for the Blessed Virgin and
the infant Savior here. Babies
grow up so fast that one marvels
that Bellint could have produced
as many as three or four, even,
from these same models, but Flam-
beau has himself seen them in a
number of different galleries, and
always with so similar a character,
though different In pose, that they
must be the same.

resents q much higher valua-
ton, when one considers the mon
etary difference in our favor due
to the falling off OF the italian
lire or franc, from a nominal 30
cents before the war to little
more than cents today.
At the same time, rare can
vases, since they represent q lux
ury and not necessity, like
bread, incline just now to drop
in price. so that the Duveens,
who purchased their new collec-
ton Of fifteen italian Old Mas
tiers from the estate Of William
Solomon. international banker and
art collector, have undoubtedly
taken advantage of the market,
and have now brought their pic
lures to New York in order to
offer them again to American
art collectors.
There have been In America
many famous groups OF European
masters. such as the remarkable
Morgan gift Of Rembrandts to
the Metropolitan in New York,
Mrs. John Lowell Gardner's col
lection in Boston, Henry Hunt
ington's purchase Of Gainesbo-
rough's Blue Boy" and other
British celebrities for his Los
Angeles palace.
AMERICAS ART RICHES.
The Widener collection. in Phil
adelphia. 1t was even hoped, might
be favorably considered as
gift to the nation, and come
to our National Gallery in Wash
ington. In Baltimore. the Wal
tiers Gallery is rich in the early
primitives, besides its excellent
representation of British, French
and other schools, while our Cor
coran Gallery in Washington has
specialized in the French, though
nearly all the recent schools are
included, its chief asset being
American painters.
Our own National Gallery IL
richer than most Of us realize,
for it has seven or eight impor-
tant, original Madonnas Of great
beauty, the chief being the "Ma-
donna and Child" by Bernardino
Luini, a pupil of Leonardo, and
ranked by Ruskin above his mas
ter. This picture came to US with
the Harriet Lane Johnston col
lection, which was the nucleus
Of the National Gallery's paint
ings.
Ralph Cross Johnson, OF Wash
ington, has made the nation
richer by his grand collection,
which has no fewer than five
fine Madonna pictures, BoIognese,
Flemish and others. And there
are also several loan Madonna
subjects, the Raphael belonging
to Thomas O'Sullivan being of
especial interest, since consid-
cradle research has been devot-
ed to 1t.
BELLINI FOREMOST.
A little visit to our own gal
lery will amply repay the time
1t costs, though we spend the
hour merely in looking at the
Madonnas. studying the richness
Of coloring. the harmony of COM
position, the sublime inspiration
OF subject and the artists name
and dates. Then we may look
again at the reprints Of Sir Jo-
seph's masterpieces, confident that
we appreciate them better for
our preparatory review.
Giovanni Bellini. the great Ven
etian painter, younger son of
Jacopo Bellini. may be named
as first and foremost OF Duveen
brothers' new collection. He was
born. we know, about 1880, and
died about 1916. he and his father

In that very year when Column
