PRIZE CONTRIBUTION

By Leroy Krider, Is,
Calvin Coolidge High School.
Twas Christmas Day, and to the
church
Came rich and mighty men:
They had one hope, that they
might hear
The chimes to ring again.
Exalted lords from every land and
leading them the king
Each brought gift in hopes that
he might cause the chimes to
ring.
Each noble offered up his gift;
The king his royal crown:
The crowd was hushed and strained
to hear,
But there returned no sound.
Then quite unnoticed, somewhat
shy,
A poor child gave mite.
And softly from the steeple tor
Came sweet chimes, clear and loud
The chimes pealed forth in glorious
song;
The lad had paid the price.
For God in all his heavenly love
Rewards a sacrifice.

Christmas turns our thoughts to
the beautiful story of the birth of
Christ. The nativity of our Savior
has been interpreted by artists since
early centuries of the Christian era:
Sculptured on sarcophagi and paint
ed, too. in some medium, in the
earliest years. But the best loved
paintings of the sacred theme are
those of the Renaissance in Italy
and Western Europe.
Washington art galleries have
superb paintings by old masters, of
the Madonna and Child: Alone or
with satins and angels and donors.
The Nativity" by Bernardino Luini
in the National Gallery of Art has
been selected for reproduction here,
because it is beautiful work, be-
cause it has not been published as
often as other, more famous paint
ings, and finally because the artist
confined himself to the events of
December Is. c'The Alteration of
the Magi," often painted, is sup
posed to have taken place about 13
days after the nativity
Luini has treated the nativity
partly as a mystery, partly as an
historic event. The strong, clear
colors of the original carry out the
canons of the church, which speci-
fed that the Madonna be clothed
in a blue robe, denoting heavenly
truth, and a red tunic. symbolizing
heavenly love. The Holy Infant,
protected by white cloth, is sitting
up IN the manger, supported by St
Joseph. The OK and the ass, indis-
pensable figures in representations
of the nativity, are here depicted as
staring into the manger. partici-
pating in the worship of the Child
An ancient Latin hymn has de-
scribed these animals as warming
the newborn Infant with their
breath. Furthermore. they were
regarded as 6. ,bols: The OK, of the
Jews; the ass, of the gentiles.
The announcement to the shep-
herds and their alteration of the
Child are treated simultaneously in
this painting. We see through the
opening above the heads of the
Holy Family, the angel Gabriel ap-
pearing in a burst of radiance to
two shepherds A third, carrying a
lamb as an offering, is approaching
the Infant.
Luini was Milanese painter who
lived during the last quarter of the
18th and first quarter of the 18th
century. He was strongly influenced
by Leonardo da Vinci, as we see in
such details as the Madonna's face
Luini lacked Da Vinci's force and
strength, but he did have feeling
for beauty and spirituality. His
Nativity" in our National Gallery
of Art has appealing serenity and
tenderness.

The present miniature annual is
also interesting for its larger pro-
portion of modern trends. A group
of miniatures by Frances Campbell

compared with portraits hung neaI

has endeavored to convey single

perfection of detail.
