Introductory Note.

Over a year ago the Council discussed the desira-
bility of holding, during the summer of 1893, an
exhibition that would fairly represent the class of
art objects owned by private collectors in this city,
and early last winter the project took shape in the
hands of a few gentlemen who met at the Century
Club and after a number of conferences appointed
a small committee for action, consisting of Messrs.
Samuel P. Avery, Jas. A. Garland, Thomas B.
Clarke, and the Secretary of the Academy. These
gentlemen at once took the matter in charge, and,
with the cordial assistance of members of the General
Committee, whose names appear on the preceding
page, have secured a most valuable and interesting
collection.

It has been the aim of those in charge to show a
moderate number of carefully selected objects prop-
erly displayed, rather than a more extensive exhi-
bition of those more commonly shown.

Should any profits arise, they will be given to the
Academy for much needed improvements in its
schools and other departments.

Works have been loaned by the following persons:

WM. LORING ANDREWS,
SAMUEL P. AVERY,
PERRY BELMONT,
AUGUST BELMONT,
OLIVER H. P. BELMONT,
MRS. WM. T. BLODGETT,

Permanent Fund.

The Permanent Fund is devoted to the purchase
and improvement of real estate used by the Academy,
and for no other purpose, except that any income
from the Fund may be used for current expenses.

It is in charge of trustees chosen by donors to the
fund, with the President, Secretary, and Treasurer as
ex-officio trustees.

A contribution of twenty-five thousand dollars
constitutes the donor a trustee for life, with twenty-
five admissions to every exhibition, and five cards to
each reception given by the Academy. Also three
free scholarships to the Art Schools.

A contributor of one thousand dollars receives
ten admissions to every exhibition, and two cards to
each reception, and one free scholarship.

A contributor of five thousand dollars receives
the same privileges, with the right to transmit them
to a legal heir in perpetuity.

The Belmont Collection.

The collection of paintings made by the late Hon.
August Belmont has been known for many years
throughout the art world as one of the most famous
in this country, but has been seen by but few out-
side the owner's personal acquaintances, as he never
loaned his pictures for promiscuous exhibition,
although he several times opened his gallery for
the benefit of certain charities. Once before the
National Academy of Design has benefited by this
liberality, in 1876, when it held a loan exhibition in
connection with the Metropolitan Museum of Art
(then in Fourteenth Street), for the assistance of
both institutions ; and now the sons, Hon. Perry
Belmont, Mr. August Belmont, and Mr. O. H. P.
Belmont, have generously placed the collection in
charge of the Academy, where there will be the only
opportunity for the public to see it in its entirety
previous to its division.

Mr. Belmont was one of the earliest collectors of
fine paintings in this city, and while he was United
States Minister at The Hague he secured many
fine examples of artists then in vogue but now
rarely seen, and his collecting (as well as weeding
out) continued nearly to the close of his life. This
has resulted in bringing together a class of works of
such solid merit that they will be always interesting,
even without the latest fashionable (and possibly
ephemeral) fads in art.

when Michel lived (1763 to 1843) it was a wild and unfrequented
spot, and before his time none of the artists regarded it with any
favor, but Michel found in it a mine of picturesqueness. After him

STUART (Gilbert).

Born in Narragansett, R. I., December 3, 1755. After some
unaided efforts, he received instruction from Cosmo Alexander,
whom he accompanied to Scotland in 1772, The death of his master
left him to shift for himself, and after struggling awhile at the Uni-
versity of Glasgow, he returned home. In 1775 he went to England
and found a friend and master in Benjamin West, who employed
him as an assistant. In 1785 he opened a studio of his own with
great success. In 1792 he returned to America. After working two
years in New York, Philadelphia, and Washington, Stuart settled in
Boston, where he resided until his death, July 27, T828. His por-
traits show great insight into character, and are remarkable for their
simplicity of means. Among the best are those of Washington, of
whom Stuart was the painter par excellence.

