BLACK, ALBERT A. SPRAGUE, MARTIN A. RYERSON, WILLIAM T . BAKER. THE ART INSTITUTE OF CHICAGO was incorporated May 24, 1879, for the purpose of maintaining a Museum and School of Art. The present building is built by the Art Institute and the World's Columbian Exposition jointly, at a cost of ~625,000, upon land granted by the city. At the end of the Fair the building will become the permanent and exclusive possession of· the Art Institute . During the Fair it is occupied by the World's Congresses. By the courtesy of the World's Congress Auxiliary, the Art Institute has been enabled to move the collections of the museum into the new building and to exhibit a considerable part of them. The present catalogue covers the paintings, sculptures, and other objects actually exhibited. It is not possible to arrange and classify the collection completely, and the catalogue is therefore no more tha·tt a· p·lain list of the works now exhib1ted. All friends of the Art Institute are'invited to become members. Annual Members pay a fee of ten dollars for the year. Governing Members pay ten dollars a year, and an initiation fee of one hun: dred dollars. All members are entitled, with their families and visiting friends, to admission to all exhibitions, receptions and pub- lic lectures and entertainments of the Institute, and to the use of the reference library upon art. THE ART SCHOOL of the Art Institute includes the departments of Drawing, Painting, Sculpture, Decorative Designing and Architecture. Last year the number of students was 929, and the number of teachers and lecturers about 40. The next school year begins Monday, October 2, 1893, and con- tinues until June 16, 1894. The tuition fee in all the departments is $25 for the term of twelve weeks, or $75 for the year, besides an entrance fee of $2. Circulars giving full information will be furnished by the guards, or at the desk in Room V, or upon application by mail to N. H. CARPENTER; Secretary, Art Institute, Chicago. The Collection of Reproductions of Old Italian Pictures, pub- lished by the Arundel S.ociety, the gift of Edward E. Ayer, is exhibited in Room XXVII.

  • Chronologically Lewis Joel D
    Chronologically Lewis Joel D. Heck All notes are done in the present tense of the verb for consistency. Start and end dates of term are those officially listed in the Oxford calendar. An email from Robin Darwall-Smith on 11/26/2008 explains the discrepancies between official term dates and the notes of C. S. Lewis in his diary and letters: “Term officially starts on a Thursday, but then 1st Week (out of 8) starts on the following Sunday (some might say Saturday, but it ought to be Sunday). The week in which the start of term falls is known now as „0th Week‟. I don‟t know how far back that name goes, but I‟d be surprised if it wasn‟t known in Lewis‟s day. The system at the start of term which I knew in the 1980s - and which I guess was there in Lewis‟s time too - was that the undergraduates had to be in residence by the Thursday of 0th Week; the Friday was set aside for start of term Collections (like the ones memorably described in Lewis‟s diary at Univ.!), and for meetings with one‟s tutors. Then after the weekend lectures and tutorials started in earnest on the Monday of 1st Week.” Email from Robin Darwall-Smith on 11/27/2008: “The two starts to the Oxford term actually have names. There‟s the start of term, in midweek, and then the start of „Full Term‟, on the Sunday - and is always Sunday. Lectures and tutorials start up on the following day.

INDEX OF PERSONS page 300 INDEX OF ARTISTS page 306 PREFACE HE first and only catalogue of the collection of medals formed by Gustave Dreyfus appeared in I93 I. Its author was Sir George Hill, who had studied the collection in depth when it was still T in Dreyfus' hands in the Boulevard Malesherbes in Paris. In a prefatory note, Hill observed that 'keenly as Gustave Dreyfus appreciated all his beautiful things, he had a particularly soft place in his heart for the Italian medals, and ... he would have agreed with the German critic who declared that the medallic art was par excellence the art of the Renaissance, the expression of the quintessence of the spirit of that age.' The preface continues with the tribute: 'His was perhaps the finest collection that has ever been in the hands of a private collector - the "perhaps" might be omitted, but that it is difficult to range the great collections in a true perspective.' Thanks to the Kress Foundation, the Dreyfus collection of medals was not dispersed, like so many other medallic collections, but is preserved intact in the National Gallery of Art in Washington, where it bears out Hill's claim to be regarded as the finest private collection of medals ever to have been formed.

