pean influence. During the Middle
Ages Sweden. as we'll as France. Ger
many and Flanders, was busy building
cathedrals and churches, but the pat
tern followed was largely her own,
plain, simple and very dignified War
as we'll as commerce has aided in the
spreading of esthetic ideals-strange
as it may seem. From wars with
leighboring nations on the Continent
of Europe SWedes brought back to
their own country knowledge of artis-
tic development and desire for further
achievement in this field.
During the reign of Gustav Vasa
some magnificent castles were built
in Sweden in the design of which for
eign features were accepted but mod
ified and simplified to accord with
Swedish tradition and custom. Later,
when Sweden. through conquest, be-
came leading power, it became Gus
tomary to send Swedish youths to
Dutch universities or for military
training under French generals from
which sources the stream of native art
was again strengthened and enlarged
French, Flemish and German crafts
men were made welcome in Sweden,
but to great extent once rooted in
Swedish soil their product took on the
native character.
Dr. Munthe designates as the richest
art period of Sweden that of the time
of King Gustav Sd, l77l-92, when in
spiration was drawn from classical
sources; which was, however. followed
by "the sober commonplaces of the
first half Of the eighteenth century,"
From then on the influences affecting
Swedish art were the same as those
felt by the art of America. as for ex-
ample those of the Dusseldorf school
and the modern schools of Paris, but
there was this difference-Sweden
because Of isolation and racial unity

will not be limited to the fine arts,
but will embrace the arts of the peo-
pie. which are most closely allied with
the character of the country wherein
they have found birth Sweden. like
every other nation, has borrowed from
others in the field of art but more
than the majority she has assimilated
what she learned from others and has
made it her own. More than any
other country today, her art is nation
alistic. rejecting trends in Swedish
life. showing the influence of environ
ment and physical conditions This
has been true since its earliest begin
nings. Tracing development from the
Bone Age through the ages which fol-
lowed to the present day, We glimpse
here and there certain similarities to
the arts of other peoples, widely re-
moved, but in the long run We are
aware of nationalistic motive which
makes itself felt and endures from first
ness to the silken cord on which all
great art is strung, whereas the diff
ferences give assurance of enduring
individualism.
Background and Development of
S1UediSh Art.
THE earliest Swedish art has its roots
in prehistoric obscurity. but in the
Bronze and Iron Ages esthetic feeling
is distinctly shown in the form of
weapons and articles of
utility. During the Viking period this
esthetic sensitiveness found expression
in ornamention as well as form. and by
the time Christianity reached Sweden,
in $50 AID. national consciousness had
been so developed by the works of
artisans that the way was open for a
Towering of the finer arts under Euro

VIRGINIA PORTRAITS PERPETUATE INFLUENCE OF CAVALIER
Hospitality of Old Homes
to Be Extended in Honor
of Historic Days.
By Dabney Cruikshank.

" HE cavalier influence, so ro-
mantle in the old days of Vir-
ginia, is perpetuated in the
L homes of this State, for on the
walls and over Colonial mantels of
ton are the swords and portraits of
those great Virginians who wrote and
fought for the laws Of this country.
Alexandria, small city with great
history. is proud to be geographically
so near the Nations Capital, but holds
aloof to her own sacred traditions; for
here Alexandrians have lived in the
same beautiful homes through days
of peace and war.
And soon these homes will extend
gracious hospitality to the stranger
within their gates, who will dream
back to that proud past of George
Washington and his followers. Those
persons taking the tour on May IA,
which is for the benefit Of Christ
Church and ST. Pauls Church, will
see the old, historic homes in which
many Of the present owners families
have lived for generations.
THROUGH an arch of knotted wis
taria is the approach to the lovely
Snowden home. In the drawing room
is portrait of the Misses Snowden's
great-grandfather, William Gregory,
who was born in Kilmarnock, Scot
land, in 1889, and came to Alexandria
at the age Of 18. His portrait, painted
in Scotland by Sir William Shaw,
shows him to have been a handsome
gentleman, with the sideburns so pop
ular during the period. and so becom-
ing to his Scotch features. He wears
black velvet coat with a white ruff.
His wife. Margaret Douglas Bartleman
OF Alexandria, was painted by an
unknown but certainly not an un-
skilled artist; the painting of her
beautiful hands is exquisitely done.
She wears crimson scarf around her
shoulders which points to the dark
beauty of her hair and eyes.
On the side Of the Snowden drawing
room hang a life-size painting of q
gay Spanish lady, beautiful and mys-
terious in red velvet, with Jewels in
elaborate settings of continental work
manship. She wears her bracelet high
on her arm. In the European fashion Of
a bygone day. So proud and naughty
is she that 1t is easy to believe she
was favorite at some far-away, for
gotten court. The beautiful lady has
kept her secrets well; all that is known
about her Is that her portrait was
brought from Europe about 1850.
Even the name of the artist is lost,
but down through the years her
charms have won for her many friends,
and all who have looked into her
dark, brooding eyes have wondered.

bilized by tradition. She has, what is
more, never ceased to practice and
support the artistic crafts. with the
result that in the present machine
age she has developed an industrial
art which has brought her interna-
tional fame. Our own glass industry
has been greatly influenced by the
glass manufactured, with the assist
ance of artists in Sweden; our porce-
lain figurines by the ceramic works of
Swedish art-artisans. But this is an
other story. The survey of Swedish
art which the forthcoming exhibition
will present ends with the year 1900
