Furthermore, this picture makes subtle appeal to patriotic in- stinct. It is essentlally an American picture; it represents our great West and Western life, which it presents with frank simplicity and evident force. Carl Rungius was born in Berlin in August, 1869. e came to the United States in 1894, after having studied with Paul Meyerheim in his native city. He is a member of the National Academy of Design and last year won the Spever Memorial prize at the Na- tional Achmedy exhibition. He has made a speclalty of paintings of American hig game. Those who visited the Corcoran Gallery's biennial two vears ago will remember his painting, “The Elk.” Popular prizes are not always so wisely awarded. Certainly, it may be remarked that Mr. Rungius’ picture presents none of the soft prettiness nor the sentimental suggestion which most commonly are thought to make appeal to the general public. This biennial exhibition, which opened on April 4, will be concluded withdrawn, and it Is gratifying to see some of the old friends back in thefr places. No change has been made in the Ralph Cross Johnson and the Jiarriet Lane Johnston rooms, which were not displaced. The hallway or middle gallery has heen rehung with additional pictures lent by the Ralph Cross Johnson estate, and the little end gallery is filled with additional ifts from the Johnson collection, in process of execution since 1916. e < D e clafics \thvo, et 1u-|| wille eppeaito Keitpitiaiiess WAk ponp e “irhe (Calling -of Matthew.

However, these points of peril are not emphusized by the man htmself.

Ir this mold, it is found, are throw designed the entire scheme, and the mosaics and mural paintings alike were carried out by his associates from his carefully detailed drawings and Jlored cartoons. This accounts for the umity which the work as a whole Jisplays. The mosalcs over the altar were made in this country: the span drels are of mosaic made at Murano, the great mural paintings, done S ections because of their size, and_carefully joined, were pro duced in Mr. Aderente’s studio in New York he last of these represents Mat- thew as he sat at the receipt of cu toms and was o hrist to be- come one of the apostles. The figure of Christ occupies the center of the compesition. Subsidfary figures, full size, are to the right and the left Matthew is represented rising from his seat in evident surprise, but will ingness to acknowledge the call. The ace represented is the porch or por o of the temple. Doric fluted col 1nns are a notable feature of the pic ture. The obser is looking out from the temple - than toward it ouds break the horizontal lines, and zbove the clouds are angels—an elab. orate composition, but the figure of Christ dominates the whole. Vincent Aderente, who painted these ‘wo lunettes, was born in Naples, Ttaly, in 1880. Coming early to this country and developin talent for wrt, he served his apprenticeship, as it were, in the studios of Mr. Blashfield and Mr. Mowbray. Mere is an in stance in which a work has been done it was done in the days of the old masters, under the leadership and di- rection of a great artist, with the co- operation of his one-time pupil. Mr. Aderente is @ member of the Mural Painters’ Soctety and of the New York Architectural League. Among his Works are three Junettes in the United States Mint Building, Denver, Colo a panel in the courthouse at Youngs town, Ohio; a panel in the library at Youngstown, Ohio, and eleven panels the city hall at Yonker i With the exception of Trinity Church, Boston, and _the Church of the Ascension, New York, both deco yated by John La Farge, there is prob. ably no other chureh in this country hat is as elaborately and superbly decorated as is St. Matthew's Church here at the present time. * % ¥ x l)-' THIS connection mention should be made of the superb but little known decorations in the great assem- bly hall of the United States Chamber of Commerce in this city. This hall, &plendidly proportioned and beautifully designed. was decorated by Ezra Wi ter, at one time a feliow of the Ameri- can Academy in Rome, and is a superb piece of decorative work.
