MIR. Merrill. American consul
to Spain from 1921 to 1923, told
the gathering how the small but
inspiring collection came into
being.
Mrs. Merrill and I went to
Spain in 1921 and started buying
furniture for our home in Mad
rid" he explained. I'VE found
some of the small figures while
shopping for our furniture.
GAS time went on. whenever
we travelled, we bought items
that appealed to us. We didn't
have any idea of starting an art
collection. We first thought of it
as collection when the objects
were assembled as an exhibition
for the church house"
Mr.. Merrill, a former Navy
commander, pointed out that the
figures were chosen for the fine
human qualities their faces
showed.
There are thoughtful. and
sometimes sad, expressions but
no evil Ones" he observed.
The most popular item is a
wood carving of the Holy Family
attributed to Johann Peter Wae-
ner, famous 18th Century
sculptor.
Appropriately entitled. "The
Return From Egypt" the carving
shows the Child between st. Jo-
seph and the Virgin.
Two carvings that go with
the carving depict the flight to
Egypt. One is a 18th century
South German carving and the
other a 14th century Spanish
work, each showing the Virgin
carrying the Child while riding
a donkey.
Another popular item is a 18th
century wood figure of French
bishop
In sharp contrast t. these
older works is a 1852 bronze 12-
inch figure of st. Francis of AS
sisi, preaching to the birds.