130. Portrait of James Heath, A.E.

English line engraver. Born 1757 ; died 1834. [He engraved
and published (1800) the engraving of Stuart's full length of Wash-
ington painted for the Marquis of Lansdowne.] Painted at London
about 1789.

Lent by Mr. Samuel P. Avery.

131. Portrait of Washington. (Known

as the Gibbs-Channing portrait.)

Painted in 1795. This is the representative picture of Washing-
ton's first sitting to Stuart in September, 1795. This originated the
first type of the Washington painting by Stuart showing the right
side of the face — three other pictures only belong to this type, — and
is different from the much-copied portrait known as the " Athenseum "
one (now in the Boston Museum of Fine Arts), the result of the second
sitting in 1796. That, as is well known, shows the left side of the
face ; and the chief criticism passed upon it has always been the
constraint about the mouth, due to ill-fitting dental plates. Unlike
the Athenseum portrait, this is complete as to the body and back-
ground. The Gibbs Washington was sold by Stuart at an early date
to his warm personal friend. Colonel George Gibbs, then of New
York, with the statement that it was on the easel while Washington
was sitting and worked upon from life. At a later period it was
transferred to his sister, the wife of the Rev. William Ellery Chan-
ning, and from her it descended to her son. Dr. William F. Channing ;
thus the picture had never been out of the possession of the Gibbs-

IWortb Gallery 33

Channing family until Dr. Channing sold it to the present owner in
1889. George C. Mason, in his Life and Works of Stuart, says that
" the finest beyond all comparison of the Stuart portraits of the first
type is the Gibbs Washington." The venerable A. B. Durand, when
shown a photograph from -it, said : " That is a likeness ; it is much
superior in character to the AthenDeum portrait, and should be con-
sidered the standard ; the artist and the subject would gain by it."
It has been engraved by C. Burt for Mason's Life, also for Miss E.
F). Johnston's Portraits of Washington, and in Harper's Magazine
for April, 1889.

CABINET K.

A collection of books, bound in silver and silver-
gilt covers, repousee, chased, or engraved. Executed
by French, German, and Italian artists of the seven-
teenth and eighteenth centuries. The books are
mainly of a devotional character, and printed in the
German and French languages. Books so bound
were prized as heir-looms, and often the covers
served for different contents, as abuse or caprice
dictated ; often destroyed for the value of the metal.
Such examples have become exceedingly rare. The
obverse sides are generally of a different design from
that of the front.

CASE L.

CLOISONNE AND OTHER ENAMELS.

It has been thought that the word " enamel " was
originally derived from the Hebrew expression of
** Haschmal," used by the prophet Ezekiel, but
perhaps he meant thereby to designate a metal.
The low Latins write it " smaltum," the Italians
" smalto," the Germans "smeltzen," and the French
" email," which is the same as the English " enamel."
This is all that even the most learned in such matters
have yet been able to discover on the subject. What
workman was the first to use enamel ? and in what
century did he live ? The answers to these questions
are scarcely better ascertained.

Enamel is actually glass more or less colored with
metallic oxides, either opaque or transparent, which,
after a considerable amount of baking, absolutely
adheres to the metallic plate, be it copper, iron, or
glass on which it is placed.

But as there is a vast difference in its various
applications, they have been classed into sections,
namely, " cloisonne and champleve enamels " ; in
cloisonne, or walled enamels, the designs are made
by soldering edgewise upon a metal surface movable

46 IRational BcaDemi^ of Design

cloisonrxcs or partitions, and so projecting as to form
a multitude of cells in which the enamel pastes of
various colors are placed, and, after being vitrified
by repeated firings, are finally ground and polished
to a smooth surface. In champleve, or encrusted
enamels, the metal base required to form the design
is hollowed out, leaving the divisions in relief, and
the pastes are filled in these divisions.

Translucent enamels are those in which the de-
signs are engraved upon metal grounds, and after-
wards covered with transparent enamel, through
which the patterns may be seen. In painted enamels,
the enamel is spread over the surface, and treated in
the same way as porcelain or glass, the designs being
painted in enamel colors with a brush at the whim
and fancy of the artist.

