the left is a tall Roman column with its capital and entabla-
ture. To the left of the center of the hall is the Gothic
Portal of Bordeaux, with its pointed arch and sculptured
ornament; and on either side of it are examples of Renais-
sance architecture. The details of architecture which are
installed under the balcony are arranged in order of their
period, beginning with the Egyptian at the right and ending
with the late Renaissance at the left. This comprehensive,
though comparatively small, collection of architectural
details, combined as it is with the few beautiful representa-
tive examples of the various periods which are presented in
all their imposing dignity, affords the student valuable op-
portunities for study, and yet gives to the casual visitor an
impression of great beauty.
The paintings of the permanent collection represent the
art of many lands. The collection is, therefore, broadly
international in character. It is also contemporary, the
oldest work having been painted within the past hundred
years.
There are works representing France, England, Holland,
Italy, Norway, Belgium, Russia, Germany, and Austria;
but America is more adequately represented than is any
other country. The American works represent in some
measure the entire history of American art, beginning with
the period of Benjamin West and ending with the present
day.
French art is represented by such important paintings as
“Evening in a Studio,’’ by Lucien Simon; “The Mirror in the
Vase,”” by Edmond Aman-Jean; “A Vision of Antiquity—
Symbol of Form,” by Puvis de Chavannes; “The Judgment
of Paris,”’ by Emile Rene Menard; “ Christ and the Disciples
at Emmaus,”’ by Dagnan-Bouveret, and “Under the Wil-
lows,” by Paul Albert Besnard.
The British painters, Sir Alfred East, Sir William Orpen,
Sir John Lavery, Alexander Roche, and Maurice Greiffen-
hagen are each represented by an important canvas.
Two important paintings by Anton Mauve and a fine
example of the art of Jacob Maris may be named as belonging
to the art of Holland, and paintings by Ignacio Zuloaga,
Joaquin Sorolla v Bastida, and Valentin de Zubiaurre to the
