At a public meeting, held on the 23rd day of November, 1869, a Provisional Committee of Fifty cultured and public-spirited citizens were appointed to organize the Association. On the 31st day of January, 1870, at a meeting of this Com- mittee, the Officers and Trustees were elected, consisting of a President (John Taylor Johnston), two Vice-Presidents, a Treas- urer, Secretary and twenty-one Trustees. On the 13th day of April, 1870, a Charter was granted by the Legislature of the State of New York, and at a meeting of the Trustees, held on April 27th, 1870, a Constitution was adopted. Soon after, negotiations were entered into which consummated in the purchase of a collection of pictures, consisting chiefly of specimens of the Dutch and Flemish Schools, but containing also important works of Italian, French, Spanish and English masters. It became necessary to make immediate preparation for the custody and exhibition of these paintings. The Trustees took accordingly a lease for two years from May, 1871, of the building known as No. 681 Fifth Avenue, which, although too small for their purpose, was the most available habitation they could find. In 1872, The Metropolitan Museum of Art was removed from its temporary quarters at 681 Fifth Avenue to 128 West Fourteenth Street. This large, double house, known as the Cruger Mansion, was leased for a number of years by the Trustees. The greenhouses and conservatories were fitted up for the exhibition of sculptures, and in one of its courtyards the Trustees built a picture-gallery. This gallery, lighted from the roof, had five times as much wall space as the old quarters on Fifth Avenue, and enabled the Trus- tees to extend the interest of the Museum by loan exhibitions of paintings, and the display of the Cesnola Collection of antiquities from Cyprus, a portion of which had already arrived in this coun- try. The Museum remained in this building until the last days of 1879, and was daily open to the public from 10 o'clock a.m. until 6 o'clock p.m. On the 5th of April, 1871, the State Legislature, at the request of the Municipal Authorities of this City, passed an act appropriat- ing the sum of 8500,000, with which to erect a building in the Cen- V " tral Park, for the purpose of establishing and maintaining therein a Museum and Gallery of Art." On April 22d, 1876, the Legislature authorized and directed the Department of Public Parks to make and enter into a contract with The Metropolitan Museum of Art, for the occupation by it of the building which was then being erected, and such other additions as may be made to it from time to time. On the 24th day of December, 1878, the Park Department exe- cuted a written agreement with The Metropolitan Museum of Art, by virtue of which the Trustees took possession of the building in finished and the 1879 Central Park, which was then ; during year all the collections of the Museum were removed from the building on Fourteenth Street and transferred to their new home in Cen- tral Park. Up to this date the Museum was managed, audits work done, by different Committees of Trustees; but it now became evi- dent that the daily work had grown far beyond the possibility of being managed through the personal supervision of committees, and in 1879, General Louis Palma di Cesnola, who was then Secretary of the Board, was chosen Director and placed in charge of the Mu- seum, in which capacity he remained until his death (November 20th, 1904). The new building in Central Park was formally inaugurated by President Hayes, on March 30th, 1880. The first exhibition of the Catharine Lorillard Wolfe Collection took place in one of the old Eastern galleries. Soon after it was found necessary to add two wings: the South and the North. The first was inaugurated December 18th, 1888; the second, November 4th, 1894; in both cases with appropriate ceremonies. Plans were then formed by President Henry G. Marquand, General di Cesnola, and the Board of Trustees, and designs made by the architect, Richard M. Hunt, for the creation of a new building which would more appropriately house the art treasures confided to their care, and the City jDromptly made the necessary appropria- tion of one million two hundred thousand dollars for immediate use in the furtherance of the project. On December 22d, 1902, the center portion of the east front of this new building was completed and formally placed in the hands of the Trustees by the Mayor, the Hon. Seth Tjow, and the doors were then opened to the public. In 1904 the City made another appropriation of one million two hun- dred and fifty thousand dollars for extending the new building down Fifth Avenue about three hundred and fifty feet, the working plans vi for wliicli are now being perfected by the architects, McKim, Mead & White, and the construction will be commenced at as early a date as is practicable. The building is of light gray stone, classical in design, and will, when completed, form a hollow square with the old structures enclosed in a grand court. The estimate of the total cost is twenty- two million dollars. The chair of the President, made vacant by the death of Mr. Henry G. Marquand on February 26th, 1902, was filled by Mr. F. W. Rhinelander, who died September 24th, 1904. And on Novem- ber 21st, 1904, Mr. J. Pierpont Morgan was unanimously elected President of the Museum. The Board of Trustees have absolute control of all the funds donated and bequeathed to the Institution for its enrichment, and such other funds as are or may be appropriated by the City for its maintenance. ^t» *^ *t^ 4f *^ *tg * ^f* "^ *^ ^i •^ ^* This hand-book embraces all the pictures which are contained in the galleries, staircases, and the Grand Hall, except the Vanderbilt Loan. Of the pictures herein catalogued, some are lent, a large number have been purchased by the Trustees, and the others have been acquired either by gift or bequest. The larger portion of them are accompanied by conditions which render impossible a proper classification of the pictures in the galleries of the Museum, and, while the Trustees fully recognize the logical, historical and aesthetic reasons for such a classification of their exhibits, they do not think it of greater moment (at least for the present) than their acquisition. Miss Catharine Lorillard Wolfe bequeathed in 1887 her entire collection of oil paintings and water-color drawings to the Museum, accompanied by an endowment of $200,000. The income of this fund to be used for the preservation and increase of the collection, which by the terms of the will must be kept together or be forfeited to the legal heirs of the donor. Other donations and bequests of great value, both in objects of art and money, have from time to time augmented the wealth and the treasures of the Museum: the first being the munificent gift of Mr. Henry G. Marquand, embracing 53 oil paintings by Old Masters, and pictures of the English School; the last, in impor- tance, that of Mr. Jacob S. Rogers, who at his death (July, 1901) bequeathed to the Institution his whole fortune, amounting to several millions of dollars. Vll ^' The Horse Fair/' by Rosa Bonheur, was given by Mr. Cornelius Vanderbilt; then followed the gifts of Judge Henry Hilton, "Friedland, 1807/' by Meissonier, and the "Defense of Champigny," by Detaille. Mr. George I. Seney also gave twenty oil paintings, containing valuable examples of the Mod- ern Dutch and American schools. The Museum contains examples of nearly all the leading and world-famed schools of paintings, from Jan Van Eyck (1390-1440) to the latest and most interesting of the modern painters. In Gallery No. 11 may be seen the first acquisition of the Museum by purchase, in 1871, a collection of pictures comprised of works by the early Dutch and Flemish painters.

