An Austrian by birth and training, Mr. Konti adopted the United States as his native land in 1892. He has had much success here, being elected an Associate of the National Academy in 1901 and a National Academician in 1905. Among his works are the doors of Grace Church, New York, groups for the Bureau of American Republics Building, Washington, D. C., and medals in the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Madonna in the Scripps Collection. Of this painting Mr. Berenson says: "We can scarcely hope at this late day to acquire for America anything like the great altarpieces which reveal Cima at his completest; but short of such masterpieces, he is already well represented in our collections, and happily with works of varying style, earliest as well as latest. The earliest painting by Cima that I have come across is a Madonna, in the Gallery at Detroit. The Virgin, a compact figure like a well-composed bust on a pedestal, is seen between a curtain and a parapet on which sits the Holy Child. He tries to attract her attention by touching her hands, folded in prayer. His halo is unique and singular, for it is made up of twigs. In the background appears a cliff of horizontal masses of rock. On the parapet we read in broad, square Roman capitals, 'Joannes Bta Con-

The Gallery Talks by Mr. Raymond Wyer during the week of January 15th were most successful. Eighteen study clubs, groups of teachers, and classes visited the Museum to learn more about the permanent collections under his guidance and from a standpoint of this far reaching interest alone they were worth while. Mr. Wyer spoke nineteen times during the week and some of his auditors were so engrossed in his messages that they returned several times to attend further lectures. The speaker did not deal with the superficial qualities of the individual painting, but provided his audience with a background for the appreciation of all pictures. His aim to disclose to his listeners the fundamental principles applicable to all art and by which any period might be measured was most commendable. He has little sympathy with gallery talks which aim merely to entertain, yet while he is uncompromising on this point, he dealt so much with universal truths and approached his subject so clearly he never failed to interest his audiences. Informal lectures such as those given by Mr. Wyer, using objects in the collection as illustrations, probably do more to inculcate appreciation of art than any means yet devised. There is zest and relish too, in bringing a speaker from outside whose vision is not dulled by e very-day familiarity.

The Detroit Museum of Art has received word from the French Government that its request for the Luxembourg Collection had been granted, and that this retrospective exhibition of paintings and sculpture by French artists from 1870 to 1910, which was originally sent to America as part of the French section of the PanamaPacific International Exposition will be available for the Detroit Museum of Art during the month of March. It will be a satisfaction to those who saw the contemporary French Exhibition at the Museum in October to compare the work of the French artists of the present on the "qui vive" for new sensations, with the work of their predecessors of the past few decades. The Luxembourg Museum pins the official badge of recoginition upon the artist of today, and taking his work into its custody, preserves it until the perspective of time shall grant it its proper place among artistic achievements. The restive period from 1870 to 1910 in French art has seen many new tendencies struggling for supremacy. For this reason the group of pictures sent out by the French Government to exemplify the various manifestations will appear heterogeneous. Typical examples of the academic, the romantic, the realistic and the impressionistic movements are hung side by side in the same gallery. But if each individual canvas is studied, one may glean something of the evolution which French painting has undergone in four decades. As varied as it may seem, one may discern fundamental truths which justify the paternal protection of the Luxembourg Gallery. Among the artists represented are JeanJoseph Benjamin Constant, Leon Bonnat, Pascal Adolphe Marie De Neuville, Alexandre Cabanel, Emil-Auguste CarolusDuran, Henri Ilarpignies, JeanJacques Henner, Jean-Paul Laurens, Gustave Moreau, Pierre-Cecile Puvis De Chavannes, Alfred Phillippe Roll, Felix-Francois-GeorgesPhilibert Ziem, Eugene Carriere, Edgard Hilaire Germain Degas, Ignace Henri Jean-Theodore Fan-
