has been a regular feature at all the chief art
exhibitions in Germany, as for example at the
Grosse Berliner Kunstausstellung and those held
from time in Dusseldorf, Munich, and elsewhere,
where they always excite interest and gain many
friends. At the present time the sculptor is
engaged on a series of works of a figural and
ornamental character destined for the decoration of
a school which is undergoing reconstruction in one
of the towns of Pomerania, and in view of the
steady progress he has already made in his art it will
be interesting to watch his further development.

overture to a grand symphony when we start our
studies from its left end, and proceed through a
semicircle of cabinets until we reach the passage
again. One could have wished, however, that the
rich and sonorous Renaissance decoration of the
first rooms had been carried out all through the
gallery. As it is, masters like Bocklin and
Feuerbach stand out deservedly in all their
grandeur; they represent pathos and poetry, gifts
which seem to be rare in these days. Marees,