    Ilustración 1 Vista de Sevilla, atribuído a Claudio Sánchez Coello (Museo del Prado, Madrid). SEVILLA COMO ESPACIO DRAMÁTICO EN LA COMEDIA DEL SIGLO DE ORO DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Judith García-Quismondo García, M.A. ***** The Ohio State University 2005 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Donald R. Larson, Adviser Professor Vicente Cantarino _______________________ Professor Salvador García Adviser Professor Donald M. Terndrup Spanish & Portuguese Graduate Program ABSTRACT When discussing the typical Spanish commedia—especially the palatine or urban one dealing with duels, swords, and cloaks to conceal identities, and focused mainly on the interaction of citizens with the Baroque buildings of an urban surrounding (palaces, particular houses, gardens, churches)—Madrid, as the capital of the Spanish Empire, always stands out. Countless studies about the interplay between the city and the private spheres of its citizens have been written and discussed, all of them centered on the city of Madrid. As far as Sevilla is concerned, only Héctor Brioso Santos has examined the city in depth during the Golden Age period, centering his approach on narrative fiction and considering the city as a locus for turmoil. My study, however, is focused on the public sphere of Seville in the Spanish Golden Age, and its cultural representation in the existing dramatic corpus. Through literary, social and urbanistic depictions I confront the portrayal of Seville as a magnificent and thriving commercial emporium within the pages of the Spanish comedia, in contrast to the portrait of crime and vice permeating the Golden Age narrative.

Creo muy conveniente para el arte reunir en el Mu­ seo cuadros de los profesores de nuestra provincia des­ de Pedro de Córdoba hasta D. Diego Monroy.

Popular Spanish Sayings. ^tt^^^^ The Story of Scvillc by U^alter 34. Gallichan With Three Chapters on the <t/trtists of Seville by C. Gasquoine Hartley Illustrated by Elizabeth Hartley London: J. M. Dent & Co, Aldine House, 29 and 30 Bedford Street Covent Garden, fV,C. ^ 1903 All Rights Reserved PREFACE N the story of Seville I have endeavoured to interest the reader in the associations of the buildings and the thoroughfares of the city. I do not claim to have written a full history of Seville, though I have sketched the salient events in its annals in the opening chapters of this book. The history of Seville is the history of Spain, and if I have omitted many matters of historical importance from my pages, it is because I wished to focus atten- tion upon the city itself. I trust that I have succeeded in awaking here and there an echo of the past, and in bringing before the imagination the figures of Moorish potentate or sage, and of Spanish ruler, artist, priest and soldier. Those who are acquainted with the history of Spain will appreciate the difficulty that besets the historian in the matter of chronological accuracy, and even in a narration of many of the main events. The chronicles of the Roman, Gothic and Moorish epochs are hardly accepted as reliable. Patriotic bias and religious enthusiasm are elements that frequently mislead in of the is not [the making history, though Spaniard in the of error in this [alone commission respect.

OF WHICH THIS IS NUMBER A HISTORY OF PAINTING BY HALDANE MAGFALL WITH A PREFACE BY FRANK BRANGWYN IN EIGHT VOLUMES. ILLUSTRATED WITH TWO HUNDRED PLATES IN COLOUR VOL. Ill LATER ITALIANS AND GENIUS OF SPAIN DANA ESTES AND CO. BOSTON Art Library 5o FOREWORD To the student who desires full information upon the significance of the Italian genius in painting after the great outburst of that genius in the Renaissance, in the years of the so-called Decline, I can findfew books to recommend in the English tongue—for the greatness of the Naturalisti has not yet been discovered, whilst the old vogue of the Eclectics was exaggerated as much in laudation as it is to-day condemned by contempt. But the great Spaniards have come into their own—or are coming. The best authorities on the scientific side concerning Velazquez and Spanish art generally are Beruete and Carl Justi, and they may be read in an English translation. An excellent survey of the Spanish achievement, setforth in fairly good balance, is the volume written by Mrs. Gasquoine Hartley, entitled " A Record of Spanish Painting." The writings of R. A. M. Stevenson, Sir William Stirling-Maxwell, Arthur Symons, W. Rothenstein, and the many brilliant students, English and foreign, who have done so much to set the bays on the heads of the great Spaniards, are helpful.
