Italian Paintings At
Yale Finest In i. S.
Sculptures, Tapestries Also Bequeathed to Gallery By
Late Maitland F. Griggs to Be Exhibited

New Haven, Conn, December 30.
- With the addition of the Italian
pointings, sculptures and tapestries
bequeathed to Yale by the late
Maitland F. Griggs Of the Glass OF
1896, the Yale Art Gallery now con-
tains the finest teaching collection
of Italian painters of the 14th and
18th centuries in this country. The
Griggs bequest paintings are now
hung with the Jarves Collection
which was acquired in 1871, and will
be on public exhibition through the
month of January.
Mr.. Griggs showed his interest in
the Yale Gallery by frequent gifts
throughout his lifetime, and the
works now added are part of his
private collection and were hung in
his house at the time of his DEATH
with the acquisition of the
Jarves Collection in 1871 Yale be-
came leader IN this country in the
field of early Italian art" an Off
cial of the Gallery said today. THE
addition Of the Griggs paintings re-
inforces this collection, fills numer-
GUS gaps, and suggests compre-
hensive idea of the workshop prod
uct of Florence and Siena in the
period of transition from Middle
Ages to Renaissance. A number
of the paintings are distinguished in
their own right, but the Importance
of the collection lies in its power
to reveal the persistence of tradi-
ton in the average Worship, the
generally good level to which this
tradition raised the workman, and
the occasional glimpses of delightful
and original inspiration in the hands
Of some apprentice or shop assist
ant whose name is lost.
1.-The attributions include such
followers of Giotto as Taddeo Gaddi,
Bernado Da6di and Oreagna,
already represented in the Jarves
Collection, and followers of Botticelli
and of Ghirlandajo. An outstand-
ing work is the st John the Evan
gelist attributed to Simone Martini,
one of the leaders of the Sienese
School in the 14th Century. Luca
di TONNE and Taddeo di Bartolo
are other important Sienese repre-
sented."
AS is inevitable of material which
has become available in foreign
markets in the last so years, many
OF the paintings are fragments OF
large altarpieces, knocked apart by

Clare BOOthe'S postwar world has

it intends Hong Kong to be British

ditto.
The entire war-aims debate has
taken turn for the worse. 1t is
