Redficld. Both Meicher and Redfield have a robust style, are virile painters: therefore. their wor are in excellent accord. The fact th the majority of Melchers' are aintings and all of Mr. Redfield Pintscapes and seascapes gives to the ghawing varety and interest Included in the Melchers group is hic well known painting. he Smithy. lent by the Phillips Memorial Gallery 8 splendid piece of realistic painting. Another loan is his “Madonna of the Rappahannock,” owned by Judge John Barton Payne, which usually hanes in Judge Payne's office at the Red Cross. Here, too. is the portrait of Mrs. John W Garrett, which was in- cluded in one of the Corcoran Gal- Jery's recent biennials, and his well known painting of “McPherson and McDonald,” Scotcin pipers in their plaids. E: Of utmost importance in the collec- tion is an exceedingly large canvas yepresenting “The ILast Supper” & painting by Mr. Melchers which is well known through reproduction—a work reverently rendered but not deepl yeligious In feeling. There is & little that s reminiscent of L'Hermitte, a little which savors of the Salon picture of 2 éouble decade or more ago, a little that is illustrative rather than essen- tially artistic, and yet to many it makes strong appeal T:hn?&l_v and artistically brilliant. touching as high a note as this painter has ever touched, is his portrait of Mre Melcpers in this collection, a portrait painted with great vivre and extraordi- pary brilliancy; a portrait which com- | pares with Sargent’s best and with the | best of the great English school. From the standpoint of purely tech- | nical achievement the painting in this exhibition of a Y v 2 blue figured veil is extremeiy notable Not only is it fine in color. but most skillful in treatment—a tour de force. Mr. Melchers' versatility is evidenced by another canvas. “Mendin; lke- wise a portrait of Mrs. Melchers, though unnamed, ~She is scon in 2 Summer gownp seafed before an open window.

Note should be made of several still- life paintings, paintings of flowers, by Mr. Meichers which lend color and charm and which are painted with no less evident pieasure than the more imposing subjects. * s HE Redfield paintings are likewise vigorous and colort even the paintings of Winter in which Mr, Red- field has speclalized.
