PHILADELPHIA, Dec. s.-A paint
ing, estimated to be worth $500 900,
has just been discovered here by a
al whose lifelong work it has been
to restore old warks of art.
The canvas, believed to have been
done by the Italian master, Paolo
Neronese, a contemporary Of Titan,
$50 years ago, was uncovered from
the many layers Of pigment that
have accumulated on 1t during the
years.
It Is the fourth veroness In the
United States. OF the other three,
two are in the Metropolitan museum
in New York, and the third in New
Orleans.
Discovered by Farina
Prof. Pasquale Farina, an artist
and an expert Of old masters. made
the discovery.
Twenty-six years ago, Prof. Farina
came over from his native Italy,
where he had been professor Of por-
trait painting in the Art School Of
Naples.
II was called to America" Prof.
Farina said. ito do some restoring
Of old pictures for the Italian en-
bassy in Washington.
"For fourteen years | took care Of
the Johnston collection here, and re-
stored many old paintings which
otherwise might have remained for
ever lost to the public.
"In my examination Of the vari-
Of old paintings, | found that one

try and every school, If the painting
is really an original IL il is not
an original, my preparation does not

Figures Almost O~bIiterated
Prof. Farina received this Veronese

picture could be guessed only very

for a month. he has been unearthing

my years in America" Prof Farina
continued. MANY Of them have

tremendous thrill Of excitement.
1T seems to have been rcpainted
80 times and the original colors that

and rs fresh as they were more than
three centuries ago.
Hidden for Years
This Neronese must have been
brought over BY n soldier during the
Napoleonic wars. and probably has
been somewhere in the country ever
since. Dealers thought IL an old
piece. but no one knew its great
value.
"A curious thing about my bust

atcly hidden. Recently, i found that