  • Market Values in Eighteenth-Century Rome
    Market values in eighteenth-century Rome Review of: The Art Market in Rome in the Eighteenth Century: A Study in the Social History of Art, edited by Paolo Coen, Leiden and Boston: Brill, 2018 [Studies in the History of Collecting and Art Markets, vol. 5], xii + 234 pp., 80 colour illus., €116/$134 hdbk, ISBN 978-90-04-33699-5. Jeffrey Collins Anyone who doubts that a society’s art market reveals its underlying values need only consider the case of Inigo Philbrick, the high-flying young dealer who sold investors overlapping shares of the same blue-chip contemporary works and who was recently apprehended in Vanuatu. The present volume boasts no one quite so colourful, though it too concerns a moment in which the business side of art acquired new prominence. Based on an international congress held at Rome’s Palazzo Barberini, the anthology’s ten chapters consider diverse facets of art’s production, circulation, and recirculation in early modern Rome, unfortunately not all centred on the time and place announced in the title. This is a limitation in a study of art markets, which are typically localized and responsive to shifting conditions. While less focused than one would wish, the collection nonetheless illuminates a key phase in the market’s development while contextualizing our own age of glossy magazines, glamorous fairs, ‘specullectors’, and illicit trafficking of cultural property. Both symposium and anthology reflect the efforts of Paolo Coen, professor of the history of art at the Università degli Studi di Teramo, to bring to Rome something of the economic perspective long established in studies of the seventeenth-century Netherlands.

  • An Introduction to the History of the Wallace Collection
    Reprinted from the American Society of Arms Collectors Bulletin 50:2-21 Additional articles available at http://americansocietyofarmscollectors.org/resources/articles/ An Introduction to the History of the Wallace Collection D.A. Edge, B.A. Although the collection of objets d'art at Hertford House bears the name of Sir Richard Wallace, much of it, of course, was inherited from his father the 4th Marquis of Hertford (1). The 4th Marquis, in fact, can be said to have 'founded' the armoury in the Wallace Collection by purchasing a large quantity of oriental arms in the last decade of his life, from 1860 onwards. These were installed in his chateau at Baga- telle in Paris (2) where he lived until his death in 1870. In these acquisitions, the 4th Marquis was following the prevailing fashion for 'orientalism,' which was linked with the Romantic movement which swept through France (and, indeed, Europe) in the middle and later part of the 19th century. Wealthy and cultured men created oriental rooms or displays in their great houses, hanging the walls with By the very nature of its formation, such an armoury Eastern arms, armour, paintings and tapestries, to conjure would tend not to contain the earlier, plainer and (to our up the spirit and mystery of the East. As well as oriental modern eyes, perhaps) finer pieces. The Wallace Collection arms and armour, therefore, the 4th Marquis collected is fortunate, however, in possessing at least one early blade paintings of Eastern subjects (such as this by Vernet) (3), the quality of which is probably unrivalled anywhere in the and a vast and varied assortment of oriental bric-a-brac, world.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Colby Quarterly by an authorized editor of Digital Commons @ Colby. Cary.: James Stephens at Colby College 224 Colby Library Quarterly shadow and symbolize death: the ship sailing to the North Pole is the Vehicle of Death, and the captain of the ship is Death himself. Stephens here makes use of traditional motifs. for the purpose of creating a psychological study. These stories are no doubt an attempt at something quite distinct from what actually came to absorb his mind - Irish saga material. It may to my mind be regretted that he did not write more short stories of the same kind as the ones in Etched in Moonlight, the most poignant of which is "Hunger," a starvation story, the tragedy of which is intensified by the lucid, objective style. Unfortunately the scope of this article does not allow a treat­ ment of the rest of Stephens' work, which I hope to discuss in another essay. I have here dealt with some aspects of the two middle periods of his career, and tried to give significant glimpses of his life in Paris, and his .subsequent years in Dublin. In 1915 he left wartime Paris to return to a revolutionary Dub­ lin, and in 1925 he left an Ireland suffering from the after­ effects of the Civil War.
