RIO DE JANEIRO.—The Fine Arts
Exhibition was duly inaugurated on
September i by President Campos
Salles. Although the pictures are
not all of a very good quality, the
principal exhibitors succeeded in keeping them-
selves on a high level, and their productions are
deservedly worthy of praise. Almeida Junior
has again retained the first rank at the exhibition.
This artist, who made a hit last year with a large
decorative picture, has sent this year four great
figure panels, painted in a broad and vigorous
manner. He delights in the representation of
old people, in the study of age-worn faces, to
which he gives an intense expression, and in
which he shows his excellence in modelling.
His Mendicant, an old woman beggar on the Jfj \ .
steps of a stone staircase, is a fine example of his
peculiar art. _ bookshelf by h. vandevelde
Aurelio de Figueredo, the idealist painter, is
represented by some fine landscapes and an excel- landscapes in which he renders, in his peculiar
lent portrait in pastel of a young girl. Benjamin manner and with charming accuracy, the scenery
Parlagreco, a regular contributor, has sent some of the mountainous region around Rio, and to
which he gives life by in-
troducing well-painted and
beautiful cattle. A new
name in the catalogue is
that of Raphael Frederico,
a State pensioner, who has
just returned from Europe,
bringing a large panel re-
presenting the Temptation
of St. Anthony, and two
smaller canvases, less pre-
tentious but more interest-
ing both in composition
and in colour.
Teixeira da Rocha, who
is leaving shortly for
Europe, is a clever and
prolific artist. He is a
first-rate draughtsman and
a good colourist, and is
equally successful as a
painter of figures and of
landscapes. His prefer-
ences are, perhaps, for in-
table by ii. vandevelde teriors, which give him