Everything goes to prove that the cloisonne
enamels are the oldest, and that they are of Ori-
ental origin. The Champleve embossed enamels
are only a new development of the same, introduced
into Europe in the eleventh century. The art of
enamelling upon copper is of great antiquity ; the
earliest specimens existing are those which have
been found with the mummies in Egypt. The
Greeks and Etruscans were cognizant of enamel,
even of that which was termed painter's enamel.
The art was undoubtedly practised in China in very
early times, and introduced into Europe in the mid-
dle ages no doubt by the desire to imitate pieces of
cloisonne and other enamels which were imported
from Persia, India, or China.

In Case L these facinating branches of enamel art
have a superb representation. The exhibit is com-
posed mostly of Chinese cloisonne, dating from

'Mcst (3aUers 47

perhaps the middle of the fifteenth century, to the
Kien-long period, 1736 to 1795. The few pieces of
Champleve are Chinese and probably of the seven-
teenth century.

CASE M

is filled with fine old Chinese Cloisonne enamels, the
property of George A. Baker, Esq. The objects
shown in this case are from the famous Maignac
sale, London, 1892.

CASES N AND O

contain distinguished examples of Chinese and
Japanese metal-work. Iron and bronze are the
metals used, and wonderful art objects have been
produced. Large bronze incense burners and orna-
ments have been placed in the corridor for decora-
tion. Descriptive cards will be found in the cabinets.

GREEK VASES.

It is not only the archaeological student to-day
who is interested in these subjects, for the recent
development in art taste has led to the gathering of
beautiful antiquities for household embellishment
by many amateurs throughout this country. An-
cient Greek vases of noble form and handsome
decoration possess attractions because of their
beauty of outline, and for the reason that they in-
vite investigation of the great art epochs they rep-
resent. An opportunity is also afforded to compare
the work of modern times with them. All speci-
mens of Greek pottery are not beautiful, but in the
collection made for this exhibition the uppermost
idea has been to bring together veritable things that
specially exemplify the beauty of form. The ex-
amples shown are classified as follows: Amphora, a
receptacle for wine, oil, and honey. 1 he Calpis and
Plydria were used for holding water. The Oinochoe
and Prochous were pitchers for pouring water.
Wine and water were mixed in the Crater, Kelebe
and Oxybaphon. The Aryballos and Lekythos
held perfume and ointment, and the Kylix, Kan-
tharos, and Scyphos were drinking vessels.

The remarkably perfect condition of the objects
in this collection will be commented upon. Some
vases were taken from the tombs just as they now
appear. Others were wholly or partly covered with
incrustation. When such deposit has hidden any
part of the painting it has been removed by an acid
bath and the original surface and drawing are
revealed

The miniature specimens in the cabinet are of
unusual merit and rarity.

CASE Q.
TERRA COTTA STATUETTES AND GROUPS

FROM THE PRIVATE COLLECTION OF THOMAS B. CLARKE.

The art objects shown under this heading are the
results of recent excavations in Greece and Asia
Minor. The difficulty of getting rare antiquities
from Greece to-day makes it impossible to indicate
with absolute accuracy the location of the "finds."
In Asia Minor the Turkish law forbids research and
the exportation of antiquities. It is certain, how-
ever, that the Myrina district has furnished many
groups. The first doubts about the integrity of the
Asia Minor and Greek groups have now almost en-
tirely ceased. The groups are made in moulds like
the Tanagra figurines. As yet no duplicates have
been found. The artist seems, even in groups of
similar design, to have treated the figures and dra-
peries differently in each composition. The original
coloring and gilding have almost entirely disap-
peared and parts of the first coating of white alone
hides the original tint of the clay.

The specimens shown are productions of artists
of the third and fourth century B.C. Some figures
and groups show the realistic side of life while
others portray mythological ideas. The impression
that these artistic objects produce is profound.

A few fine specimens of Greek and Roman glass
may be viewed in this case.

Note. — American paintings may be viewed during the summer
