FIGURES ORNAMENTING A GOLD RING BY V. MIRANDA
Nor must I forget the window glass of MM.
G. Beltrami & Co., particularly the circular pieces,
broadly decorative in
style, and intended for
private houses and villas.
M. Beltrami has several
young and energetic
collaborators, strongly
imbued with modern
ideas — MM. G. Buffa,
I. Cantinotti, and G.
Zuccaro—and he aims
at adding the charm of
coloured glass to the
house of to-day; for in
Italy the only stained
glass we know is that of
the churches. Did space
permit, I might also deal
at some length with the
display of lace by M.
Jesurum, of Venice, one

adverse to the modern spirit, while still
lingering among the models of ancient
times.

among a considerable
number which he has
painted since the fire,

first exhibition in the
new premises. Of Mr.

there can be no question;
he is by competent judges
regarded as California’s
most representative
painter. We hope before

Art was also seen a delightful display by
Mr. Lerche, a Norwegian, but cosmopoli-
