MOTHERS JYou set the standard of taste Jor the whole family 5 The Poening Star #n.collaboration with the NATIONAL COMMITTEE FOR ART APPRECIATION L] D e R T MADONNA TEMPI by RAPHAEL (1483- 1520) who painted more great Madonnas than o any other artist. “The painter of countless madonnas,” Browning called him. . . . Raphael was among those who humanized religious painting by using beautiful women and children of northern Italy as subjects for his Madonna and Child pictures. . . . Raphael painted no martyrdom, no Last Judgment, no Crucifixion. His men and women are either glorious with youth or dignified with old age. . .. His short 37 years was a crowded history of a man who achieved great success and fame in his own time, leaving a fortune of $150,000.

He saw not only texture, atmosphere and flesh but also the char- acter of his sitters. At the age of 23, he became Painter to the King of Spain, Philip IV; with a studio in the Palace, a residence in Madrid, this weakling King has left the stamp of his face and figure upon the ages. Velasquez, in his whole career, painted only one nude. It is the supremely beautiful Venus. CARAVAGGIO (1569-1609) “swashbuckler among painters,” could paint scenes as charm= ing as “The Gifl with the Lute” and then en~ ghge in a tavern brawl or a violent quarrel. This turbulence was often carried into his pice tures as well. He painted murders and tavern scenes, gypsies and vagabonds.... Often every= luted Raphaels, idealizing their subjects and reverting to mythology for inspiration, Cara- vaggio, bold naturalist, took the people with whom he rubbed shoulders for his subjects.... __—_______._—-——-—_—————__——' Set No. 1 “TORNADO, BAHAMAS" by Winslow Homer “MOTHER AND CHILD” by Mary Cassatt “LADY WITH A SETTER” by Thomas Eakins ’LASSOING HORSES” by Thomas Benton Now available to aiy owe upon payment of only 39¢ at the art counter in the business office of The Evening Star, .
